Fbody spacing ICT billet bracket set is a real good value for the price and is easier than finding all the OEM stuff if you don’t have it.

I seriously like to know what everything weighs. The motor sits way back against the firewall in this swap, I can squeeze a finger in between the right head and firewall, later that proved to be a slight mistake as it was effing difficult to do a thing back there, upper trans bolts, ground wires, harness routing etc..

Cold air intake coming from the area between fender liner R. Headlight, 102mm (4”) with 2 bends, a 75* and a 90*
Exhaust system is 3” v- band connected with x-pipe, 18” Bassani flow throughs , FlowMaster 3” tailpipes, yep, there’s 2 small cats in there as well, helps keep the noise down and avoid those $1k fines they’re handing out here.

Hyper fuel 340 LPH pump. Tank material has so much garbage mixed in and is paper thin so a support plate fabbed up.

Access for fuel pump vs removing the fuel tank is argument for this. Battery covers it up

The Sidewinder shifter looks like a Morse Controls product. Top quality, if it actually is.

It uses a Morse cable. They are built to last, real solid.

Fitech engine management system, easy to use, cost effective.

A set of tires and wheels for the track.

Hey Great build! I dig your Fox Body!

I’m putting together a similar LS1 for my Vega: Same Wiseco Pro Tru pistons as you with a .005 over LS1 block and gen 4 rods Did you ever make it to the track or on a dyno?

I saw where you were unhappy about the bob weight. I understand your concern as the pistons are hefty, but actually your bob weight was really close to stock LS1. I’m hoping it doesn’t take much to balance mine. Thanks Dan

Great job on the build. Looks like it went together really well.
