Looks good... You might want to take that AC line down to your local hose or AC parts shop and get them to lengthen it to 2 feet in length and put different angle bends on either end so that it lays to the other side (over motor) Just did this to mine and it only ran me $50.00

Looks good Mark, I like how you got the IC hidden. I would kinda like mine behind the grille. You talk with Gomer yet about going to the dyno? I need to get mine over there and do some adjusting...and blow the soot out of it

Man that is just incredible looking. I cant believe you got it done so quickly!!! So all you did was switch to the complete car intake and fuel rails to what year F body?? Other than cutting the water neck... anything else needed? It does look alot better!

I appreciate the kudos guys. It has been running for a couple of weeks now. I had 2 weeks off work in which I set the engine in and did all the fab work. Spent a few days waiting on parts. The LS1 intake swap and T56 mods took several days themselves. I had to have the driveshaft shortened 2-3/4" and the crossmemeber required no modifications at all. As for the intake swap I bought the idler bracket from Speartec and copied thier water pump mods. I'd recommend using a car water pump and spacing the pulley out to get it to work rather than the water neck mods on the truck water pump like I did.
The returnless fuel system and the voltage booster is going to be a MFer to tune. I may do a returnless set-up before I go any further. The voltage booster comes in @5psi and if you are not @ wot when there then it looks like a diesel behind me and just floods it. My PE graph looks like a damn Tsunami wave when trying to compensate for the added fuel when you hit 5psi boost
