    Ah mmk. The stock pump was inline? So are you reusing all the lines...?

    I think Im gonna completely replace everything and go with a fuel cell. Cant fit the fuel hose onto the old tank inlet because of the reinforcements welded onto the rtas.

      Those filters are garbage, the one I had didn't regulate anything, I had over 70psi at the rail with the motor running. I swapped this out for an aeromotive regulator with the return off the regulator, single rail feed and it worked much better (looks nicer too with nice AN fittings going to the rail)

        ^^^+1. Not a big fan of returnless systems, but you can improve the OEM stuff. Everytime I do a track LS, fuel system is the first thing to go. Also, you would want to get rid of the stock crank pulley, just....in....case...

            This is a street car. I'm just trying to get her running right now. My budget has exploded.

                Did you have to do any clearancing to the tunnel to get the tranny to fit?

                  Yes I did. I'm not sure if the magnum I bought has a bigger body then the stock f body t56.

                    The tail housing is longer that's for sure. It also has a 31 spline output shaft. Much stronger!!!!

                      Sounds like operator error. Did you have the variable speed pump wired up?

                      If not, it's behaving exactly the way I would expect it to.

                        doesn't the sikky kit have a yoke for a standard t56?

                        you might be better off selling that driveshaft as is and getting a custom one.

                          The shaft is useless without the spacer that comes with the sikky kit.

                            Some quick note.
                            Its impossible to change spark plugs under sikky hydra boost.

                                Seriously jealous of your ability to install engine from below.
