ok stop with the damn fuel pump. i am running the walbro and thats it. if it goes out then you people can say something. but until then

[ls1_chevelle]

i am leaving today to go to Australia for 12 days so there will be no real updates

[eviltwin_1987]

Signing up - can't wait to see how this ends! Should be excellent. By the way, you are doing all of this with a bum wrist? Hats off to you and this one is for you!!

hmm that harness and pcm look awful familiar.....lol

nice project always wanted a syclone....

I hate to beat a dead horse but the walbro pump is just fine. I've used them 5 times in my own builds, 7 times for friends cars and about the same for customers cars and only had one pump ever die on me. That was partially my fault as I was building my own dual in tank set up and wired it wrong. Oh and the 65 is pisser! Looks bad ass skimming down the raod! G

made the motor mounts. i just have to weld them together. i placed everything based on the stock truck manifolds fitting. the motor is alittle farther forward than it normally would and alittle higher. about 1/4" clearance with the steering and heater box thing.

[squee]

Might wanna have those manifolds coated or something. I wouldn't want them that close to things...Might melt the heater box...

[extremetoy]

id say make a log style manifold... dont bother wasting time making headers, and the manifolds look like they point in a weird direction/ hit stuff/ weigh a ton.
