the standard dual pass radiators move the upper hose to the passenger side and if ordered for LS, also has a location for steam vent.

What harness and controller are you going to use for the engine?

Were using the GM performance kit number 19259293 that is made for their LSA crate motor. The kit includes:

■Two oxygen sensors
■Two oxygen sensor mounting bosses (for installation in the exhaust system)
■A mass airflow meter
■A mass airflow meter mounting boss (for installation in the air intake system)
■A throttle pedal assembly (for use with the electronically operated throttle)
■A complete wiring harness with fuse box
■The programmed controller
■An instruction sheet.

The ECU and the fuse panel are going to be mounted under the dash inside the car.

Well it's time for me to pick the seats for Lou's Change. I've narrowed it down to these three candidates:

Recaro's "Sport" Seat with vinyl bolsters and suede center section.









Corbeau's "LG1 wide" in all black leather.








Arizen's "ST2" with inserts that match 69 Camaro back seat material.

Recaro 100%

Those other two seats are nice until you put them up against Recaro. No question......RECARO!!!!

Have you sat in them? Makes all the difference in the world. I compared the Recaro Sport, Speed and Corbeau. Speed gets my vote all day even if you need to recover to suit. GL Sir!

Well, after a lot of thought and research, I decided to go with Recaro's Sport Line seats. Thanks to those of you who gave me good advice.

"Changing Gears" , so to speak, Here are some goodies that recently showed up:

First a T56 Magnum supplied by Modern Driveline









We ordered the 1000 Horse Power rated fuel tank system offered by Detroit Speed.

It is narrowed to allow for their mini tubs plus the corners are notched enough for the exhaust to get by.

It also includes the VaporWorx system including the CTS-V dual pump fuel pump module inside.










Tank installed for mock up phase.

This picture requires a little explaining.

You are looking at the clearance between the ZL1 spec. supercharger hat and the bottom side of our SS style hood.

Eureka!!! It's going to fit!!!

Kevin and the crew at V8TV say they will clearance some of the hood bracing here and there to be safe but it looks like our plan is going to work out well.

Amazing build, can't wait to see how it all comes together.
