I'm going to get my LT1 car tuned up today, and once it's in good shape I'm going to start tearing down the Firehawk. I guess I should start with the in-tank fuel pump...
Then tear off the headers 2nd so I can sell them for fuel injectors....
I can't wait to fire this thing up two weeks from now.

Or I could remove the t-top holder in the trunk and pull back the carpet in order to cut an access panel. That way I could have the whole fuel pump install done in about 2 hours....
I'm not sure which way is best.
I just took a few pics...
Most bags were numbered by the previous owner so I can identify the items according to the instructions.

Ive known people that have done the "access panel" to the back but just for safety reasons/peace of mind i wouldnt recommend it. i dont think i would want a easy access to GAS in case of a fire in the car...ya know.

what you could do....
take a sawzall (sp?) and cut the muffler off where you can get the pipe and the muffler out without having to drop the rear....then while its out...take it and have a 3bolt flange welded on to put it back on incase you ever have to go into the tank again.

i'd do the access panel. B1er did it...was very hesitant to cut his car but now is so glad he did it that way. I actually meant are you gonna drop the motor from the bottom...install the kit and then put it back in.
I am about to go work on mine now. I am really at a standstill until i get my motor mounts/turbos.

I'm not going to use the upgraded scavenge pump or fuel pressure regulator because I don't have the fittings and I'm not sure how to retro-fit them into the mix.
I'm going to follow the instructions, get the hang of it all, and the next time around I can do things another way. I've never dropped an engine and I don't want to mess with it (learning curve) plus being in a small one car garage (no room to have the engine out of the car) also I don't have an engine hoist to hold the car.

What have you settled on concerning the turbos?

Yikes Josh...installing the turbos is harder than dropping a ls1 from the bottom. Oh well.....I tried. Remember the kit was originally fabbed on a camaro....the firebird is a little different. I and Mike Brown had to shave a little off of the block by one of the starter bolts to clear the wastegate properly. The air intakes dont mount exactly where they show but its no biggie...just move them an inch. I never could figure out where the damn horn goes. Oh, I had to shave part of my front bumper cover and parking lights to clear the intercoolers. Lemme know when you start...I may ride up. Mine is basically sitting waiting for motormounts so I can set it back in the k-member and then i'll need to reassemble the turbos/manifolds when they get back. Still shooting for the 16th-18th as a drive day.
I sent my turbos to blouch turbo...they got em Friday. He said 3-5 days so I figure they should ship Monday. He is going to try to fit the -12 cartridges in my housings...55lb/min flow...if they wont fit he will do the -11 turbos like you have...flow 50lb/min. The real limit will be the housings....I think I can get 850rwhp out of them....maybe more but counting on 850.
