97stanger Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Had a thread going in my past life, so I'll bring it over to here. Just waiting to get the car back from the body shop from getting scott rod panels welded in and all other holes smoothed, engine bay painted, and some more paint work done on the hood and she's ready to drop in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan96GT Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Running AN braided lines from your valve covers to a catch can? Thats my plan as well. What pieces did you use to attach the AN fitting to the valve cover? Looks like you did something different on each side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On TF valve covers, the driver side already comes threaded so you just simply need your fitting. Passenger side is not threaded and I didn't want to weld over top of brand new powder coated valve covers, so I bought a push/lock in AN fitting, so the fittings themselves are different, but both are 10an feeding to the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97stanger Posted June 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Well, at least there is progress being made. Doesn't look the prettiest but should have a ton more progress done if not completely done by the end of the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97stanger Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Trying to figure out a way to run the breather tank straight back behind the manifold, would be nice to not have lines from the valve covers all over the place. Seems like I should definitely have room will just need to figure out some sort of bracket to make for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way no tank in the bay and it will keep the lines a bit cleaner if ran correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fender wells are jam packed after relocating all my computer/harness junk inside them along with trans cooler. And don't really like lines running and crossing over from the valve covers so I think this would be the cleanest way to set it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97stanger Posted July 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Sorry guys don't know what that's about. I just went onto Photobucket and it looks like you have to upgrade the account for a small charge of $400 to unlock the prior pictures. I should be good to post going forward but I guess any precious pictures are gone into the intrawebz. no update since I got the car back. Had to travel for work and won't get home until Friday. Hoping maybe Sunday I can drop the motor in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97stanger Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Well, was a bad day yesterday but could have been worse. To make a long story short, I borrowed a cherry picker from a buddy to use. Was rocking and rolling, got engine on the picker and for whatever reason the weight of the engine literally started to bend and tear the bottom leg to the reacher arm apart. Could have easily dropped the motor if it weren't for the 2 bolts holding on to dear life. Luckily, I was able to swing the motor back on the stand and get 1 bolt to hold it in. Had to run to Harbor Freight just to quick buy another picker to get a new chain on it, which was a success. Thank god I saved the motor, could have easily fell on the oil pan. So go it all setup on the new picker and went to drop it in and its about 2' too short lol. So put the motor back on the stand and called it a day. Returned the new stand I bought and think I found another one a neighbor has to use maybe for next weekend or the weekend after I'll give it another shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators LWARRIOR1016 Posted July 18, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Well that really blows. You should have had the body shop leave the front bumper off so you had room to work, or did you and it was still too short? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD H2S Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Lucky lesson, I was putting the clutch on the motor while up on the hoist and thought if one bolt fails this thing will take out my knee before I can blink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And its even more of a smack on the forehead because I just got a Donathen tubular support today so the front bumper has to come right back off anyway lol. If I can't find a local one to borrow that will work this time around I did find one that Harbor freight sells as their 2 ton that should do the trick if need be. So maybe this weekend I'll give it another go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. It's one of those things you kind of just take for granted it will all go as planned but all it takes is a failure on a single weld or bolt and you could really ruin $10k and a lot of time invested pretty darn quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
