Did you make sure the bellhousing is square to the engine and on center?:rock:

Power steering pulley
 
So I have the OEM corvette accessories and the pulley on the power steering is very close what smaller pulley are you guys using?

Ahhh- I was wondering where you were going with the steering column.

Nice work- really great combination of parts. Looks like it'll be a beast!!!

Curious as what you are going to run for the intake?

Thanks and as far as the intake I have not decided yet but I would like to get it out in front to some cool air but we will see.

Doesn't look like your going with power brakes. I don't see a brake booster? What's your thoughts on brakes?

well the car orig had power brakes but for what I’m going to do with this car everyone recommended manual brakes as they are more consistent I guess and you don’t have to worry about making vacuum for the booster.

ygto1 01-13-2020 10:18 PM

What are your intentions with the car? If your going to put it on a road race track I would recommend power brakes. Looks like you have a Baer system? There is nothing like power brakes on a track car with a big brake kit! Just a thought. Also have you considered a FAST 102 mm intake with Nick Williams throttle body? Love the Detroit Speed set up!!

Just some food for thought-

Years back when I was looking at doing an LS swap (went in a totally different direction!!!) I was looking at turning around the intake and drawing air from the cowl.
Just a little reworking required (wires/oil pressure sensor) on the motor.

On the car- redo the wiper set up and it's a straight shot.

The motor is mounted sideways- but the intake is flipped around-

I plant to autocross the car some and maybe a little road racing but for right now I plan on running a factory intake but I would like to upgrade to a fabricated intake at some point
