awesome project man and it seems you are doing it the right way too, with all the goodies... keep it up, Im subscribed to get all the updates, keep it coming...
I MUST APOLOGIZE. I'VE BEEN BUSY TRYING TO GET THINGS DOWN AROUND THE HOUSE THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING ALL SUMMER, BUT SOME HOW MANAGED TO PUT OFF. I HAVE PRETTY WELL DECIDED THE CAR WON'T BE DOWN TILL SPRING. I DO PLAN ON GETTING THIS THING FIRED UP HOPEFULLY WITHIN A MONTH? I AM MAKING SOME PROGRESS. MY CURRENT PROBLEM IS GETTING THE STEERING PUMP HOOKED UP. I BOUGHT AN FITTINGS AND BRAIDED HOSE TO MAKE MY LINES, BUT THEY WON'T WORK ON THE C6 CORVETTE PUMP. THE PRESSURE PORT ON THE PUMP IS ALMOST UNDER THE PULLEY. BY THE TIME I PUT THE ADAPTER INTO THE PUMP, THE 90 DEGREE FITTING WON'T CLEAR THE PULLEY. I ORDERED A CORVETTE HOSE ASSY, WHICH WILL WORK ON THE PUMP END, BUT THE GEAR END TUBE IS TO TALL AND RUBS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PULLEY. I AM GOING TO GO TO TUBES N HOSES AND SEE IF THEY CAN SHORTEN UP THE 90 DEGREE TUBE AND REFLAIR IT FOR ME. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO SCRAP THE C6 ACCESSORY DRIVE AND GO TO THE F BODY ACCESSORY DRIVE. SUPPOSABLY THE F BODY SET UP MOVES EVERYTHING TOWARDS THE RADIATOR, WHICH WOULD GET THE PULLEY AWAY FROM THE STEERING GEAR PORT. I PULLED THE GAS TANK SATURDAY SO I CAN INSTALL THE SENDER AND PUMP WHEN I GET SOME TIME. STILL NEED TO WIRE UP THE IGNITION AND FAN CONTROLLER. I STILL NEED TO ORDER A DRIVE SHAFT. I CAN SAY THEY AREN'T CHEAP. I WILL GET SOME PICTURE AND POST THEM IN MY ALBUM SOON.LSCustoms said:
THE HEADERS, MOUNTS, AND CROSS MEMBER ARE FROM BRP. HEADERS ARE 1 7/8 INCH TUBES. THE CROSSMEMBER IS GARBAGE. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT. HEADERS FIT BUT THEY HAVE SOME MIGHTY TIGHT CLEARANCES. THE MOUNTS BOLTED RIGHT UP TO EXISTING HOLES. KIND OF A PITA TO GET INSIDE THE CROSSMEMBER TO BOLT THEM DOWN.uneek1976 said:
