SB2.2 LT1 updates, fuel cell, sheetmetal console, NX direct

Almost there...decided the factory tank and center console had to go. Like I needed another thing to fabricate (i.e. spend more time and money on) Here's the finished NX install as well..

Console. It's held on with a frame work fitted to the contour of the tunnel then bent at an upward angle with dzus fasteners installed. The upper piece will also be removable via dzus.





Here's the cell being fitted. Don't ask on this one. I'll post next week when we get it all figured out. I need to raise the whole rear deck 2 inches and fab up a sealed removable hatch assembly as well as relocate the fuel fill on the cell.



Here's the business end with the NX STD direct port installed.

The pictures do not do it justice. It is much more impressive in person.

That's one bastard combination you have there, pretty snazzy though. Can we have more pics?

Thank you every one. Here's some more of the finished console. It will be powder coated a texture that matches the factory plastic.







hsyr: According to the dyno I should be shifting at about 8200 on the motor and 7500 on spray.

Hey dave, how much did you spend on fitting those heads and that intake to your LT1. If you don't mind me asking, you can PM me if you'd like. Thanks

Jeremy

Are you going to retain your ABS? Looks a bit out of place with the setup you are running??

Yes we are for now mostly because the car see road course duty with my dad driving and we thought it would be a good thing to have in case of a slick track condition. I have to make a wiring harness for it thought as we ditched the factory harness.
