Welp, guess i'm sitting on my hands at this point, until the machine shop is done.

LS6 Intake cleaned, fuel rails scuffed and repainted, Siemens Deka 80lb/hr injectors installed.

Decided to try out the Walmart brand "Super Clean" spray bottle degreaser, this has to be the most magical degreaser i've ever used. You can watch the grease melt off in live time, then rinse the part with hot water. TB was absolutely a greaseball before I started.

Wife helped me clean and detail the OEM Corvette coil packs last weekend. All hardware for this engine is officially cleaned, media blasted and painted.

Spent some time on the Piss Missle, today. Yanked the factory style tank out.

Then sized the bed floor for a 20 gallon sumped fuel cell, went ahead and built all of the 6 AN lines for the feed, return, waiting on the Holley 100GPH pump, filter and regulator to arrive. Was initially going to use a corvette filter / regulator, but found they can't regulate pressure over 300LPH.

Came home to the cast R4 ac compressor bracket from Holley on the back porch.

Did you know Holley designed their LS swap accessory drive kits, using the C5/C6 corvette alternator and power steering bracket?

Had a friend stop by and give me a brand new NOS GM set of LT1 valve covers. These guys are definitely going on the 76 Corvette!

Holley Terminator X and MSD relay board in and wired!

Don't mind the wire pass-thru, still waiting on my grommet to come in.

Need to make the wire runs for the Fuel level resistance and ground from the Holley dash, run the fuel pump power and ground wires. Plan is to yank the mock up 6.0 and 5 speed out this weekend.

Figured while I was in here wiring the interior, I'd go ahead and get rid of the 12v lighter receptacle in favor of a 3Ah fast charging USB port.

New vehicles have really skewed my reality on how fast phones should charge.

Good news! All I have left to wire is the fuel cell level sending unit and the fuel pump. I've already built the harnesses and ran them. Just need to connect them.

Some junk from Holley was on the porch when I got home this evening!

Guess we can finally finish the fuel system tomorrow evening!
