Hey Larry do you guys make a kit with everything for the 94-97 LT1s, if so how much is it and how far back do the braided lines go, all the way to the fuel tank?

EDIT, never mind I found it on the website, does it also include the fittings for the fuel rail?

they are the summit fabbed aluminum covers. also these come blank, so there is not any place for a filler cap or ccv. Gives you much more options for a custom fit to work for you.

He does make them and they are $155. He has them on his website now. They go as far back to the hard lines under the drivers side seat. There are quick connects at that point.

Wow, that does look good. It's kind of funny, I just emailed Larry today asking about their kit for my '93.

A couple questions... How is the connection made on the bottom side? Also, do you think with a little more trimming the lines could be connected with maybe a 90deg at the manifold? What size are the hard lines underneath? It's been a while since I've been under my car (long story) but if I remember right they're about 1/4". The ones on the manifold look like they're 1/4" also. Any negative effects by stepping from 1/4" tubing to -6 (3/8") then back to 1/4"? I need to get out in the garage and take a look at mine and see. I'm in between doing this kit or just jumping in and modifying the rails for AN fittings and re-piping.

Edit: I just saw the post above mine about the bottom end connection.

anymore trimming then what i did you would be using a straight connection. At that point it is very difficult to get back there. They are connected to the underside with quick connect fittings like on the original underside plastic fittings.

And it's just a compression connection on the hard pipe on the manifold side?

That's it. Pretty easy right. The shredder valve was removed during the trimming of the hard line. So that it what the "T" fitting is for. It has a -4an to 1/8 to screw into the fitting and has a cap on there to retain pressure. This port is for a FPG or a nitrous fuel connection. In my case it will be both.

Actually they are 3/8 and 5/16. There is no step down at all. This is the proper sizes.

I can go outside and take a picture or two for you right now. For warned though it is still dirty as hell on the bottom side due to my intake manifold and valve cover gasket blowing at the same time back before the tear down. It cant get cleaned off till I get it back on it own shoes lol.

All in all though it turned out very well. Thanks again for putting everything together for this.

thanks for allowing me to put together this kit and sharing pics for everyone

There should have been 4 Adel clamps and self tapping screw to retain the lines. I can send some if they were not with the kit.

kits are complete and require no addition fittings for 93 or 94-97

The 93 kit requires a little modification to the lines as you can see and the 94-97 kit does not.

please email or call me with any questions you might have
