Nice looking project. Good luck with it.

 

Thanks

 

Here are a couple updates...

Notched out for the vertical radiator.


Used bondo to smooth it out.


Painted the engine bay.

 

Looks really good..

 

What did u use to paint your bay? Also how bright is it, doesn't look as bright as I was thinking it would. Reason I ask is im getting ready to spray my bay and mines white also. GL with the build.

 

It looks brighter in person. It matches the outside paint of the car with the same brightness. I just used spray paint. 2 coats primer, 3 coats Dupli-Color Artic White paint, and two coats clear. Here is a picture that looks a little brighter...

 

Good build so far bud. I can't wait to see more progress.

Glad the rack and linkage I sold you will be put to good use! Lol

 

Thanks man. Glad to see someone in my area that works with f-bodys. I'll stop by when it's all done.

 

Finally back at it! I put my deposit down on the Huron Speed Truck Manifold Kit. The group purchase deal was too good to pass up. Here are some other new updates...

Bottom end ready to go.


I also picked up a turbo k-member even though I don't need one with the Huron Speed kit. It's always nice to free up some space.

Pa Racing Turbo Kmember

 

Man I forgot about this build, what turbo were you going with.

 

Yea it's been a while. I am finally able to start back up on the build. I actually just ordered the new Billet Turbonetics 7675 .96a/r today. They should be shipping it out in a few weeks.

 

Glad to see I am not the only one doing the HS kit in an LT1 car. Looks like a fun project man!

 

Nice car you will love that Tu2 cam trust me

 

Nice to see it coming together, looking forward to this build! Thanks again for your support and let me know if there is anything else you need!

Thanks guys

 

It's been forever, but here is how the car sits right now. The car was put on hold for a while due to starting a new job, moving, and getting married. There will be more updates in the near future.

 

I found this on my phone from when the motor was going in the car. If anyone missed it earlier, it is a 370 with a TU2 cam, Diamond 16cc pistons, Compstar rods, and stock crank. I am running 317 heads that were checked over and assembled with BTR dual springs and Manley SS valves.

 

I also have a couple updates....


I made a radiator cover.




I started on the fuel system. Here is the Y block that is going to feed the back of my rails.



I ran into a problem with the alternator relocation being very close to the fuel rails. I solved the problem by running a 90 off the rail and notching some of the plastic cover on the back of the alternator.


Here you can see where the plastic cover was notched.

 

It's going really nice man! Hope to see it run

 

What're you doing about a fuel regulator? Good looking build so far!
