When I did the LT1 conversion to my 67 Chevelle I was able to tuck the filter into the fender cavity behind the headlight. It kept it dry and safe from road debris. It looks like you have more fender cavity room in your 72 so it should work for you too.

I later built an enclosure to seal it off from the engine compartment heat so it only pulled air from behind the headlights. This was a noticeable improvement in power when the car was fully heat soaked from driving.

 

I have see that also but with the oil filter and lines there it would have been a pain to make a box to seal if from the engine heat.

 

What software are you using to tune the car? I am running a similar set up.

LOVE THE SOUND OF THE CAR

 

I am using HPtuners. yeah I really should have left the exahust off it for a while but I need to get it tuned first.

 

here are a couple of interior shots

seats and console


I beat you can ID the console


Hide the ODBII port


VCM placement I am making a plate to cover this and hold my trans temp gauge.

 

just an update I will be starting the T56 swap this week seeing as I have trashed the 4L65E already.. so if any one needs any of the Auto parts Drop me a PM

 

what do you have the auto set up?

 

well I have the B&M super cooler the biggest one they have
Ext. Oil Filter mount with two 1/8 NPT fitting for temp gauge sensor
-6 lines that run from the trans to filter and cooler
Like New B&M hammer shifter
trans as a core with stock converter
The 3000 stall TCI converter if it is still good
Autometer trans temp gauge.. that all I can think of right now..

 

Sorry to hear about the trans failure.

Good luck with the T-56 swap. I loved my LS1 / T-56 car. Even with 4.10 gears I was able to get 25 mpg out of it at 75 mph.

 

The T56 is what I wanted in the first place but I got the trans from a friend that was going to a manual so i got a good deal on it...I think.

I had fun with the Auto while it lasted..

 

Well here are a few pictures of the T56 install.



here is the chevelle on the lift next to the other project.. it is a 1969 chevy C/10 that is getting a 2001 chevy 1500 5.3.4L60E setup.. it will have the dash cluster from the 01 and steering colum.
