BUILT LSX Stroker into a 95 Z28
What are you planning to do for vacuum hoses? What would be cool is if you or someone else doing this swap, could take measurements and make a detailed list of all the hoses needed so it would be pretty painless to make them and install them.
Theres a guy on ebay that I bough my silicone vacuum hoses from that comes with a diagram and a detailed instruction sheet of where all the hoses go and they are precut and numbered. Too bad he doesn't do this for LS1s.

The only Vacuum that will be connected to my Engine is the one for the Brake Booster, and the EVAP System(from the Fuel Tank). My Internal Vacuum System is not functional anymore, so I don't need any of that crap. I am goin to run a Filter on the PVC opening in the back of the Drivers side Valve Cover to have it breathe there, instead of sucking Oil in the Intake.
Edit: I changed the Vacuum setup, I have a functioning PCV System, elimated the EVAP System, and the Brake Booster is still there.

You have to run a vacuum hose from the fuel tank to the intake (for the vent), but other than that the booster hose is all I'm using as well. Just block off all the PCV hookups an put a breather in the valve cover.

Hey Merv, will you shoot me a quick diagram of your fuel connections under the rear of the car. I'm pretty sure the feed and the return have the "clip" fittings and the vent is the clamped one. I just wanted to make sure I have it right. Fuel Feed and Return go to the back of the Vette filter/regulator and the vent needs a vacuum hose clamped on and ran to the side of the intake correct?

I am actually doin all that under the Hood with that Filter/Regulator. The 2 go into it, and the one out goes to the Fuel Rails. I had to do a little modification..if you can wait a week I'll take a pic, cause that is when it will be all hooked up.

Well..I ran into a minor delay with it, one of my Main Cap Bolts had a stress crack in it, and when I was doing my Torque Sequences it broke off in the Block. I got it out no problems, but that stops me from building it up any further. I was planning on having the complete Shortblock done by tonight.

I left them Stock..they flow damn good the way they are, and I am not that big of an Engine to where that would help right now. It should go like hell as it is..

If I do end up going with the L92 setup, I'm probably going to clean up the exhaust side a bit. Should be relatively easy to get another 20-30cfm from it.

Depends on how you setup your Exhaust. It will have more Torque with a restrictive Exhaust. I am only goin to 6500 RPM's, goin to be running 3" Y-ed into a 4", then 3" up over the Axle into a Bullet. It should flow pretty good, it should do alright.
