rwwisnesky Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 The LS_1 is in and running in my 1978 280Z. I received the JTR (Stealth) radiator today and have it mounted in the Z. Brackets provided worked well and everything fit as hoped. NOW the hard part. Does anyone have any information on what hoses to use. I have the T and reducer that was provided by JTR, but no clue on where to begin with the hoses. Any information would helpful !!!! Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS1 Z Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 The lower hose is the stock camaro hose. The upper, I can't remember. I believe I posted the part numbers a while ago. Maybe search my posts or pm Mike Knell. I'm sure he knows. Joey p.s. Looks great!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinhZXT Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Is that the PCM sitting on the fender well? It will be too for the PCM to be mounted there and expose to the heat from the exhaust manifold. I hope you are not mounting the PCM there permanent. Other than that verything looks great. Sorry I couldn't provide the PN for the hoses. I bought several hoses from the parts store and pieced it together and returned the unused hoses. for my swap GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 From my swap notes, pulled off old posts here. This cross references the Summit Racing part numbers and I believe Goodyear numbers. Summit part # GTR-61099 (upper rad hose) Summit part # GTR- 61609 (lower rad hose) “I used the stock 98 LS1 Z28 bottom hose and a Gates 22358†61099 - (235) lower 61609 - (913) upper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwwisnesky Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 Thanks to everyone, I think I have enough info to short it out now !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinsamberg Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 You must be a neat freak. That engine compartment couldnt be any cleaner. Were you diagnosed with OCD. Just kidding, your car looks awesome. If you send me a wire template of what your Rad hoses need to look like i can make them for you in aluminum. call me 925-212-5542 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwwisnesky Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Thanks for the comments and the hose offer, but I have worked thru it. now just need the fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwwisnesky Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 That is the PCM sitting on the fender well. It was the only space I could find. I hope it is OK. I thought about running a tube thru the front and pull air in to help cool it. If necessary, even a small blower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What year is the motor? The stock Delphi ECM is normally mounted in the engine bay - it can handle the heat. You will obviously need to protect those wires though.

rwwisnesky Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 The engine is from a 2000 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with 24,000 miles on it. I mounted the PCM by brilling thru the aluminum case and bolting directly into the fender well. I also powder coated it. That may make it look thinner. I hope it does not melt !!!!

VinhZXT Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 It will help clean up your engine bay even more if you run the harness thru the fire wall and keep the PCM inside the car IMO. The wires to your PCM will melt if you don't wrap them with some type of insulations if you leave it like that. Another thing is you can flip the fuel rail and eliminate the hoses running accross the fire wall too. GL. V. PS. here is a picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
