If his money is green, I'd sell no matter how stupid he was.

Davy, Thanks, Come up and help me finish it. I don't know about the autofair yet. I usually decide a day or two before the show. Will you be there?

Thanks, John, It will probably be in the fall before I have time to wrap it up. I'll let you know for sure.

A couple of more weekends and a dyno session and It'll be ready to get back on the track. I just looked back at my first post in this thread and had no Idea this had been going on for over 4 years. Time flies! Thanks guys.

A little progress.

17's on my stock bodied Z.

Panasport c8?

Sounds like mine were similar to yours. The interference was less than a half an inch. I got the bolts started and pulled it all together and deformed the metal end cap. It has been fine. If you use RTV to put it together (which I believe would work fine) I would also use the spring.

I can't imagine the looks a Miata with an ls2 and open headers got. Congrats on the first drive.

These work well if you have a cage. http://www.tellico4x4.com/product_info.php/products_id/39600

I used the MSD rails. Very similar to the summit rails. It looks neater than the stock set up and made plumbing easier. I could not find any fittings like those in your link at the time. I plumbed mine like example A.

Keep it where it is, just flip the brackets. It will still work just fine. It will just keep some road debris from ripping your pump off the car.

Use what you got. Just flip pump brackets up so the pump does not hang below the cell. Keep the camero tank. You can always upgrade later if you need another project.

As far as expansion for power, line size will not be the problem. Even with -6 line, it will flow more at the 60 or so lbs of pressure the lsx engines need than you will ever use. I think the need of a surge tank with the cell vs the stock tank and pump set up is what would make the biggest difference for me. Either will work fine. IT's just, how much do you want to change at this point? You will want a surge tank if you stick with the cell. The first time the car dies in a corner, you will hate it.

I forgot you had the whole car there. The camero tank would give you the advantage of an intank pump.

The existing fuel cell. Keep it and run a single exhaust. Also as mentioned, a surge tank would be a great idea and not much trouble to add.

Keep the tank where it is. Run dual 2.5 inch into a single 3 inch and exit at the stock location. Less weight than the dual set up, simple,and less expense . Get the billet rails and run the braided line. I would use braided SS line with the teflon liner. -6 will be plenty for the feed and return.

My experience with lemons is that it is all about car prep. Also as John said a $500 Z won't get you very far.

I've done it but don't remember. You can put them together without the boots and check. I did have to do that because I did the same thing you just did.

Very nice. Post some pics also when you get it back together.

Thanks for the follow up and congrats. That is one sick ride. ENJOY!

Just a follow up here. My heads are casting 243 with a CNC port job. I was trying to use the stock manifold gaskets that came with my 2002 F body ls1. The gasket blocked part of the exhaust ports. On recommendation from Jeff Creach at Carolina Auto Masters I ordered GM part number 12612944. It seems GM redesigned these gaskets to accommodate the larger port sizes. This is now the only manifold gasket GM makes for the LS1 motors. If fits perfectly with no restrictions of the exhaust ports.

I have 240's
