the fuel pump from an 85, whats it capable of handling? Will I need to replace the entire fuel system? Get an inline fuel pump?

I think it will work fine as is.
 
I have some pictures, but I don't know how to get them from my computer to here.? I tried cut and paste, (all I know how to do) and that didn't work
 
When you post a replay at the bottom you'll see an "attach file" in bold letters.To the right of that there is a "Browse" button.

Click on it and then a screen will open up and you have to search for the file you want posted. Once you pick it click on "open" and it will upload it to the server.

I tried that and its not letting me do it. Says the picture is too big. I tried to make the picture smaller but it still wouldn't work.

That could be directed at me as well!

Does your Internet Service Provider give you any webspace? If they do, you can upload images onto your webspace and post the URL links here so we can look at your pics.
 
Do you have microsoft power point or some photo editing software?

You can usually crop off what you don't need (MPP) or give the progarm (photo editing) constraints and it will cut it down for you.

If you want email me (franperez@utep.edu) the pics and I will fix them up for you and post them

If that link does not work, just look up at the blue list of words and click on Gallery to find the upload spot.
 
Pictures

I uploaded 2 pictures to the member gallery, but they are really small and crappy. I'll take some more pic's and try to do a better job this time. Thanks 69MyWay.

P.S. You could originally see much more in the pic's, but I cropped them down trying to get them to fit in the upload file. Sorry
 
Yup, you are doing it perfect now. Wow, the exterior pic of the cars shows all the sanding and body work you still have to do. You got that engine cleaned out of there too.

Now, if you want to really be trick. Since your photos now have a home on the web, go to the pic of your choice, right click with the mouse so that you get the pop up, then select "Properties" At that point you will see about mid way down on the Properties pop up box the URL for the image.

Highlight and copy the URL.

Come back to your post and click on IMG above the text box. Now paste the URL in that spot.

When you post the thread, the image will just float right there in your post.

Be mindful of the size of the pic. Go back and remove or edit the size if it pops up so big that it causes the reader to have to scroll right and left to see it.

I am looking forward to seeing more.
 
Slo Vette,


There is somebody in texas who put a LS1 into a '84 vette and the work looked very nice.

Good luck and take lots of pictures
 
Motor arrived today!!! Im thinking of putting a stroker kit without the overboar. Like a 382 Lunati rotating assembly with stock sized JE forged pistons. A holley aluminum intake manifold and a directport nitrous system. Would this work?
 
A T-56 from a 93-96 will bolt upto an LS-1 right??
 
Transmission arrived yesterday, stock drive shaft fits in the tailsection perfectly. The transmission is about 1.5 inches too far forward, but everything else looks good. I had to cut out a section of the tunnell bridge so it would fit. The area where the shift linkage from the 4+3 connected had to be removed.
Tremec makes a tail shaft housing unit that is about 2 inches shorter I think.
 
Weir Hot Rod Products makes a belhousing that will allow me to bolt this up. Red Roberts at Mcleod is VERY HELPFULL!!! Hooking me up with an extended pilot bushing and hyd throw out bearing. Sweet thanks.
