The ultimate TB bypass mod??? Well the project is ever closer to being done.. looking at firing it up wednesday night.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Here is my over-engineered, **** retentive TB bypass mod. I had a #6 AN fitting welded to the LS6 coolant line then ran #8 braided hose directly to the radiator. I also cut off the cooling nubs from the Throttle Body and filled the holes with JB weld.. now its like the car never had coolant lines to the TB.. think I will fool the dealer?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Tomorrow I add coolant, PS fluid, oil and bleed the new brakes.. im excited and a little worried that I forgot to tighten something.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

How did you do it? Lots of elbow grease polishing parts, eh? </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yep.. lots of polishing, plating and powder painting.. Here is a pic of the rest of the engine (take a few days ago so less parts on it)
<img src="http://members.aol.com/steven0932/motor7.jpg" alt=" - " />
All AC and PS lines converted to teflon lined braided.. all engine brackets smoothed and powder painted.. lots of detail work and a new TR 220 cam and valvetrain. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Cant wait to fire it up and hit the car shows and races!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I could not take that one to the track. Heck, I'd be afraid to take it out of the garage.

Re: The ultimate TB bypass mod??? your car belongs in a magazine...can you get someone to publish the car? Try Road and Track - all they publish now are Bee-Mutt-WWWs ...tell them this would be a refreshing change ...it would surely increase their readership...
...maybe GM execs will read it and start up F-Body production again!
...i would be scared to change the oil in your car ...i might spill some on the polished parts - WOW!!!
