KILL........EEEERRRRRR !!!!!!

Not bad for a 5th gen bullet Nathan, you out did yourself (hell, everyone!).

Incredible detail. Might be looking for anodizers this winter. Already going to change things

You probably don't care about AC plumbing bling now do ya....?

Nate....I may have missed where you said what headers you are going with. I know you are in Cali. Shorties or LTs?

Doc · 10-07-2012, 08:09 PM

THAT is flat out beautamonious. By the time you get this all done it should be in an automotive museum/gallery. Insure the crud out of this thing because it's going to be worth it!

Looks amazing... That would be a living room decoration!!

Myself and a few club folks re-routed my hoses and flipped the fuel rail on my car... Does make it look a lot better.

Good God Nathan

Been following this and my engine shot at the beginning of this thread is absolutely pale in comparison.

Since your in Cali you've got to show this at SEMA next year.

It will blow some minds for sure!

Putting the PS pulley on was a little bit of a workout.

These next two pics are for Joe AKA 572HP. Let me know if this is how you wanted me to do it. The red circles mark all the areas I removed the paint and powder coating off the alternator and bracket.

Attachment 430114

I also polished the nut for the alternator pulley. Yes........ I know, nobody will ever see it but that's just me, LOL

Now without further adieu .........

I really liked the Lokar dips stick and how it cleans out that area! I did have to drill out the hole on bracket that mounts to the block bigger because the ARP bolt wouldn't go through.

I mock up the serpentine belt with the factory six ribs barbecue the eight rid belt I was told to buy was to long. I hope Jeggs takes it back......... I bought it 6 months ago, LOL.

Attachment 430125

Here are my Prothane motor mounts. Supposedly they ride a little softer for the street than the Phaft.

Attachment 430126

Well, a couple things......

I am going to redesign the water vapor line since I'm not going to run it the radiator any more. I'm actually going to weld a -3 AN fitting the the upper radiator hose and attach it there.

Also, have to order the Scott's wires and the bracket to mount the coils to the back of the heads.

I will update hopefully tomorrow on the intake because..... I'm not feeling it. Little beat, so I will pick up where I left off today.

I've decided not to run a remote power steering reservoir tank. So I will be pulling off the PS pump and sending it back to two brass AN fitting for the pick up lines. I already have a aluminum tank and will have it powder texture black with a black anodize cap. It will look very "mechanical".

So stay tuned, there's much more to come...

In the meantime, I want to give thanks to everybody that have been following along for the past ten months. I really appreciate all the nice words and encouragement! I'm happy that everyone was able to enjoy this with me, and perhaps even picked up something of value for your own project.

Nathan

Wow! That looks so amazing. Haven't stopped by lately but dang!

calbert1999 · 10-08-2012, 03:33 PM

Man, still can't wait to see the final results. Some serious work going into this engine compartment.

ChiTownSS · 10-09-2012, 01:04 PM

I havent cleaned up the wires but here is how mine is coming along. Hope you like.

cterry · 10-09-2012, 01:10 PM

Congrats on making the front page. Engine is looking great. I'm starting slowly. Just put on a black ported Throttle body, but sending the catch can back since it got scratched in shipping.

Cali_Camaro_SS · 10-09-2012, 01:37 PM

Dude WTF! that is just insanely beautiful. Really nice

So where is the list to sign for mine?
