Made some very nice progress ovr the last few weeks. I will post a lot of pics tonight.
Rear is in as of last night. Underside detailing is complete. I had been at a crossroads for a while with regards to fuel cell vs. Ricks vs. sumped stocker and I am now pretty locked on the fuel cell for a number of reasons. The main reason is that while I give up trunk space, I gain a ton of room underneith to mount the fuel pumps as well as additional mufflers/resonators for the exhaust system. I am making some custom touches on the bumper and I want to make sure that there is plenty of room for the tails/mufflers. I want this thing as quiet as possible. Also, this thing will be going turbo eventually - onec I work out the bugs in my '84 race car. Putting the cell in the trunk just offers up so much more room as LS1NOVA proved in his build.
Also, long block is done and am waiting on Pace Performance's accessory drive so I can install the balancer, etc...and final torque the pan.
Picked up coils and brackets, HOWEVER, got screwed on an EBAY buy and now need L92/LS3 valve covers....AGAIN. If anyone has a pair for a reasonable price, let me know. I need the ones with clearance for offset rockers.
EZ EFI is on the way! Thanks Jake from JRS!
Pics to come! I shoudl have this thing on the road by summer...it won't be pretty but I don't care.
Goal for this iteration will be 11s first time down the track. Very doable in my opinion.
Thanks
Dave
