DaleMX Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Well I’m about ready to fire it up. All I have left to do is: Block off the heater connections on the water pump (broken heater core in car). Add oil to the engine. Fill the cooling system with Dex. Hook up the battery. Energize the fuel pump and adjust the pressure. Try to start the beast! Wish me luck!

Tim240z Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Is your fuel press. reg. bolted to the firewall? If so, you will likely have problems with the lack of flexibility between the engine and the regulator..... Looks great though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaleMX Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 Thanks guys! Tim the fuel regulator is mounted to the rear fuel rail on the engine and connected to the return line with earls super stock hose and is plenty flexible. That baby's gonna be loud!

Mikelly Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 YOu guys who have done these.... Question: How are you pre-oiling the motor before startup? I"m getting my LS1 for the Vette on Monday, so this weekend I'm wrenching the vette to pull the motor and this issue dawned on me...

DaleMX Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 Pull the fuse on the fuel pump and turn it over until you see pressure on the gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
