Re: what do you think so far ls6

OK I have to ask, wha is with the wheel studs in the shifter?



Also with this much clearance you can consider running a different pan, maybe one with more baffling in it,

The rest of the pictures with nothing in the car but the engine are really cool looking

Re: what do you think so far ls6

i've seen those hoses in stock at my local advance - not sure the application, but they've got that 90 degree bend at one end and like 3-4 feet of straight hose from there. been keeping an eye on em for when i do my heater core hoses. need something simple and uncluttered, think you're route looks the best so far without having to hack and get adapters

Re: what do you think so far ls6

those hoses aren't application specific btw, they're just a universal type with a 90* end on one end and are available at most any parts store

What he said, and wow...that is so much cleaner! I think I need to change my set up a bit. I have those 90* jobbers, but I have the short side attached to the heater core. And with the FRC, it hides all that mess. Good stuff!
