The stainless downpipe sitting next to the bumper is RJC's 3" with internal WG.

I had a local chassis shop weld on the O2 bung for me.

For some pics of the pipe see this thread:

Love those rims! Been wanting to see them on a T!

 

[Red C5]

Love the attention to detail you guys are doing. Looking great.

They're GN1's with the $750 CNC port option. I got the $400 CNC port option for the Champion intake as well.

Yeah, I love the new rims too. The 255/60's fit very nicely. The tire gained an inch in width and the tread has full contact with the pavement now. I'm surprised more folks aren't running 15x9's.

The next two months are very busy months, so it might be early January before this thing is fired up. We'll see. I have another money pit that is taking up my time as well...97 vette with some problems at the moment. So many modz, so little time.

What did you decide to do with the lines from the frame to rails?

The feed line is all -6 AN braided line and fittings. The return line will be AN fittings as well, except for where it attaches to the frame. Since there is no AN-to-saginaw adapter for that, I may just try using double hose clamps. It is a very low pressure line so it's probably safe. If that doesn't work i will cut off the saginaw end and use a compression type fitting, similar to the way oil pressure fittings are.

Are you gonna mount the 1-pc. crank & sprocket under driver or passenger? LOL!

Actually, I upgraded it to a 3-pc unit and it'll go on the passenger side. That way folks can pedal to make up for their fat @sses slowing me down. LOL

Ok, more product arrived today. I'll be picking up the transmission tomorrow from the freight terminal. Will post pics of it later this week.

Denny's driveshaft. 1350 series U-joints with billet yoke:



Kenne-Bell boost-a-pump. I will post pics of the install when the time comes. Might drop in new engine/trans this weekend.

Found some time to begin the install:

More progress today. Next are the fuel supply and return lines. Just ordered a boat-load of fittings from Summit. Supply will be -6 AN, and return -4. I'll post pics when able. Very busy so it may be a week or more. Happy holidays to all.

 

[TR Custom Parts]

Nice looking oil filter setup. :smile: Why so small with the fuel line sizes? Would think -8 feed and -6 return might be better?

 

[GetOwnedVette]

Very nice! Looks like it is coming alone perfectly Cant wait for a vid!

 

[Smokin-6]

Wow, that looks awesome, nice job!

Latest pic of engine.


Custom fuel supply line. -6AN Earl's. Waiting for a backordered fitting to complete the return line.




Trans-cooler lines are -6AN as well.

Thanks for the positive comments guys. It's been a long journey. Hopefully i can fire it up this week. Here is the latest car pic. Notice the laptop stand. hehe.

I have 1 question and 1 piece of advise...first the question...
Any pics of what you did to have that nice straight shot for your rod going to your wastegate off your 6765...mine is super angled and all outta whack

And keep a close eye on your wiper transmission in relation to your plugwires on the coil pack

I have PLENTY of room for wipers now!!!
