Because the studs shown on the aeromotive pump run from the inside of the tank up, all the holes have to be clearanced for the bolts to run through the holes (the tank, the seal and the top all have to slide over the bolts)....Then the nuts clamp it down against the foam seal. However due to...

Well, I could be wrong here, but if there is a leak, it's going to be leaking when the car is running regardless. At that point it doesn't matter if the fitting is on the top or side. You don't want leaks at all....a top fitting would only prevent leaking with the car/pump off. What I meant...

Resurrecting for follow up question. If wiring for PDM, would you wire single wire and look for close to ground? I understand you can just power the connector from 12v but then the PDM/ECU isn't getting a reverse indicator which can be used for other things (like a camera).

Aeromotive recommended this as the Sealant. I think they were mostly concerned with fuel leaking around bolt/thread, not necessarily the gasket or o-ring of the fuel pump.

I built my surgetank tank very similar to yours but used an aeromotive fuel pump setup (maybe less ideal than yours). I haven't been real keen on the setup lately because essentially we're pumping fuel continually against the seal of the fuel pump in the surge tank, until it flows back to the...

You might also check with Racehead Engineering to see if they have done any sbf. They have an LS kit that's pretty affordable I was going to go with and also have a solution for electric throttle bodies. High performance academy was going to use an ITB pair from RHD on one of their builds...

I pulled the trigger. Bought these for $225.

I've been looking for header options that will fit and aren't $3k. I was considering C8 manifolds with an LS flange (head). Slightly difficult because of how they transition from round primaries to oval ports. Would require some short tubing added to each primary for the area cut-off...

Thanks, I hadn't considered that. I'll do that when I go back to recess the bolt holes. I think one or two heads may interfere with the belt just slightly. I also need to add a shallow channel on one bracket for the head gasket that protrudes from the side of the head. It prevents it from...

I've been working on the brake and fuel system lines....lets just say I've had quit a few changes in direction and many purchased/returned fittings...and at least two hard lines flared without the fitting on....lol. I did manage to wrap up the alternator bracket finally. Plan on getting a...

I appreciate the feedback especially those that have experience with some sort of ITB setup. I'm definitely leaning further against the ITB's now. On a video of the ITB manufacturer they swapped stock intake back to back with the ITB's and everything looked great. One thing that was...

I'm in the middle of a decision making process. I thought I was going to pull the trigger on ITB's for my LS1. Previously I had a double catch can planned for my standard intake/throttle body setup....which won't work well for the ITB's without a vacuum source. I'm not that familiar with...

Appreciate the feedback, and it was spot on regarding accessibility, because I had gone under the car to see how I would do a belt change in finishing the design. Tightening the tensioner while also torqueing it was going to be tough. Fitting the manual tensioner was the easy route. I'm...

As I understand it, in chain drive system a tensioner should be located on the slack side and a pulling configuration is preferred. Is there a optimal location and config for Serpentine belts? I almost always see the tensioner directly after the crankshaft or close to it and can't see any...

I was sure to double check the starter cleared the frame when I lowered the engine. I seemed to have overlooked the alternator, not that it would have changed anything. Mocking up an alternator relocation bracket, I'll make of aluminum. This is really the only place it will fit. This pic...

LT6 crate engine talks?? Plans for LT6

I think if you are running stock LS power the G.96.01 may be ok, but if you running any type of forced induction I don't think it will hold up. That said, you'd be a brave soul to run a 917 at 1000hp (or even 750hp). I think there are mixed experiences out there on G96 longevity, perhaps...

Sorry to also not answer your question exactly. I'm cool with the LS3 but unless this is a street/show car, the G96.01 is not a great choice. My advice is keep saving if it's a financial issue. These builds take some time and you might not need all parts up front. I'm putting a G96.01 in my...

Got around to starting the process of lowering the engine. The trans mount is 90%. The take away here is our frame is so unsymmetrical (not a news flash), it was SUPER difficult to determine a proper alignment of the engine. Heres a before/after of trans mount. Superlite's mount is using a...

Took a little while to get things cut out and tacked. We tacked the motor mounts back to back before welding them to prevent warping the plates. Prior to some paint. Need to machine a little more off the bushings after welding the tubes. Next week hopefully we can cut the frame, motor &...
