Mark's LS2 2nd Gen Camaro build by Marktainium

5 minute(s) of a 242 minute read

Got a factory fan assembly from my friends at KMS C.A.R. parts. It's a perfect fit for my new rad. Just need to sort out the mounting tabs. Here's the general idea of the fuel pumps.

Here's my completed intank dual fuel pump setup. If it doesn't work as well as I want I will cut the tank open from above and build some chambers, and weld in tabs to mount the pumps. I can actually flip this setup upside down and shake it around and the pumps stay put.

Got some goodies delivered today! Nothing ever simple. Going to have to remove the stock hood latch to provide more clearance for my intercooler.

updates? hows your car??? (brother) here's a few pics... made a lower profile hood latch to give me more clearance for my intercooler. Here's the intercooler mocked up with the hose through the hole, here's how the 99 camaro fans went onto the 71 camaro rad. I'll go into more detail later this week. doing overtime again. tired...

Spent the entire day mounting and unmounting the intercooler. Trying to get the correct spacing for the intercooler hoses and not have them touch anything. Had to remove one of the bumper braces entirely, but it is only the one that goes from the top of the radiator support to the inner bumper brace. Then had to cut a good chunk out of the eurothane bumper bracket so the silicone elbow would clear. I allready modified the hood latch from stock to an aftermarket hotrod type unit to allow more room under the latch. It was all getting very annoying, in, out, in, out, in, out, in...you get the idea!?!?! The brackets you may or may not see in these pics are temporary. I use simple L brackets to mount the cooler, 4 of them, then when I am happy with the fit I pull off 1 at a time and make a replacement bracket. You'll see those later...
