Your engine compartment looks a bit different than mine. Lots of little stuff are different. Whats on your wiper module?

its the stock super old azz early thirdgen style.

I really like the look of your 4th gen master cyl.

4th gen is an easy swap. You have to redo the rear coupler. Might as well do an adjustable prop valve while your at it. Thats also where I put my power steering resevoir!

nice! I already have an adjustable rear prop valve from the disc swap i did. i just like the smaller looking reservoir. And i've got to say the engine bay looks pretty nice. not a lot of wires and random crap everywhere. Now it just needs a supercharger!

I'm pretty happy with how clean i was able to make the LT1 swap look in the end. Most LT1 swaps i've seen look pretty hacked up.

PLEASE.... move your air filter......

I agree. I did mine on the cheap with marine exhause hose and sewer pipe. Ghetto! But it was functional. I will say this from my experience with maf run deisels, keep as straight a path as possible leading up to the maf and protect the maf from rattling against things. For our application, we needed nearly 2 feet of straight pipe before the maf to help the air straighten out.

Thats a very clean LT1 swap. But I agree, gotta move the filter.

i plan on it. I've been more worried about getting the thing running right and working the bugs out. but now that this thing runs like a champ, i plan on fixing that soon.

Help me out here, what is jackpot? Are those turbo headers? V8 swap headers for the bimmer?

They appear to have v-band flanges, so I am thinking turbo.

aaron_sK · Posted: Sat Nov 26, 2011 8:27 am Post subject:

They're forward facing LQ/LS headers, Jake. That oughta tell you all you need to know. Wink

Ian who made that set? I don't recognize the design or the 'SP' tag on the pass. side.

Looks like they're from a company called "Spoolin' Performance". I picked them up used with supposedly under a thousand miles.

Never trust any company with an apostrophe in their name. Razz

down and forward?!? Are you going to have to run an oil sump, or is there still a chance to gravity drain the oil straight to the oil-pan?

83Z28BlackBetty · Posted: Sat Nov 26, 2011 8:45 pm Post subject:

nice! I figured thats what they were, since i thought you already had long tubes for the 5.3.

When do the rest of the parts arrive? and are you planning on running 1 or 2 hamsters?
