This is my dream build in a nut shell.

I've been envisioning something like this except in a more budget friendly fashion in a 66-70 Sedan Deville as they're more easily attainable. Air suspension, TT LS motor (because there's plenty of room, why not?), supple interior, clean body lines. Drool

Thanks!

As for power, it is going to be flex fuel so maybe 800 wheel on E85.

I'm thinking about selling these and switching to GTX3576r but not sure yet.

Which ECM/Harness/reluctor wheel setup are you using?
From my research, only the E40 and E38 ECM's (DBW) are able to handle the FlexFuel program which I am also thinking of doing.

And what throttle bodies are bolting to the batwing?

I'm now doing a 58x LSA engine. 09 E38 ecm T42 tcm.

Throttle bodies are from a Cobalt. Same plug as a C6. I had one running on our ZR1 and it throws P2119 as the idle tps values were slightly off but that's a type C DTC that doesn't put the car into reduced power mode. (ran fine other than the code)

I'm going to use the Ozmo dual tb controller and run it speed density.

OKAY.

Where are you putting the Flex Fuel sensor?
Will you put a parallel line for the supply or put it in line with the return line?

I'm using a boost referenced return style system so the sensor will be on the return line but either way will work.

I say keep the gt30's and see how they turn out. Can always upgrade later if required.

What did you do with the '10 Camaro manifolds since you've gone to the ZL1 SS manifolds? Any interest in selling them?

this is so awesome, perfect mix of old and new
