JMortensen Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Is it necessary to have a pusher AND a puller fan on the LS swaps? Do they run that hot? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LS1 Z Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Saw the car last week. Looking good! I talked to Drive Line services today. T-56 yokes and Q45 flanges are ordered! Only problem is they are out of aluminum. They have been waiting for a shipment for 2 weeks. I'll let Mike know! JOEY P.S. Congrats on the new father and uncle!!!!

SSflyer Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Beautiful! Love the color. In the first picture it looks like your proportioning valve is fairly close to the header. Do you anticipate any heat problems with the valve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

that240guy Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 are you going to stick with the throttle by wire and rig up a pedal for that or are you going to change the throttle body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULISES Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 are you going to stick with the throttle by wire and rig up a pedal for that or are you going to change the throttle body?

Guest speedmon Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Your project looks great! What kind of headers are those? In the pictures there looks to be a "precision" clearance there on the LH side by the steering rod. ?Do you know how much it weighs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This are JTR headers,I can't answer the other two questions,Maybe Mike from JTR can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSflyer Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 The engine looks so stinking clean, is it a crate motor or did you do that yourself? I sent your post to a buddy and the first comment was about how good the motor looked. We're both curious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS1 Z Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 SSFLYER, I can answer that question. The motor was a complete pull-out from a brand new GTO that flipped off a delivery truck. Found on E-bay for a price $$$$$. JOEY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest speedmon Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Thanks for the info on the headers.....JTR, looks like stainless, yes? What I meant on the wieght was for the whole car, not the headers. Do you know how much the car weighs? Have you done any chassis "stiffener" enahancements? Thanks for answering questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
