I was hoping to be further along than this, but other responsibilities have had priority. Found a better lower radiator hose. Made some progress on the mount for the fuel pump and laser sending unit. Working on relocating the upper radiator hose mount and blocking off the old one…
I’m still working on mine, I’d say it would be smoother if I had buckets of money.
All that aside, its interesting to me the guys that have done these in the 998s, seems like they are able to get the engine a bit more forward, which is a huge plus if using a mechanical fan like I am. Despite...
Well engine sits back a little further than I thought. I’ll be making some shroud extensions, I can cheat the radiator back a bit if I drill a new hole for the lower mount. Not sure if I will do that though. Lower radiator hose came out good. I’ll be modifying the upper radiator hose location too.
Working on some of the smaller things, knocked out the heater hoses and throttle cable today. I reused the throttle cable shield/hose from the Humvee but ran a new cable through it.
Looking at the Hydroboost setup I think the exposed fitting is pressure to pump and the one with the plug over...
Came up with this for an air intake setup… also working on some other details right now that I hope work out well, but the parts have been delayed due to all the bad weather across the country. The Holley Terminator uses a MAT sensor so I had to put a npt bung on the tube. Came out ok for scrap...
thanks for the advice! I used the Dayco hose website to dig up some options for hoses and ordered a rotating neck for the lower hose. Hopefully I’ll be able to make something clean and then move on to figuring out the upper. Trying to keep the mechanical fan makes it a little more challenging.
Thanks Anvil… can I just say that I appreciate all your knowledge you pass along. Also, I can’t believe that nobody has made a header specifically for LS in Humvee. Im sure the market is small but to me that along with a set of radiator hoses would really make the whole thing a cake walk. I...
Factory LS exhaust manifolds look like the passenger side is going to cause issues, since the passenger side dumps down and back. On the 6.5 Detroit the passenger side goes straight back. Im curious what others have used, seems like the only thing that comes close to mimicking the passenger side...
Ok so anyone following along -is there a proper distance I can measure to ensure the torque converter is seated all the way? I’m a Torqe converter rookie here. I was going to measure the factory converter but I believe it must have slipped forward some when I removed the engine. Of course I...
Oh, forgot to add you’ve gotta completely remove the rear hitch assembly. Well I guess you could leave it, but if you plan on using a rear air lift bumper it needs to be removed.
Couple steps forward today and a few back…
went to install the body lift, I bought a 2” puck kit from Mikellis, and thought I’d be content with that. Well then I saw that some manufacturers make a complete replacement frame mount style body lift and I liked that a lot more, well everything...
Ok, getting ready for the body lift and wanted to see what a 42” would look like beforehand and there is plenty of room! I’ll probably have to trim the exhaust on driver side. However it looks like I’ve got a little bit of caster to adjust. I’ve got some shims on the upper control arm mount...
