Another shot of induction. I stuffed a 15" K&N cone in front of induction. Once i get it on the road I plan to make an airbox and replace the flex hose with welded ovaled Al. Right now I just want to get it driving.
Once i got rear clip off it was screaming for epoxy. i used Autobahn truck bed liner 2 part.
Ya, runs great. it doesn't have to be straight, i just measure 10" the centerline of this Al elbow. like in this photo. The ls376 has got a nice lope to it. It wants to be wide open all the time...:drunk:Hi Cam,
Does your engine run ok with that intake? I ask because when I was researching possible engine options for a GTM build, the GM LS manual suggested the Mass Airflow Sensor be located in a 10" straight section of pipe at least 6" from the throttle body. If yours works, that's great. More options that way.
Cheers,
Ruth
I'm in Texas and started running it in Sept. it hit 95F some days and i never saw a coolant temp above 210f. then again i don't have the rear clip wired and aligned. Hopefully this weekend. I don't have a liner on the FG, just truckbed line, so far so good. The heat reflective liner on the firewall/gas tank is good to 1100F. I hope i never get to that temp!Hi Cam,
Still coming up to speed on the SL-C. Is heat in the engine bay sufficiently contained or managed so that liners like you used won't melt right off.
I guess I'm not really sure if the body is enclosed under the engine in an SL-C. Is it?
Cheers,
Ruth
p.s. Thanks for such a detailed build log.
Mesa, the pics don't do it justice. The Duplicolor Chrome looks way more like metal than what you see in these pics.Cam
I get a kick out of the kid filming your burnout....the little giggle at the end just says it all - for all of us
Which treatment did you use to get the chrome look in the HL enclosures? Can we get a close-up of that work?
Thanks
Also, i cut 1.25" off the water pump inlet so it wouldn't hit the firewall. Waste of time. there was only 1 1/4" to turn a 1 1/4" hose, not gonna happen. Thanks to Jack M for the idea of welding the inlet straight up. This is actually his pic but mine was welded the same. On to the fuel supply....
