Every line there had to be modified except for one of the front ones... I got all the Fittings with it when I pulled it out of the Car.
I'm glad that it's gone.. it was kinking the Radiator Hose cause I had to set the Radiator back for the LS1 Intake. Now I just have to make a custom Fan Bracket to run 1 Fan..and clear the Water Pump on the new Engine

Thanks..
It's not hard to do really.. just takes a little research and time..that and all these F-bodies have interchangeable parts..just have to put a little custom work in.
I am always thinkin of something...If any of you guys have a question with something that is custom, hit me up and I'll try to figure something out..
Basically everytime I start one of these little projects, I have a 2 goals..
1. Can I do it and finish it, and have it work.
2. I know that they make anything out there.. how much will it cost me to do it myself..
Then once I get in the middle of it..I learn alot about what ever I do. After it gets done, I spread the word..
Example: My LSX Conversion Harness for my LT1 Car.
Cost to me: $260, Harness and Computer, 12 hours time invested.
Cost from any company that makes them: Atleast $500, and you have to send most of them a Harness that you got, so there is another $150+..
What I ended up with after: A LSX Harness that will Start and Run a LS Engine in my 1995 Z28, and I know literally every Wire in that Harness..objective complete.
Then ontop of that, I put in Connectors for LS2 Fuel Injectors(cost me $25, K-tech makes adapters for $75), and I put in a Connector for a Corvette Z06 85mm MAF Sensor.
I see all that custom stuff I did equaling about a $1000 Harness...
I tried to make that a Sticky, but it never got done. I figured that some of the Harness Companies probably would bitch about it and loose business..
I'm just a regular guy that likes to think outside the box..if it can be done, I will find a way to do it, and it will get done..

I'll mess with anything to get something better out of it, or get it to go a different way.
If any of you guy have an idea with something.. let me know and I'll give you an opinion..
