Default LT1 SS progress pics

Just thought I would post a few pics of the progress of my car. Basically the same setup, except-

painted engine compartment/undercarriage

rebuilt engine/more head work, replaced rearend

BS3 with staged injection

tubular k-member, replaced suspension (mostly with 1LE pieces)

Replaced standard GT61's with ball bearing GT61's.

Thanks guys.

NA$TY-TA- Yes, 2 completely seperate fuel systems actually.

Stock tank/93 octane walbro intank feeds 1st set of injectors.

7.8 gal fuel cell/C16 walbro inline feeds 2nd set of injectors which spray on top of the 1st set when they reach 80% (or whatever programmed) duty cycle.

So, I will be able to cruise around indefinitely on 93 octane, and race fuel will only be used when needed.

Thanks

Thanks everyone.

Got Me SOM- Should make at least the same, but if it's a hundred or so better I won't be suprised.

RICE ETR- Never used this fuel line before. It did cost about twice as much as the regular stainless braided line though (and probably not as durable), but I like the way it looks, and it doesn't scratch anything.


1CAMWNDR- It's a Currie 9in, which I modified for 3 channel ABS, and also had it powdercoated. Aluminum strange center, with Detroit true-trac diff, 31 spline axles, and 3.27 gears.

onfire- Using the same intercoolers, but I'm building some ducting to them. The cores are 15wide by 6in tall 4.2in thick.

CONVERTED- For the power level I wanted, twins are the only way I could do it and still keep all the accessories. A big single would have meant eliminating the A/C.
