Recap:
12/25-1/1. Fuel panel fabrication. Surge tank with 3 rivnuts 1/4x20. Bosch with 2 rivnuts 1/4x20 and FPR with 2x 10-24 cap screws. KRC filter and Walbro mounted to bottom panel with 4 clamps and rivnuts 1/4x20. Once system mounted, line made -6AN to connect components as well as female to female -6AN swivels. Panels held on with 10-32 button head screws (8 on each panel).
1/1/18: Brakes: Mounted brackets and all hard lines. Kept rear passenger loose to allow movement of cooling pipes through tunnel.
Mounted pedals to floor. Ran low pressure lines through firewall. Installed parking brake cables, assembled parking brake lever.
Body: mounted heat shield inside footwell. Seat to brackets. 7/16x20 bolts, nuts, washers.
Ran cooling pipes under tank in sleeves. Needed to soap up sleeves and slide tank and pipe at same time. Tank clearance issues with rivnuts in tunnel, insulation on pipes. Mounted shifter with 4 x 1/4x20 rivnuts.
1/6/18 Completed brake system: ran ss lines. Just need to tighten all fittings. Installed throttle linkage to pedal and adjust. 1/4x20 1” and 2” bolts with flats and nylocks. Fabricated throttle arm between pedal and DBW system. 1/4-28 threaded rod cut to about 9”, rod ends, jam nuts. Completed fuel panels. Used 1/4” rubber isolator behind FPR and 10-28 cap screws with nylocks.
1/7/18: Drilled bulkhead for parking brake cables, Run parking brake cables and adjust into lever. Need to route once engine in. Installed front clip and run coolant lines. Bead line ends. Mount reservoirs, clamp low pressure lines.
1/18/18 Seam seal the rear bulkhead then heat shield the whole rear. Drill for harness mounts. Use flat bolt-in mounts for shoulders and sub, 1” angle to make brackets (2 per seat) for lap. Ordered 12 bolt ins. Passenger seat to floor with 4x 3/8 nuts/bolts/washers/plates. Drivers seat spacers between bracket and slider. spacer welded in. If still wobbly when bolted in, will remove seat adjuster and go with extra holes in floor and plugs.
1/20/18. Lift kit mounted. Used 1/4-20 bolts for reservoir and pump. Pump to fiberglass floor with thin rubber pad. Fittings simple. Diagram at ramliftpro.com and Allans videos. Finished first coat of stick on heat shield to rear bulkhead. Drilled all harness belt holes. Made 1 mistake by not checking rear before drilling front. Wound up inside frame rail. Using bolt on mounts so nothing but 1/2" holes. Took out rivnuts for shifter as upgrading to new style. They were 1mm from tank so would recommend to avoid or to shorten tank legs 2mm. Tank sat slightly higher as I did put edge guard on legs for vibration damping.
1/28/18 Slotted tank bolt holes, bolted in tank. Fabricated 12 harness bolt plates, Made bracket for oil tank. Ran heater hose under tunnel, 5/8” 15 foot long x2. Bolted on alternator and starter. 4mm of washers to mount alternator directly to block. Alternator Part No.8301AN from Advanced. 160AMP Carquest for 2010 Silverado 1500LT
LS7 engine mount bolts M10-1.5-25mm (10.9) x6, M12-1.5 50mm x2 for motor mount with 2 nuts. 3/8 x 3” x4 for crossmember

Going to caress my oil tank mount to make sure it is as close to frame rail and bulk head as possible. Got the LS lift plates per
http://www.gt40s.com/forum/517843-post613.html as my home made brackets too thin and just bent in towards manifold. Hope to lift engine and Graz in today to get cross member drilled. Then I can see where other stuff can start fitting.
Returned bolt in harness mounts to Summit. The bolt ins are already on the harnesses. Duh. Returned Peterson oil tank 08-0008 2.5gal for the 08-0009 3 gal.

Here is the correct oil tank for LS dry sump, not yet on bracket, just leaning.
And like Kurtiss, but less fancy. I just need to slip on grommets for protection.
