Was originally my plan for the caddy, didn't want to lose the behind the liscense plate fuel fill ,and like you i didnt want to lose trunk space for as low as I want it to be , I figured I'd be pretty pissed if I scraped off fuel lines and pumps.....

Loving the Build, Great work! I recently picked up a 1957 Chevy 2 dr hard top that I plan on doing a nice turbo build. Im finishing the final touches on my 2004 cts V turbo build now.

Your motivating me to finish up my Buick. Been giving more love to the Camaro and Oldsmobile lately. I put my Buick on an Art Morrison frame, and put coil overs and big Wilwood's on each corner then let it "rest" and my pocket book for a while.
You should take it to the Buick meet in Bowling Green KY in the fall. I've thought of doing mine in an '80s GN, black on black color scheme. Like what the GNX would have been if born in the '50s

And for those of you wondering about the WARR throttle bodies. It took the stock sensors perfect. I checked the throttle blade screws, they had thread locker already. I turned the idle screw a little so that it just touched the stop then a touch to crack the blade open. There is absolutely no hanging of the blade. Damn thing starts and idles perfect. It's the 92mm. Just figured I'd share my experience.

We need an idle vid, lol
Where did you mount the fuel pump-as you have prob read, some guys had trouble with the 1800-i have the little brother 1400, I mounted it right in front of my tank, also sumped, so the fuel will gravity feed to it all the time.
I also found a ball valve, no restriction, and mounted it right out of the sump. After having to drain my tank to open the system, I said this isn't going to fly, lol
By the way, my pump has been in for 2 years, zero problems
