Project Lethal Induction

glad to hear things are still movin!

I thought long and hard about the whole fuel issue, considered building my own tank with the vaporworx pump and pickups, considered running a rock valley, or a modified stock tank with a surge pump. but after many hours of contemplating all the pros and cons, I finally made the decision to just fork up the cash and buy a Ricks/Vaporworx tank. I have to say after seeing this thing in person I am happy to say I fell I made the right decision. this is one of the nicest custom pieces I have ever laid my eyes on.

Well got to work on the car a little today, bent up and installed the two front hard airlines I am running down the frame rail to the trunk for the airbags. also started bending up the rear brake line and fuel line I am going to run down the drivers side since LS engines have the fuel inlet on the drivers side of the manifold.

My transmission showed up today, WooHooo!

Wow, just realized I haven't posted an update on here in forever. For those of you really interested in following the build. I
post regular updates on my blog http://www.chevellenv.com there a are lot more pictures and details on whats is currently going on
with the car.
A lot has happened in the past few months, so I will try and get everyone up to speed.

Engine ----
Spent some time getting faceplate's made up for the tall deck, still need to do some finish work and do a machine port
match, should be doing this in the next few weeks



Bought a complete 70 front clip for the Chevelle, made the decision I like the 70 model better, so I am going to convert it
over to a 70. Also picked up a number of pieces I still need, like a complete power window kit for half of what they
normally go for on ebay.





The car is now also been in the body shop for some much needed TLC. I pick it up tomorrow and bring it back to my shop for
a few months while i recover financially for the work I had done. Both rear quarters are now fixed and had a custom
firewall built along with a number of small fixes need. still need to have some more work done to her. but my wallets empty
now and need some time for it to re-fill





A few weeks ago I tested out a number of different colors for the car by shooting the hood off my old Nova and made a final
decision on the color.

And the winner is Chrysler Arabian Grey with DCU2060 Flat Clear....... The picture doesn't really do the color justice,

you'll just have to see it in person next year.

Well made some progress today now that I have the car back from the body shop for now. It needs to go back but I need some time to save up some more money to pay for the work still needed. but that gives me time to start fitting things up so today I slapped the heads on the block with the manifold and got the scribed for porting which I will take them over to my buddy's machine shop next week to throw them up on the mill and get the machine porting done. while I had the heads on the block I went ahead and bolted up my serpentine drive system which is gonna need some tweaking since its for a standard deck block. which I was quite surprised I only have to build 2 small pieces to offset a couple bolt holes. and while I was this far I went ahead and just threw on the valve covers and a few other pieces just to see it all sitting there....

And now for the LSX porn......

[ChevelleNV]

Well not a lot of progress has happened, bought a new car so it kind of tapped me financially. but I have not stopped working on the car. got the engine up on the engine stand and started figguring out some things. like where to mount my dry sump pump, and built the steam vent tubes. so here's a little eye candy for you all just need to finish up one small braided hose to connect the two sides together under the throttle body.

A little birdie said you were doing a 5th gen Camaro IRS in this?

A little birdie said you were doing a 5th gen Camaro IRS in this?

Yes, the little birdie is correct.... Getting ready to weld in the front mounts for the rear end tomorrow.. Been meaning to start a 2.0 thread since the car has had a total project change and I have been neglecting this thread. there is some more recent info on my blog @ http://chevellenv.com/

along with the IRS are a lot of other changes as well, cantilever coil overs, ZL1 Supercharger, ZL1 front and rear brakes, Chicane Mod.... just to name a few









here's a few images for you to drool on....

What was your stock rear track width? Close to the 64" WMS to WMS? We're doing one in my 73 Camaro It's mostly in.

Working on adjustable arms to pull in the track width a bit, would like to have a bit of dish on my rear wheels. 2" would stellar.

Bought all the DSE stuff for it, but no one makes an adjustable upper rear arm that I can find, anyway.

[ChevelleNV]

I don't remember off the top off my head what the stock track width was, but the IRS is stock width... I didn't change it
