I've looked for something like this. I'm worried about weakening vacuum if I share multiple vacuum lines from one fitting.

I ended up making my own coil relocation kit. The only thing I had to buy is the firecore50 wires. I'll have $145 total invested.

I admire your dedication to this project. I don't have the technical skill, or patience, to do what you're doing.
I don't have the skill either lol. I'm just learning as I go. I appreciate it though.
Picked up some more much needed parts. I picked up the professional model Hp tuner so i can data log. A Mighty Mouse catch can. And a vacuum block.

Since the corvette has absolutely no room in the engine bay. I had to make room. So i made a bracket for the fuel pressure regulator and the catch can.

I also finished installing the fuel system and hiding the wires under the intake.

Ingenuity at its best, makes it work.
Looks like its coming along nice! Cant wait to see it out making passes. Gonna be nasty as hell!
I'm just ready for it to be finished
Polished up the radiator and fan cover. I also organized and zip tied all the wires i have hidden underneath the intake.

It looks amazing, congrats and enjoy!
Let us know how it goes.
Video!!!! I bet your anxious as hell! Good luck! Hope to see it out soon!
I dont get off until 1am. Am I a terrible neighbor for starting it at 2am lol? I'll close the exhaust and keep the garage door close just to be nice lol.
Im right there with ya. I get off around midnight. My neighbors are pretty cool and haven't bitched yet!
For those who don't know. I ended up primming the motor. Once the oil pressure rised oil started running from the back of the block. So i spent all last weekend taking everything back out of the car. Inspected everything. I noticed the rear main seal wasn't completely round. It was so small of a difference its nearly impossible to see. I believe its enough to let oil get through. Even though its a brand new seal. I ordered another one and I'll be putting it together this weekend.
Wow... That sucks! It don't look very easy to tear apart as it is. I feel for ya!
That's strange, did you have a hard time installing it?
Ended up making a alignment tool for the rear main seal. Ended up putting everything back together. Primmed the motor and it started leaking again. After inspecting and inspecting and inspecteing. We found out that after they machined the block. The bolts were only snugging the rear plate. The bolts were bottoming out and snugging the plate that we thought it was tight. Thus allowing oil to escape once oil pressure was reached. So we're gringing all 12 bolts and re-installing everything. Im almost positive that's the only issuse. Fingers crossed

I think I would be giving the engine builder a call, in a hurry...
These are the same bolts that was on it. They don't require much torque and still looked perfect. I decided to reuse them. Oh well, i now know what the problem is and should be fixed soon. When everything is custom I expect problems like this. I don't know anyone else with this setup so im learning as i go.
Atleast you found it now instead of later.
She's fixed! I grinded all bolts to size and installed the rear main seal, back plate and flywheel. Primmed the motor and no leak! Just have to put the rearend, trans, and torque tube in. That'll wait for the weekend.
Good deal... :bigthumb:bigthumb:bigthumb
Fing cars!

That sounds badass
Thanks guys
Just a little update on the car. The car won't come out of reduced power mode. Its throwing a few codes on my scanner and like 50 codes on my hptuner. I was going to have a shop look at it but they're all backed up for 5 weeks. By that time it'll be too cold to enjoy the car. So i decided to spend the rest of this nice weather with my 1 year old son instead of messing with the car. Like I've been doing all summer. I may change a few things but haven't decided yet. The other night while he was sleeping I hand polished my new throttle (I bought a new one since the throttle body was one of the codes). Im having a hard time getting into the tight places. I'll make some improvements.
Possibly future Modifications:
RPM Stage IV differential
Powerglide conversion
Switch to a F1x. Which is the biggest blower that'll fit a c6 (I have the second biggest)
Pro EFI

Reminder to self. If I ever get a vette, get a positive displacement blower.......
You'll be limited to about 650hp. Options are even slimmer for PD blowers.Quote:
