The never ending K5 Build LS Swap

[72K5CSTDarkOlive]

I got the VA installed. I had to deviate from the instructions because I didn't want to run bolts and drill holes through my freshly painted firewall. I searched the board and online as well because I know people have done it on here but I couldn't find any detailed pics of how guys actually mounted the VA system without going into the firewall like the instructions. So I had to get a little creative with it and this is what I came up with.

I went to home depot and got a few 90 degree brackets. I used two of them for the two screws up top that and one down on the bottom. The two brackets up top are screwed into the underside of the cowl and then the bolts go through a hole I made in the brackets and that screws into the backside of the VA bracket. For the bottom part of the VA bracket, I made a 45 degree bend in the bracket I used for this part and drilled a hole just below the slope of the firewall.

Here are some pics. I also had hoses made locally since I needed custom hoses for the bulkhead fittings.
