Sounds like a load to me...sounds like they're not interested in your work and wanted to just throw a valve in there that would work. Is there another shop you could take it to? I'd be concerned...

LuckyHenriksen · 01-23-2009, 09:01 PM

Ya I have a few contacts locally in the racing business so I will get some shop recommendations from them

cstm68 · 01-23-2009, 11:09 PM

what kind of electrical work has to be done for this swap?
nice work by the way

On a side note, does anybody know where to get a new valve and all the pieces for a L92 head?

Call Dan's cylinder heads. He should be able to find you something.
Ask for Dan and tell Him Dustin from aftermarket sent you.

LuckyHenriksen · 01-24-2009, 04:32 AM

As far as electrical work, you basically just need power to the MSD box.

LuckyHenriksen · 01-24-2009, 04:33 AM

Where is Dans Cylinder Heads located? Thanks for the recomend C10KID

It's all fun and games until red hot rivet heads go bouncing down your shirt. Grinding while laying on your back is no fun. Trying to make way for the fuel cell

texanidiot25 · 01-24-2009, 05:31 PM

Safety first:

Now you'll never have to worry about them rivets.

oldblue1968chevy · 01-24-2009, 08:07 PM

LOL

good one lol, good luck!

LuckyHenriksen · 01-24-2009, 08:15 PM

Haha nice one texan

LuckyHenriksen · 01-25-2009, 04:16 AM

I had to cut my brand new exhaust off so the fuel cell would fit

at least it was only the last few feet from the axle back. I needed 27 inches of room and the pipes were 20 inches apart =[ I don't think I will run it out the back again, cuz I don't like the way the tips look when they are far apart on the bumper. I will either dump it or run it out in front of the rear tires.

LuckyHenriksen · 01-25-2009, 09:19 PM

So I ground out the rivets and busted out that little weeny cross member to make way for the fuel cell, also had to hack my new exhaust, as previously stated. I now have turn downs right at the axle

I like the look of the pipes coming out somewhere so I will have to get some on there eventually. I spent most of the day with my buddy trying to install the fuel cell. The holes don't line up perfectly so I have to go back to the drawing board grrr....... measure 4 times and cut once. We rented a little welder from Home Depot and welded the six bolts to the frame so they wouldn't move while we tried to get the tank in position. It was an interesting day but in the end we still didn't get the tank installed.... Blahhhh

And my poor tail pipes

LuckyHenriksen · 01-25-2009, 09:21 PM

Still on the ground

And my favorite picture of the day

LuckyHenriksen · 01-25-2009, 09:25 PM

texanidiot25 · 01-25-2009, 09:32 PM

Exhaust dumps just like mine too...

Stop stealin' muh style!

LuckyHenriksen · 01-25-2009, 09:37 PM

Its a ways out from you, 105th sandy blvd. Park rose area.

LuckyHenriksen · 01-25-2009, 11:46 PM

Hmmm its kinda far. I will have to see what I can find locally. Should I just bring a valve to the machine shop its at? I found the right one on sdparts.com for 17 bucks

67ChevyRedneck · 01-26-2009, 12:14 AM

That sucks you had to cut off your pipes. I have a blazer tank and I ran mine right outside of the frame rails.

You just need to get creative with some bent pipe! I'd get it all welded back up before I put fuel in the tank

Gray Ghost · 01-26-2009, 12:20 AM

Sorry you had to hack 'em....I got lucky and mine fit fine with the blazer tank. Course I had the spare in there at that time so he had to go around it.
