Actually it's a duplicate of the grommet I use for my main harness. I get them from John at Speartech (the harness guy). It ended up working great for the nascar style column I'm running.

Mis-communication on my part I'm sure. It can be used with an LS2 but it's a PITA compared with just using a f-bod T56. Also, with the f-bod T56 you can run all their clutches and easy to get parts. Just a slight delay.

I can confirm that you HAVE to run the f-body LS1 oil pan with the 21st Century frame since the engine sits so low (close to the rack).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have a poly fuel cell in a sheet metal box? Ever consider moving to a real fuel cell like Fuel Safe, ATL, etc.(flexible bladder in steel box). Maybe install it in a 3/4" steel tube frame.

It had a Jegs poly cell. now it has a baffled 20 gallon stainless tank by Ricks. The box it sits in is quite secure and is held in place by square tube bracing.

I like the idea of the Fuel Safe bladder but this fit in the hole nice and should serve me well.

yeah, whey spend $2000 if you don't have to, most people who use fuel safe cells are doing it to meet a requirement in a racing class, they are nice but not required for most cars. Unless you just want people to see that big red tank with the huge white letters hanging under your car, gives you that racer look. They are the ultimate in safety, however how many cars/musclecars are running out there without one.

I plan to run either a Fuel Safe or ATL cell in mine. Too much can go wrong on a road course IMO to not have a baffled, puncture resistant cell mounted outside the car.
