Did some more work today. Got the radiator fitted and installed and started to mock-up where the HX pump may go.


Radiator fits like a glove! Just had to do some trimming on the rubber isolators. No mods to the support had to be done.













Not sure if this placement will work due to the grill. Will test fit it with the grill on tomorrow.

Got the tailpipes and mufflers out along with the old fuel tank. Gotta pull out all the old hose and put in the new Earl's stuff in.


Finally on a hoist.









Old vs new. Rick's Restomod tank w/ CTS-V pump module. Will be using a Vaporworx setup with this.

Nice tank. Are you going with Earl's UltraPro Series Hose ?

korndawg

I went with their speedflex series. Should be plenty good enough.

New Restomod Tank installed!



Filler neck is a tad flimsy but not too bad. Could make a bracket if it becomes a problem.



Old fuel hose



Earl's SpeedFlex



Billet Specialties Battery Tray



Battery Mounted. Hated to drill holes.....but had to be done.



Drilled a hole thru the trunk plug. Wires from the Vaporworx and battery cable will run though it.



Used some super velcro from 3M that should hold the Vaporx ECU just fine.









CTS-V pump nestled in

Just read through all of this, looking great Korndawg! I am undergoing a similar swap into a 1969 camaro Thanks for documenting your experiences/progress! Lonnie

Thanks and good luck with your build!!

Wires suck.



Routing up thru the dash.



They will all fit under the dash.......right?



Fuse block fits nice and SNUG under the dash and mounted to the glove box.



Fits!!!



TCU and ECM fit great under the dash!



More routing



Converting the ZL1 lids water manifold to -12 AN fittings. Will look better and cool better going from 5/8 to 3/4 tube.

I used a weld on -12 fitting on my outlets. I had to offset them slightly to get the fitting nuts to clear each other. Also once you open it up look inside as there is a good sized restriction just inside the unit that can be opened up and smoothed out. Also take 1/2 the height off the outlet. This will let the fittings clear the stock LSA fuel line (you still have to flex it out slightly)

Since none of us are welders. I think I may just go this route and buy it.

korndawg

Looks sweet! How does that thing run in the ol Chevelle?

Korndawg,
That's a great find. Is it $$$$? link for others?

Andrew at dedicated is great to deal with! They also offer an intercooler brick reinforcement that I would recommend Lonnie

That's as far as I have gotten with it...Lol. Life and vehicle a.d.d. has gotten in the way of actually dropping it into the car. Hopefully I can get to it in May?

korndawg

Thats my target date to be on the road. So it'll be maybe August? Lol. Money and time go by way too fast.

That's quite a build

MR Korndawg,
You got that wiring harness, ECM mount done very cleanly. Looks factory. This car is going to be a blast. Very clean and looking OEM to boot.

korndawg

Thanks! Want it to be clean as the budget allows!

korndawg, I apologize if you answered this already, I'lf you don't mind me asking, where did you source your lsa from? I am looking to purchase an lsa, looks like jegs, summit, scoggin-dickey all list it for the same price.
nice ride by the way! Keep it up
