Al, Everytime I check out the thread I finding myself reaching for the phone to call the Chevy dealer to order a new 5th Gen Z/28.Love the build.:thumbsup:

That going to be a bad ass car right out of the box. Faster than many exotics.

Thanks guys! Boys rally appreciate all the votes of confidence.

Doing a lot of misc stuff right now.

After three different coil bracket designs, finally settled on this one. Kinda cool as it's becoming a part of the tubular front cradle.

I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Plumbing up the whole deal... engine, trans, ps, diff coolers, radiator, fuel, brakes, catch can, vacuum lines, etc...... is a lot of work.

This was pretty cool. Instead of using a clamp to hold the vacuum line, the boys removed factory press in tube and replace it with a AN fitting.

1/8 NPT thread was taped.

A lot nice and mechanical look.

Random pics but I thought I'd post it as it's looks so clean!

A lot of work went into making the bracket for the catch can. The spacer was welded to the bracket for a clean look.

You can see a better view of the bracket in this pic. Now it just need to get powder coated.

In the next three pics you can see how the PVC line was completely rerouted to the back of the engine.

Very nice work on the coil mounts! Plumbing is an art - just like wiring. Takes a lot of time to make it all work and look as clean as possible. Great job!

waynieZ 01-12-2014 02:23 PM

More great Fab work ! Very Nice Al.

Absolutely beautiful work! The attention to detail is insane!

I just have one quick suggestion with the position of the MAF -- I had mine about that close to the throttle body and was told that when the TB blade closes if the MAF is mounted to close, the turbulence is forced back through the MAF resulting in inaccurate readings/single sent to the PCM. It needs at a minimum of 9" to 12" to avoid this.

Thanks guys.

Thanks for the suggestion on the MAF. This is the intake that was on the car before.

We will keep our fingers crossed as you know how it is with this stuff. You never know until you try.

Awesome stuff Al !!

What do mean plumbing is time consuming and difficult.... :rofl:
