Thanks Craig,
I look forward to seeing how the TKO feels behind the LS3, all part of the old school appeal. Things get easier the 2nd or should I say 4th time round. Phil |

Classic Instruments Gauges from egauges.com A very nice product, but in hindsight the Smiths are the way to go for originality. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...0/IMG_0301.JPG |
Gday Phil,
This build is certainly raising the bar. That steering wheel looks like a nice piece, i haven't seen those before. Keep the updates coming. Cheers. Liam |
Orphan or fugitive
Things have been delayed with the Orphan but hopefully the painted body will be back on the chassis next week.
Here are some pics of the completed intake system. http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/...m/IMG_0597.jpg http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/...m/IMG_0598.jpg http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/...m/IMG_0599.jpg http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/...m/IMG_0600.jpg Phil |
Awesome work Phil,
I love it |
Phil,
really enjoying your build, great ideas and finish. Is the cap on the header a pressure relief type, or do you have a pressure relief somewhere else in the cooling system? I'm assuming thats one of Shaun's radiators and tanks going from the TIG finish, Dave |
Hi Dave,
The cap is the return type with an recovery tank mounted in the front. definitely shauns stuff, you cannot go passed his quality. Phil |
Phil,
Did you custom make the drive belt pulleys, or are they an off the shelf item, looks so much neater than the surp belt, also the waterpump is a great find for mounting the header, i assume no power steering, looks so neat and tidy, love it. Do you have to mod the firewall to fit the inlet tubing? Dave |
Hi Dave,
The pulleys are a sbc kit with some slight machining to make them fit. I started with the crank pulley and custom harmonic balancer. Then milled the rear of the pump to suit then mounted the alternator. There is an option to change the crank pulley to one with a v belt at the back and mount the powersteering pump low down. Yes the firewayy is notched, you cannot really notice it. the dash hides most of it the whole thing could have been so much simpler if it were mafless but this keeps it all emission complient. Phil |
Thanks Phil, looks great.

philm
just a question where did you get your reverse water pump ,as using the gilmore drive system your water pump is running in reverse or is it a different set up that i haven,t seen on A ls2 's& 3,s next question is when are you going to make more air intakes as i would like to purchase one & great build ; please keep them coming ROB |
Hi Rob,
It is a clockwize rotation pump from Stewart. Intake factory closed down, went broke making the first one. Phil |
Looks great Phil as usual.
I wan to know what the dry sump tank in the background is going on. Is that for Grover? Cheers |
HI Mike,
Yes that is for Grover, he now has a an Andra approved roll cage, reworked front suspension, a backbone stiffener and the engine cradle remade. Needed something to do while waiting for the painter. http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/...r/IMG_0585.jpg http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/...r/IMG_0578.jpg http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/...r/IMG_0582.jpg |
Oh Phil, Grover is going to be wild.
|
That's totally nuts Phil! Should be an awesome machine when it's all together.
I would love to see more pics. Cheers |
Grover Rocks!!!!!!!!
