Good choice on the ls...you'll never build anything else...except maybe a monster BBC. They just sound too good.

Really nice and tidy power steering lines. Custom? Part numbers? I really like the frame rail straps, nice work!

[brian1971]

Thanks Boynton and uxdesigner.
The power steering lines are factory with a swedgelok adapter to hose and a 6an 90 on end.Then on Corvette power steering pump i just used a adapter to 6an fitting.The only thing with this setup is you have to use bigger power steering pulley that came on the 97-98 models not the open face one that came on later c5 and c6's or the 6an adapter on pump would hit pulley.

Installed the Holley R4 compressor brackets over the weekend.Ended up using a 6pk970 belt.

Installed this battery box a few months ago.I mounted it on passenger frame rail in front of rear tire.It's a auxiliary box from early 2000's Ford E350 diesel.Had it powder coated black.Used a Odyssey battery.Was hard to get a real good pic with truck on ground.

[brian1971]

Went buy the local Aeroquip store yesterday picked up some hydraulic crimp 3/8 jic 6an fittings and Eaton Aeroquip matchmate hose.It's a little overkill but won't have to worry about them again.I will go back Monday and have them crimp the ends on.

Do you have any more pictures of the Civic weather stripping ?

How do they fit at the bottom ?
