Mark, car is looking great.
Have you had enough seat time to evaluate the QA1 shocks yet?
I'm very interested to know because I am in need (hopefully sooner than later) of some longer front shocks on my Firebird.

Thanks

There's an LT5 controller 19418270 isn't available until July (perhaps the global chip shortage) and the 19370666 for the manual transmission. Do you by chance know which you used and what the difference is between them?

Well one is for a manual and the other for a 8 speed auto. Different cals.

The hold up is making the harnesses. The suppliers are slammed. They are on order and should be made soon.

Do you know which is for the manual? I think the descriptions on the net list both for manuals, which is why there is confusion.

I called a performance dealer this morning and found out they are just different suppliers. The part number was changed make it easier to know which supplier it came from, both are for manual transmissions.

Sounds like you should grab the one you can. Getting parts is becoming a big issue nowadays.

Those are the production lift "Hooks" from the assembly plant. I purchased those a long time ago from SMC in Auburn Hill. MI. Not sure if he has anymore. SMC dealt in GM obsolete stock mainly from Corvette. It was great. New parts half the retail.

So far I like the Tilton Clutch. Zero rattles. Easy to drive. Great High RPM release.

Safe travels!

Great article Mark and another great build. I'm sure you get this all the time but the quality and attention to detail of your builds in a huge inspiration to me. As an engineer myself I can appreciate the effort and time it takes to make a classic car perform the way yours do. I also try to echo your strategy of using as many OEM, factory tested parts in my build as I know how much testing goes into developing them! I'm up in New England but hope to see one of your builds in person one day!

bdahlg68 05-20-2021 09:54 AM
Great article! How are the QA1's so far?

Installing a C&R Racing Rad.

Trying a new mounting strategy after failing a couple.

Looking at the two inlet/outlet holes on the DS of the radiator, can i assume you ditched the stock oil cooler due to clearance issues and are running the engine oil through the radiator for cooling?

Correct, we removed the factory LT5 oil cooler and used the one in the C&R Racing radiator.

The pinhole allows controlled venting to occur, so that when the fuel increases in temperature and volume (now that it's out of the ground), it swells into that void and doesn't puke out the vent lines.
THATS WHY YOU DON'T TOP OFF AFTER THE FIRST CLICK.

TOOmuch vent chamber gives the liquid/air time to settle out and is a great feature........but can't cope with massive west-coast changes in temp out of the ground vs. cooking in 95* ambient.

Aftermarket tanks don't have this feature.
Competing claims to the largest volume compared to the competition?

Carl?
I'm sure it may be still early to tell, but we've had a few 80+ degree days, so wondering how the fuel tank system is working out as far as smell/expansion, etc.?
