havent posted in a few on the project, the powdercoating and anodizing are taking every waking moment.
here are some highlights:
new fuel system: sumped tank,A1000 pump, -8an lines/fittings/rails

chromed the NOS bottle and bought a fender roller to clear the 315's:

finished the long tubes for the 5.4(ceramic coating hides my ugly welds...):

got a pair of 57mm(.63ar) hairdriers for the build:

going to install a DIS-4 plus when it's tuned:

Why did you have to roll the fenders to clear 315s?

myillwillinc · 06-10-2008, 12:00 PM

the 275's hit the lip when i hit bumps so i went ahead and got the fender roller.

needed a test car to use anyway....

What did you do to the LTs to make them fit the 5.4?

rtusnake · 06-10-2008, 04:24 PM

Did you weld the sump on yourself? If so where did you get it?

Also is that bottle actually chromed or a chrome powdercoat? Looks good dude...

Chrome powedercoat. He did my exhaust for me and it turned out awesome

it took alot of beating my head under the car, plus trial and error to make them work.
i'm working with a guy in cali to have sets of LT 5.4 headers to be made.
