mine go from the stock hard lines, under the brake booster, behind the drivers head to the fuel rails

 

Mine its ugly but its still being worked on

 

Same here:

 

One day ill be one of these people that will be able to show off a hsr setup thumbs up to all u guys :-)

 

IROCThe5.7L - That under hood picture of your car looks amazing! Wow.

 

Not a Third Gen but a 73

 

Same as everyone else lol. Cut right at the bottom of the firewall and ran braided from there.

 

IROC,

I see you are using the stock throttle bracket and linkage. How is the drivability with the cables being slightly offset? Do I see some sort of spacer in there to to better align it? Also I notices you retained the stock radiator hose and fashioned an adapter to go from 1-1/4" to 1-1/2". How was that achieved?

I figured why try to reinvent the wheel when you already have. Thanks for the pics.

 

It drives just fine. I just put some washers behind the bolts to make it as straight as possible.

The radiator hose I used was Advance Auto Parts P/N E71029. It has 1 1/2" water neck ID and 1 1/4" radiator ID. I had to a do a little cutting, and it didn't look like it was going to work. But it ended up working great. Here's a thread on it: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/alte...wap-upper.html

 

I have the old style v-belts and I'm out in my garage right now trying to mock up power steering and a/c comp. I noticed the TPI intake had a specialized bracket that wont fit for new intake. What are you guys doing about that mount. Has anyone done a stealth swap in an older 3rd gen and retained the stock a/c compressor?

 

For my 86 I bought a march bracket for my alternator, didn't keep the a/c so I can't help you there. The ps bolts to the heads/wp/block I used washers the same thickness as the a/c brackets to maintain the proper spacing.

I did the same as IROCthe5.7 using washers behind the bracket. For the hose you can just use a waterneck from a TBI f-body and you get to retain 1 1/4" to 1 1/4".

 

 

 

Here's mine just before I finished it, its a bit cluttered.

 

I hate my car its costing my Job, my fam, my money, respect on TGO. My HSR on 113 heads it won't seal for ****, its sucking air from some where and won't idle.

 

What gaskets are you using? Mine sealed up to dart heads good. I used felpro 1205's. I know they did not fit perfect and needed to clear up a little in the ports, but it works great. Did you seal up properly the port on the bottom of the plenum? I could see that being an issue and easily forgotten about.

 

with mine, i had to stack 2 1205 gaskets on top of eachother (glue them together). it needed extra thick gaskets to reach. mine works flawlessly after that. no leaks, no nothing. so buy to sets, then buy 3M yellow glue and mate the gaskets together and put it back to together.

 

I have been all of that still no luck

 

What did you use to adapt them to braided lines? I know they make hard tube to AN adapters but I only can find them in the 3/8" to -6 for the feed line and nothing for the smaller return line.

 

Here's the smaller one for the return

Here is mine. I have a question though. Has anyone found the "sweet spot" for fuel economy and then the other sweet spot for all out racing??

 

Sold mine next swap LQ4 t56 swap.

 

Heres mine so far...

 

Looks nice robby, how come you didn't cut the fuel lines and run them up the firewall though?

 

 

enlighten us, how did u do that

 

ROSWELL. :-)

Led strips under the fuel rails and TB. Doesn't show well in the pic, but the blue light makes the orange rings on the Viper injectors glow. My kids call it "Alien Tech". LOL.

 

A bit off topic. What kind of valve covers do you have on there? I need some. PM me please!!!

 

NICE
