    Most people run F-body LS1 efans, but 96-98 Ford Windstar efans are a great choice IMHO

    These are for going into the corvette fuel filter/regulator. I can take you a picture of the setup later today if you need it. Check amazon for the filter. Only like 45 bucks. I Fired mine up yesterday! Ran on the first try. Still need driveshaft and exhaust. Im thinking about doing side pipes. But anyways. Let me know

    yea i have the filter coming in the mail now. im just not sure how its hooked up. am i missing anything? a picture would be awesome the few pics that i saw didnt show much.

    i saw your post thats great man. im doing 3 inch pipes from the header h pipe in the middle then dump the exhaust before the rear axle. i want it to be pretty quiet. i heard the flow master super 50's were good so i might try to find some of those.

    Ill try and get it today. Problem is by the time I get off work its already dark outside. But the connecors will make sense when you see the filter they literally just push in.

    havent been able to do much on the truck lately because of halloween and the kids. also i been waiting on some stuff to come in the mail. i had to order new motor mounts because i forgot to take the old ones off the block when i sold my engine. also i wanted to upgrade to the polyurethane mounts. also waiting on the flywheel adapter to come in. the fedex/ups guys will get to know me well over the next week or so. i got about 8 packages coming. i decided in the downtime im going to try and clean up the interior of the truck because it is horrible. the truck sat for a year or so and i used it as storage. so i pulled out the front seats and console. i plan on taking out the carpet and pressure washing it and scrubbing it down or i might just replace it. depends on how bad it is.

    Heres my mess of an interior




    i also ordered a MAF and dbw predal from a member here $100 for both shipped to my door!
