Default Rolling Chassis

Just brought home a 1994 z28 rolling chassis last night for my hi compression 383 build. All the work was done by a professional shop. It has a 10 point cage with dual swing outs, an m9 spooled with 3.73s. 35 spline axles, 5/8 wheel studs. mini tubbed, etc. Seemed like a good deal, All the interior is still functional etc. Has through the floor subframe connectors, Denny's drive shaft, coil over suspension in the rear, adjustable torque arm. Aeromotive 1000 fuel cell. etc Came with 295 series MT Drag Radials. Etc.

I'll def get some pics. The fuel cell isn't hooked up right now. All the stuff has 0 miles on it. He was planning on pitting a BBC in it but never did it. Still has the stock lt1 and t56. What would you guys recommend for wiring the fuel cell. Has the 340lph pump built into it

I think what fex77k was eluding to is that pump won't last long street driven without a fuel controller! I street drove an a2000 pump my self and will be getting a controller really soon before putting any real miles on it.Sounds like you got a really nice project on your hands,any details on the 383? Heads cam etc?

That won't be an issue then, run good wire and keep the crimps to a minimum.

Mint. I was planning on a 6 gauge wire. Would that suffice. And how do you guys run it? The battery is going in the rear as well. Do you guys set it up on a relay or something.?

So my fuel lines are mocked up. Just need yo weld some mounting tabs on the fuel cell. The wiring is all mocked up as well. I plan on towing it to the track to see what it will run with a bone stock lt1 in a well set up chassis
It had 373s and is a 6 speed. Any guesses? Lol
