It is going back together. It will come back to my shop for the final wiring.

With the ecu up front where do you route the wires to go behind the engine? I wanted to do that with my gmpp controller but the wires weren’t long enough to put behind the firewall with the ecu and fuse box up on the core support

I extended the wires. Approximately a 100 of them. Well that is what it seemed like. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Corvette C6 ZR1 caliper with a Gen 6 Camaro ZL1 rotor with a custom hat made. The iron rotors have a better thermal properties compact to the Carbon Ceramics. Also the Delphi ABS will work better with iron rotors over the Carbons. I used the Bosch ABS on the last cars with Carbon Brakes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Is it possible to get a set of those rotor hats? I have C6 ZR1 brakes and would like to be able to put iron rotors on it for track days.

Bigger Pics?
Any chance we can get the pics enlarged in the thread?

Is that an off the shelf DSE car roll bar or something custom?

Thanks Mark! |
Mark, in few of your earlier posts you show that you're using IImuch vents, one for the diff and one for the fuel tank. It looks like the Rick's tank has provisions for a rear/ top fitting. Is that the only vent you're using? TIA. Let me re-phrase the question, is the rear tank port the only one you're using?

The Ricks tank has a vent system inside the tank to help. We also add a fitting to the filler neck to help prevent fuel from pushing out of the tank. With all of that said if you 100% fill the tank on a hot day then park the car in the hot sun it might puke over out the 2 Much canister. The issue is the Ricks tanks and most aftermarket tanks do not have room for expansion. This one of the only issues we had with Charlies new Riv. The 2 Much canisters do a great job with fuel vapors but no pure fuel. I may add an expansion tank to the project before the 2 Much canister to keep raw fuel out of it. Thanks for the comment I almost forgot about that. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Mark, looks like a 4 point bar. Any reason why you’ve gone to 4 point in the recent builds instead of the 6 or 8 (don’t recall exactly) you done in some projects?

To be honest to save time and money. The full cages are cool but make everything harder. Harder to make the cage itself. Harder to cleanly fit the dash pad. The park brake becomes an issue. Hard to fit the Vintage Air. Also at work for our track cars we have gone the the same set up. I design the safety equipment to plan for a front end impact. If I have an issue I plan to crash nose in. I might survive. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
You know these cars better than I, but I always thought my car suffered from flexing in front of the cowl. Before Hood pins, the hood would pop auto crossing and road racing with solid body mounts. I thought down bars would help stabilize, but that’s speculation.
Love the build! |

The weld in subframe connects help a lot. Yes a full cage is better if you want a stiffer car. If you want a fast track car buy a C6 Z06 and save yourself a lot of time and money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Fuel pressure question
When you turn the ignition on does the fuel pumps hold fuel rail pressure? Recently installed a lt4 in a friends 69 and ignition on the fuel pressure goes to 40ish and then drops to zero. Tested this with a online -6an fuel pressure gauge at the fuel inlet at the engine. My gmpp ls3 swap it will hold the fuel pressure with key on Secondary fan/ AC fan activation I noticed on a gmpp tune the second fan doesn’t come on till 221 degrees. What do you set your fan settings at? Can you activate the secondary fan with the ac on? |
Can you remind us, are you using something like Gates PowerGrip heatshrink for your hose claps?
|
Quote:
For the stuff that needs service it is the Gate Power Grip clamps. For hoses that need to be serviced an regular worm gear hose clamp with heat shrink tubing over the strap to make it black. Keeps things clean looking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Mark,
I really like the clean look of the rear of the car. Could you explain your rear spoiler choice (instead of say an adjustable rear wing) and how it works on track? Thanks. |
Quote:
Like you said it looks clean. If I was building this to be a track weapon I would do a different rear spoiler. 99% of time I’ll just be driving this on the street. For the few open track day I do it will be fine. I would rather have it look stockish vs some “Ricer” wing on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Curious as to why you haven't or when you're going to put a I.R.S on one of your Camaros Mark ?
|
Can you post the upper radiator hose part # please?

I’ve worked on a lot of IRS setups at GM and they are hard to get correct. I’m happy with my solid axles. Power hop issues. Breaking halfshafts and CV joints. Once you get to 800 plus Ft*Lbs a IRS get very big and heavy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Mark,
Leaving cost out of the equation for now, would you ever want to install a full frame chassis in a 1st gen? What would be your reasons pro or con? Thanks... |
If I missed it in here, my apologies. How do you normally handle your connections at the battery as far as any circuit protection and then where they (or it/positive) runs in to the engine bay for distribution?
BTW...thanks for always giving us a look behind the curtain and most importantly, the why you do things a specific way. |
