    Yes and no. Lines will be hidden where possible. We are trying to keep the engine bay as clean ass possible. Computers, fuse box, etc are ran through the fire wall and housed in the upper portion of the glove box.

    So we finished the pedal/booster/master cylinder. It actually was not to difficult. Pretty much modified the brake pedal box, pedal and added a rod end to the hydroboost actuating arm. Took a few hours. All that is left is just finishing work...







    The rest of brake system will be composed of the OEM ABS unit, all new fittings, and stainless steel aeroquip AQP line will replace the factory hard lines.

    No the coils dont but the wires do. You just have to cut the bracket and off-set the 2 rear coils about an inch or two upwards. No biggie.

    Yes it is the late model larger tank. The tank is longer and and the secondary reservoir is larger as well. For fitment all that needed to be done was trimming off the auxiliary fuel pump bracket on the frame rail.

    Nice job -- good idea to replace the fuel tank while you're at it. If those blue fittings on the Corvette filter-regulator are from Russell, check out the posts about them on LS1Tech; some guys have had theirs pop off easily.
    Thanks. The fittings are the new design with the locking retainer. I believe they discontinued the old plastic push on fittings due to the numerous failures.

    Finished the fuel system. -8 fittings were burned to the tank and the accompanying hose was attached. The tank was also painted black.





    -6 fittings were burned to the stock fuel pump carrier and a Aeromotive 340lph pump was installed.





    Next the fuel filter/regulator was installed and the steel braided lines were ran..







    Here are some more pics of the brake system with the Strange master cylinder installed. Although its a tight fit I glad I went this route.







    Here's the Griffin radiator. Although the first radiator I purchased worked this one has a larger core and both inlet/outlet on the passenger side which makes for a cleaner engine bay.
