Project '67 Nightmare Part 2 - Engine Makeover

After installing the pan gasket, Bill used a 1/2-inch socket to snug-up the bolts of the 7-quart Milodon oil pan.

A ratchet with an extension and an Allen head were used to secure the Classic Performance Products engine mounts to the LS1 aluminum block

After installing the Classic Performance Products transmission crossmember, Bill and Elon lowered the LS1 engine onto the engine and transmission mounts.

After Bill aligned and installed the Professional Products intake gaskets, he carefully placed the Professional Products polished aluminum Typhoon intake manifold between the cylinder heads.

A newly calibrated torque wrench was used to torque the Professional Products Typhoon intake manifold bolts to their correct torque specs. On the first pass, the bolts were torqued to 44 lb-in and the final pass, the bolts were torqued to 89 lb-in

Bill installed the OEM LS1 (26 lbs./hr.) fuel injectors. They will retrieve plenty of fuel from the fuel rails and deliver efficient fuel into the intake valve and combustion chamber.

The Professional Products red anodized aluminum fuel rail was placed onto the LS1 factory fuel injectors.

After applying pipe thread sealant on the -6 AN blue (inlet) fitting, it was carefully threaded into the fuel rail.

After the two left and right fuel rails were installed onto the fuel injectors, they were connected with a single braided hose line. Notice the aluminum fuel regulator (PN10671) that can be easily mounted to the firewall and features both fuel inlet and fuel return stainless steel fittings.
