Project ""Mercury Rising"" 1969 Camaro - Lateral-g Forums

I'm running a vaporworx tank which is a very well engineered setup. Do a search on here. It returnless and just controls pump speed...same setup these days in late model performance cars..CTS-V, ZL1 vettes, etc. You can get all the pump you'd ever need as the setup works with a number of fuel in-tank pumps.
If you plan on driving this much distance you won't want a return type setup. Do a search on here for overheating fuel and you'll get lots of info about frustrated hotrodders with their return EFI setups...esp big horsepower builds. And this 572 motor is a massive heat pump in the engine bay of a 1st gen Camaro.

Looks like I'm buying someone a beer. Thanks David.

Here's the latest https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=43259 Twin turbo making somewhere in the 1300hp range, so there's some underhood heat issues brewing, but not with the fuel.

Very cool to see a Big Block in a car that can do more than just drive straight...

The wheels look awesome too.

Nice project!

They are Chassisworks headers as they are specific to their subframe. These of course are for BBC with 2" primaries. I modified the three bolt flange and had a 3.5" V-Band welded in its place. Looks like they fit '68-'72 Nova's as well when using their subframe.
