Default Just finished my LS7 dry sump "hard lines"!

I bought one GM hose and cut the fittings off and then fabbed up these lines out of 1/8" wall tubing mated to -16AN fittings. They terminate at the front of the block where I am mounting my Peterson Dry Sump tank. I will be building the mating "soft lines" tomorrow to tie into the tank. Enjoy!

Nice work John. What year and model are you putting the LS-7 in, and which Peterson tank are you using? I am putting an LS-7 in my 57 Bel Air and am having trouble trying to find room for a tank underhood.

TIG welded, ground flushed, sanded and bead blasted.

It's going into my '88 Monte SS pictured in my signature. I'm using the Peterson model 08-0025 which is a 2 Gallon Single scavenge inlet, 19.5" high x 6" dia. with custom -16 An Male Fittings. They come standard with -12 fittings.

looks awesome John.. We found out that our GM lines are 1.5" too long. We'll need to find out if we can find a hydraulic shop to shorten them - if possible.

BTW, I just got out of the hospital from surgery so our project has been on hold for a couple weeks. I hope to get back on it the weelend after this coming..

How are you venting that tank, do you have a filter on the tank and are you using an oil cooler separate from the radiator?

Thanks for the reply.

I am also using the Peterson model 08-0400 remote breather an. At this time I do not have an oil cooler routed in.

UMI has a nice AN adapter now. That's another option.
