those are stock l92 heads. nothing fancy ( yet 
)
sultan , my goal is to see an ls1 in every car ( bill gates did it with a computer in every home , why can't i 
)
v8rumble , thanks ! dunno how that came out
cam72aro, thats one of tha major reasons i switched to F/I ( i was sick of carrying 4 bottles around every time i go to a race ) , that and i had the F1-r laying around
didn't get much done today since i spent the majority of the time disassembeling the camaro motor and cleaning it before i delivered it . i did however manage to slap some bling on the thing :
according to my calculations i should have the tranny in tomorow ( i wounder how many times i sadi that already ), and if i'm lucky and don't run out of t-bolt clamps i might just finish up the whole intercooler piping thing. then maybe i could drop the tank .
another thing i noticed is that i moved thee radiator so much forward that it now has a bit more space than i need between it and the blower . i'm debating whether to pull it back , or see if i can fit the stock fans in there.

i finally dropped the tank today, i was planning on cutting it and welding a sump in . but after i took it off the car i found that the sump i got was a bit big. it was not going to be a cut and weld deal. it would have required a bit more fabrication and time to get it to fit; so i decided to just use a bulk head fitting on the bottom of the tank. i located it centrally so that if you remove the fuel level sender you will have direct access to the nut. and from that i'll just run a 90 deg -8 hose end to the rest of the fuel system. ( no pics today- i forgot to get the camera )
i also finished the bov deal; i cut a hole in one of the 90 deg bends and welded a tube and the voretech mondo BOV to it . the BOV sits just infront of the pass. side front tire. all that is left is to run a vaccume line and finish the maf part and the elbow into the T/B.
so the plan tomorow is to clean and button up the tank and start running the fuel lines and pumps/filters. i'll also try to finish up the intercooler piping and a few odds and ends under the car.
the next few days i'll focus on the top end of the car again; i'll mount the water injection pump somwhere and plumb that, finish the front bumper and mount it and then start on the interior ( guages and what not) and the wiiring .

well i got the tank sump deal done , i had to use 2 bulkhead fittings since i'm using 2 pumps. i also mounted the walbro pumps and filters right behind the rear bumper :
the pumps have their feed lines go around the tank and meet in front of it using a y connector ( both hoses on each side are -8 , and the outlet from the Y is a -8 too), from there i'll run a hose under the passenger side and into the engine compartment.
and as promised , pics of my sexy vortech mondo BOV resting on my even sexier welds :
and here is how the intercooler piping looks so far:
i finished bolting the torque converter too, i just need to run the fuel line now, install the rear bumper, and find the stupid shifter bracket spacers that i seem to have missplaced and install the bracket .
and here is a shot i took on the way to the garage ,,,, i like to call it " just chill'n "

yup , i'm a native here. went to the states for school (ASU) and now i'm back here giving ricers and sport bikes a hard time
well i finished the fuel system now , i just have to check it for leakes under pressure. i also installed the rear bumper and cover , so the rear end of the car is pretty much done.
next up on the list :
finish the intercooler piping (mostly the MAF part), pull the radiator a bit back since i have room between the blower and radiator, and maybe have time to hack up the front facia some more
