Re: LS1EK
Sheesh!, Simon... by golly there's some work in there.... just take a peek at that firewall.. and the radiator baffles... that's some serious metal...
Motor look huge in the bay... and yet to have fittings... engineer will freak!... and probably ask for a bit.. but, it's out in the open and easy access.... and - you can weld!.... build is in great hands...

Alternator and air con pump are mounted down the bottom out of the way. I need to mount the remote electric water pump and the coil packs etc.
Booster is under the dash so it will be a nice clean engine bay.

Re: LS1EK
Yes, Simon - you will have to work in this engine bay during the life of the vehicle.... removing clutter makes that a lot easier... "stuff" gets in the way.
How are you planning on accessing the spark plugs... getting to #7 in a V12 Jag was a nightmare...

Spark plugs are all accessible with a normal socket. Made sure of that when I built the headersrosco wrote:Yes, Simon - you will have to work in this engine bay during the life of the vehicle.... removing clutter makes that a lot easier... "stuff" gets in the way.

The other reason for removing clutter is to leave room for some hair dryers

Re: LS1EK
Great work Mr Taz,
Yeah I look at FB now and then, not impressed ! Seems to me everyone wants to be the hero, funny things we humans.
Anyway, I'm sure you will make it fit no problems.

Re: LS1EK
The bonnet catch lives in there, but the plunger doesn’t come down below the support bar.
Do you need to run a thermo fan(s) in there, or is there enough room between the radiator and LS1?
