I understand you ask what what happened here. It have been less time in the garage this winter /spring. I try to do something when and then, but just now ui have to be glad for the days i can escape to the garage...



After some reviews i found it best to place the ECU under the dash


First i make an bracket for mounting the ECU in front of the fender, but afterwhile i understand it was an bad idea. Now i mount the relay to to this bracket....


Relay for monting on my homemade bracket



The coils mounted on the firewall. last finish with paint have to be to last..


Funny to prepare the old cable,


All the cable are now fixed, ,and i will cover theme with hoses from painlessperformance


Any one who have a good idea, what should i use to cover this


I fount this tempswitch, for mounting in the head, left side.


Was visiting Pro touring Norway today

Owner of pro touring Norway have just build this Amazing Nova wagon. A real pro touring car with LT1 engine form 2014

Get some garage time just after holiday, and some small step when and then
Next step now is to make all electrical finished, and connect all the cable to the ecu before i place the engine in car.


Homemade bracket for relay and fuse box




A bracket make necesarry space to bbrake/steering bracket



extended cabel to gas pedal



much homemade here.. When i get optimalised the position i think it need to be reinforced..


Coil and bracket fasten to firewall.


Time for painting the coils and bracket. Bracket is reuse from the original valve cover bracket..

Check list for the cable work is done.. Good feeling to see this "todo" post...


Nice to have.. An old under dash harnes to a 70`s Buick , . Cable.. connector..make this instalation easier for me


i found a nice place under dash for the speedo x box.. I understand it will be som adjusting here before it show correct mph..


here i mount a relay to the starter.We live in 2018 now..


As near as cable to fan, mostly should be innstalled now. I need to clean up/ adjust. I plan to make a cover to hide this homemade installation..

Since last i do something "underwear" and mount upgrade sway bar front 1 1/8 inch,and adjustable koni shocks. The engine and parts is painted, and today i drop the engine to the car.

I havent done anything with Air intake, or intake pipe/filter
I have look at difference kit, but i have no experience with this, and perhaps some of the forum member ave any pict or advice, how to do this smoothy
I think it will be best to buy pipe for welding and modify self.. My plan is to take the air inlet out, forward innerfender at pass side. Perhaps make a shield
If someone have some tips, where and best stuff to buy i will enjoy that...

It's allot more nearer than mine.

Just saw your thread. Very impressive. There probably aren't many of these going into Pontiacs!

You make me wish I had painted mine pontiac engine blue.

(I am putting an LM7 into a 1962 Catalina convertible)

I may have missed it but where did you find the gas tank?

Tarjaei

Sorry for late reply,,, I use this http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/pa...rod/prd421.htm
It is 4" shorter, but i use this place for fuel filter etc

Tarjaei

I plan to do a lot of work in x-mas, but my body have other plan for me, and i was in bed with flu most of the last week in 2018...
last days i have make an custom cold air intake. i use 4# exhaus pipe and bends. Enclosed is some pic\s with som comment below each pic.

I found som universal spark plug holder... I use some grey senotherm paint from my stove shop...we have to see how it will look in 3 year..




I use 4" exhaust bend pipe and bends to make cold air intake . After finishing i plan to paint it black, probably semi gloss





I found an Air filter with low building height here.... https://www.spectreperformance.com/s...aspx?prod=8161 . I place it between radiator support and grill





From MAF sensdor to steel pipe, i plan to use the rubber below from the original LQ9 intake. The main question is about it is enaugh to offset the vibration ,,




Next step is to make som holder or bracket to the Air filter..




A friend helped me with customizing the " radiator/fan cover", so it fit the new 4" air intake tube







Homemade support/carrying , in addition i will make a rubber fastener/spring under cover, int the center of the cover.. .- The challenge here is to avoid vibration from the engine to the sheet metall
I will fasten rubber inside the support





the local paint shop Momrak verkstad will do the paint work on pipe and cover.. http://www.momrak-verkstad.no/

I make this adapter to air filter from some chimney/pipe parts...



Ready for paint

Tarjaei

I am excited if the map sensor will work correct, with so long air intake..


I make this cover., for hiding relay and fuse box
