I was wondering the same. I see his name in the participant list, but he didn't score in any events, so I presume he didn't run?

The car developed a radiator leak on the way to SEMA. I chose not to try putting goo in the radiator. If it fixed it I would have to flush it out. If it did not work I still would need to fix it and flush it out.

The safest thing to do was bow out and fix it correctly.

Mark,

First of all Love your cars! Hope to see a DETAILED build on this car!

I am an the midst of installing an LT4 in a 71 Firebird. I see you went vacuum brake booster for the brakes. The instructions that came with the LT4 said use a vacuum pump as using a vacuum brake booster will have issues under boost?

What did you do? Pump or no Pump? If you used a pump which one did you use?

Thanks,
Stan

Mark, or anyone else following along. Thoughts on PCV plumbing for a dry sump LT4?

I see this.



Earlier in this thread there was a pic of what appeared to be -10? lines on the valve covers.

From what I can gather, GM ran a line from the air intake tube and a line from each valve cover to the dry sump tank. Is the Pro Vent on Gunner in line between the valve cover and tank or intake and tank?

......or is the Pro Vent the fresh air intake/blow off for the PCV system period.

The instructions are wrong. You don’t need a vacuum pump. The vacuum pump is for cold start on the stock car. So don’t park you car on a hill and deplete your booster and take off quickly on a 0 degree day and you will be fine....

It is Engineeringly correct yes. Do you have to have it with a stock LT4 with out cats. No.
