This is what I got done today. I was able to leave the Station, and chill at the shop for a few hours to work on it.

If anyone is wondering why there is a piece bolted on the Acessory Bracket, I keep breaking them off. That is the second one I had, and I fixed it better.

Why do you keep breaking the bracket? Are you not running the rear strutt?

Looks good!

Yea, I took that Emblem off of a Cavalier, and polished it up.
All the Struts are in place, it just snaps. I have a new set of Plug Wires going on it. I have to pull the Pan off Tuesday to check and tac-weld the Oil Pump Screen in place.

I wonder what is causing it?

the_merv

iTrader: (88)

Could be a certian vibration, could be a small stress crack. It's fixed now. Break it and build it better.

tac welding the screen is mandatory on any servicing of the pump or rebuild?

im thinking on taking mine off and cleaning it when i re seal my pan.

the_merv

iTrader: (88)

It won't move when you do it. The measurement I was told was about 1/4" from the bottom of the Oil Pan after you bolt it in. That is where the screen should set.

ok

i dont really know if it needs cleaning since i ran seafoam in the oil a few weeks ago..

what are you gonna add onto the engine after its in the car?

the_merv

iTrader: (88)

Nothing really. The Engine has some good stuff in it, I just have to finish it up. Then just bolt all the stuff back on, and drive it. I still have to put the finishing touches on the AC Panel that I made in the Fire Wall, and some other stuff has to be custom done. Hopefully it starts and runs.

do you have 5.7 or 6.0 rods?

youre gonna have alot of room with all that bullshit outta the bay. are you planning on getting LT's and a Cai,or already have em?

the_merv

iTrader: (88)

I already got them. I was the one that has the LS1 Box on it. I have just about every bolt on externally. Inside are Eagle Forged 5.7" Rods.
This is a pic of my complete Exhaust. My Aluminum Drive Shaft and Torque Arm are behind it.

pacesetters right? how hard was the lid setup?

how far from the tq arm and ds is the I pipe and dump?

the_merv

iTrader: (88)

That dumps right infront of the Rear Axle. It is pretty tight under neath it. I had to do a little custom stuff to get the Lid in.

Revelation Z28

iTrader: (10)

i was thinking of doing the lid conversion, instead of buying the moroso. but i had an idea of the time consuming of install, and figured 1 screw and ill have the same amount of hp gain. i have yet to put it on im waiting to get LTs.

Looking good so far, cant' wait to hear how she runs on tuesday

the_merv

iTrader: (88)

Yea, I am hoping Tuesday. It will be late Tues, early Wed. I have to get some stuff done still, and hopefully they let me in the shop today to mess with it. It's closed to regular people on Mondays.
