Re: A '54 named Busty
then although I chased the threads in the holes, and wire wheeled the exhaust manifold bolts, and even used anti seize on them, one of the bolt heads broke off on me, darn it! and I wasn't even in the ultimate tightening phase yet - wth?
Note: this is very common so I didn't even have to make a deposit to the swear jar, I swear - ha ha Last edited by Gregski; 06-27-2020 at 09:39 PM. |

Re: A '54 named Busty
... and that still wasn't the worst of it!
both Hooker down pipes were clocked wrong for the second gen Camaro subframe leaving no room for the O2 sensors |

Re: A '54 named Busty
and then it was on to the intermediate pipes, here is the driver side done!
Notice I decided to keep things difficult and make the entire 6' stretch out of nothing but 6" or shorter pieces, ha ha (had to use what I had on the account of the virus and all) |

Re: A '54 named Busty
yeah, the trick is to keep your head down and not let them upsell you like last time, when they ask what it's for it's for a 350 small block with a TH350 that's it, cause if you start running your mouth and saying it's for an LS Swap and you want up to 500 horse at the rear wheels they will sell you a whole different brand new drive shaft, and fact is you won't be pulling that much power in your truck, at least not for a while

Re: A '54 named Busty
well time to do the fuel system, and unlike my 2001 LS Swap donor, this being a 2004 it does not have a return line, so I only needs to run one 3/8ths line from the 95 Blazer fuel tank to the fuel rail
nothing to it but to do it |

Re: A '54 named Busty
Curious if your doing a vette setup or a aftermarket one.

Re: A '54 named Busty
there are two types of returnless systems, the early had the FPR at the fliter so it was only returnless at the engiine, there was a return at the rail. in 2005?ish the returnless moved the filter and FPR to the tank pump, and added a fuel pressure sensor there so the PCM could modify pressure based on load. if that means you need some type of regulator, I have no idea, I havent swapped one, only worked on the two different systems as stock.

Re: A '54 named Busty
I'm certainly no one qualified to give advice here, but I believe you need the Corvette regulator ( 2 lines in and one line out) for this set up. Someone qualified please verify this because I will be doing this set up very soon.
