Few small jobs in this one, first up mounting the Turbosmart FPR.

A pet peeve of mine is FPR's and catch can's etc on a smooth firewall, I went with this unit as its super compact and can still flow 2000HP of fuel. More than enough for my little LS3!

Decided to mount it to the back of the intake manifold with a few fittings, unfortunately no matter how hard i searched i could find a 120 degree female to male union, so i chopped up a 180 degree fitting i had and welded a male bung to it. I then bent up a small bracket and bang, all done and nicely hidden away yet still accessible to adjust the fuel pressure if needed.












I plan on having the frame / engine / gearbox as easy to remove as possible so i have opted for a set of bulkhead connectors to quickly release the engine loom from the body when required. Unfortunately these connectors i quite bulky so i built a small recess for them with some 2.5" exhaust tubing, that will be welded to the firewall once final placement is decided.

The last image shows how far out into the engine bay the connector would sit if it wasn't recessed, imagine the edge of the grey tubing as the firewall.
