Hi Eric, That is my suspicion also. It is a crate engine, purchased new and never run (unless the factory ran it before shipping). The ECM has not been flashed or edited in any way. It is a stock GM Performance Engine Controller kit for 2006+ LS7 engines. I don't know how to verify...

Thanks for the advice. I have tried using two batteries; a brand new LiFePo as well as temporarily swapping the regular, 3 year old battery out of the Corvette (also LS7). The LiFePo showed a drop to 9 point something. The "regular" battery showed a drop to 8 point something. The engine...

Hi guys, I recently tried to start the engine in my SLC for the first time, but it won't start and I'm looking for ideas. - New LS7 Crate Engine - GM Performance Engine Controller Kit - Fuel pressure is 60 psi verified at the rails - Oil pressure builds to 60 psi with cranking - Will...

Hi Bill, Great idea on the edging! I will do the same and Jack is currently making up a roof duct for me. Do you recall the size of weatherstripping and rubber bumpers you used? (I assume these were McMaster as well?)

Fran: Could you please post a part no. or source for the "pinch seal weatherstrip"? Pete: What are you using to hide the machine screw heads? Are these being covered with weatherstripping, or are they visible when the door is open? I assume they don't protrude far enough to interfere with the...

For you guys with an interior, how are you mounting the ceiling/headliner of the car to the body roof? Bonding looks like it would be the cleanest way to do it, but this would mean that if the body ever has to be removed in the future (e.g. for servicing the windshield wiper motor or for...

Here are some pictures of one way to do a battery box. Although, it's not really a box. More like a tray with a clamp. I am using a Shorai LFX36L3-BS12. Comments on one of the Corvette forums are generally positive after more than a year of operation. It is 6.6" x 3.4" x 6.1" tall and weighs...

What are you guys using for door seals/weatherstripping? Any part numbers or sources?

Thanks. After I wrote the above post, I went back into the shop and scratched my head some more. Attached is a picture of what I came up with. The slots were cut using a cutoff wheel on a dremel tool. Once the nut was cut to shape, it worked like a charm. Quick and easy and no plastic...

Maybe this is a dumb question, but can anyone tell me how to install the plastic three-arm nut-thingies in the Hella headlights without destroying them? So far, everything I have tried to rotate the plastic thingies so the arm locks in place has not worked and/or has been close to breaking...

Has anyone found a source for the standoffs Ken mentioned in post #2, or are you just making them?

I'm sure there is a thread on this somewhere, but I can't find it and wanted to follow up with some more info. The fuel sender supplied with my SLC kit is designed to be used with the Koso gauge. It is a 3-wire sender, requiring voltage input to make its tiny computer brain generate a...

In case it helps someone, here are some notes on the fluids that went into my (ls7) SLC: Engine Oil: 8 quarts Mobil 1 (synthetic) 5W30 Coolant: 16 quarts DexCool mix. (this is the total capacity. 8 qts coolant and 8 qts distilled water). Brake fluid: Dot 3 around 1 quart including some spillage...

I haven't done a puff test or run the engine yet, but post #20 shows some pictures: http://www.gt40s.com/forum/slc-clubhouse/44123-heater.html

I have 1/4" spacers between the body and chassis near each A-pillar (the location in the above picture). I also have a 5/8" spacer under the bolt through the cupholder (behind the rear edge of the door) on the right side and a 3/4" spacer on the left. Smaller spacers could probably be used at...

I am about to lock down the spider. Before doing this, all the body panels and doors and windshield were set in place. In general, the fit of all the parts is really impressive. However, it looks like the lower corners of the windshield have a gap of slightly over 1/4". I have tried shimming...

I'm not sure, but I think the position referenced in the prior posts is here (marked with arrow). The picture is taken from the front passenger seat, looking at the front right rollbar (A pillar).

There are probably better ways to do this, but here's what I wound up doing for the intake saddle: The intake tube needed to be shortened to fit the car. The cut portion of the tube made for a handy mold, when combined with some old cereal boxes and lots of electrician's tape. The two-part...

Welcome, A.J! Will your splitter be mounted to the car when you pick it up? Mine was not, so clearance to the splitter was not an issue. That being said, getting the car onto the trailer benefited from a sloped surface and getting it off required ramp extensions (landscaping lumber with...

Regarding the idea of a shifter guide plate: Looking at the throw on my RCR-supplied shifter assembly, the guide would need to be raised up close to the knob at the top of the shaft to do any good. If the plate were installed near the bottom of the shaft, the lateral movement is less than the...
