Looking for pics of the finished product becauce I'm not sure how the coolant hoses go, and where to tap for temp sensor and oil pressure sensor. Any detailed pics would be greatly appreciated.

 

Water temp and oil pressure stayed in the same places as stock, just used SAE to Metric (I made mine) adapters to adapt the Autometer gauges to the metric ports.

steam line goes to the top of the waterpump to a port I drilled and tapped and used a brass fitting to attach to rubber hose.

 

Mechanical oil pressure tap was into the bypass above the filter, here's the rest

 

for the temp gauge, i used the port on the pass side, rear, and used an adapter from street & perf, metric to npt
for the oil pres., i drilled/tapped the small block off on the oil pan, next to the oil filter-S & P also has an adapter for that if you wanted
i ran the steam line from the heads to a port i welded into the top rad hose area of the radiator
for radiator hoses, i used 2000 camero upper/lower, on an a body AFCO radiator-i run a procharger, vette style, and the upper hose fits right around it like it was made for it

 

For the temp sensor i ran a 1/4" tap through the hole in the passenger side head (im running autometer gauges and senders) and used an adapter. For the oil pressure i took the stock pressure sender and broke the top off, drilled it out and tapped it for 1/8" pipe and I run a line to my autometer mechanical pressure gauge.



For the steam vent i drilled the water pump right next to the outlet and tapped it for 1/8" pipe and put a barb fitting in it so i could run a rubber line to the tube on the heads.

 

here is my bucket....

 

wow...

 

This kit includes an adaptor that lets you remove the stock oil pressure sensor and then screw in a standard 1/8 NPT fitting

Water temp kinda sucks since the metric fitting in the head is so small that a typical sensor won't fit inside. I drilled out the plug for the block heater to install a stock Datsun sensor.

 

my is not pretty at all...but it runs good !!

 

Autometer sells fittings for use with 1/8 inch sending units....

 

Here is mine....

 

here's my LS2 in the 63 Biscayne 4dr, wish i found this site a long time ago , now i'm nearly finished

 

can u take a better side shot of that motor?.......I wanna use that work of art as a wallapaper on my computer....very nicely done, love the all black look.

 

I'll snap a pic of the oil press fitting tomorrow when I'm in the garage.

 

lookin good.

 

Automter PN 2277 for 1/8 to M12x1.5 for the coolant temp sensor.

I just used a 1/2" NPT T with my remote oil filter and put my oil pressure sensor right before the oil returns back into the block.

Heres a pic of mine, not quite finished yet.

 

I tee'd the coolant line to my upper rad hose

 

couple of pics, 2nd one is when i had a smaller filter element to the air cleaner, i've swapped it to a 3" filter now. mine is running the msd 6010 box.

 

Anyone want to trade your RPM intake for a brand new vic jr?

 

I've got a Performer rpm I'd swap ya for a Victor Jr. anytime!!
