The LS 7 was fired up, sweet rumble! Frt. clip is back on,brakes bled,fluids checked,dry-sump is looking good. Did a quickie paint job on the dash to cover the red, and to mount the CD/nav system. It just clashed too much with the shade of blue on the cowl and firewall.I'll pull the glass to put the cage in then do the final coats on the dash. Ready for a cruise, hope this fly by wire stuff is good to go?

Looks good! You might not like that little booster though. We tried one of those on my mom's '57 BelAir, and it was nearly useless. Ok, maybe not that bad, but it sure didn't seem to do its job very well. We went with one of the double diaphragm units.

Hey, I was just looking at the dash again (love the carbon fiber) and saw that you had the stock speedometer refinished to match the gauges you added. Way cool!

Wheels are Intro Emotions, 19x8.5 frt, 19x11 bk Tires are Pirelli P-Zero Asymetricos 245 45 19 and 275 40 19 OEM BWW 7 series sport package tires.I don't have the back spacing in front of me but Dave at Intro has all in his head for the 62 and such Chevys....

GM ECM supplied & re flashed by Street & Performance with their harness. I had inquired about some others but this is right off the OEM set up and can use the Helms to troubleshoot & build.I plan on driving the p..... out of it . If I run into trouble onthe road parts are at any GM dealer or local parts house. I put 20000 plus on my LS-6 powered rat rod last year......drive'm they can rebuild'em when I gone.

Great concept. We are using hydroboost a lot now at our shop. Keeps the brakes happy and the engine happy. Give us some ideas on the dry sump mounting and fab necessary. I am dying to put an LS7 in something!
