Yes it is Weldon diff cooler pump mounted on the axle housing. I wanted it to be below the fluid level. They are a self priming pumps but I wanted to try it on the housing.

Dunk that fitting in there hanging off a piece of welding rod - swish it around and rinse it off in fresh water - and polish it right up.

If you make the solution too strong - it will fizz and boil and you better be quick on your dip! Also DO NOT PUT THIS CLOSE TO YOUR FACE either - the fumes are more than nasty! Make it too weak and it takes forever... after a couple of batches you'll get the hang of it.

EEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA

You can use Easy-Off also

I stripped this fitting prior to welding it on my dry sump tank

Finished the exhaust, fuel lines and diff coolers line.

Can someone help me out? The lines on the passenger side are for the diff cooler, right? I assume that the line on the left will be the fuel line? Also, I assume that this will be a dead head fuel setup...like the corvette?

Lines on the pass side are 1/2" for diff cooler. I made them 1/2" due to the fact I'm going to the front of the car. The line on the left is a 3/8" fuel line. I put it on the driver’s side because the LS7 fuel feed is on that side of the engine. My first time making hardlines from scratch. It was fun if you have the right benders. I purchased Ridged benders off Ebay cheap. The 1/2" lines take some effort to bend.

I love the Ridgid stuff, they work great. Stainless can be tough to bend, gets pretty stiff in the 1/2" size. I learned on aluminum............
