Fwiw, I just had a stage 2 t56 built by Jason@ Texas drivetrain. It's not installed yet, but the customers service was good, shipped quick and he has a good reputation on ls1tech. No core was required, and he offered a stg2 clutch/flywheel in the package for a very reasonable price.

Have you looked into the dual pass radiator that Chase bays offers?

 

I would give Rick Yancer a call at Howe Racing out of Michigan and have custom radiator made at an awesome price.

 

Just out of curiosity if anyone ran the sikky master cylinder kit did it have 2 ss lines or one? Mine only came with one

Thanks for the info on the trans and radiators lots of road blocks are starting to slow me down any links or comments help !

 

++100 for Texas drivetrain...

 

I called them and I dealt with them when I bought my cam kit but the guy I spoke with was a dick and said they don't do transmission

 

Its one SS line.

 

Mine had 1 line from the MC to the clutch slave cylinder and then one SS line to bleed it.

 

I called and sikky said it should have two and one should have a end for a banjo bolt to slip through so they are shipping me a new one out to me

 

mine had 2. 1 for the trans bleeder, the other for the master to the trans

 

My bad, I thought he was referring to the line from the MC to the trans only, not the bleeder. It is two lines then.

 

Made loads of progress the last couple nights.

Figured out all the AN fittings I will need for my fuel and coolant set up.
Ordered all of them.

They only thing I'll be needing is compression fittings to attatch to the stock hard line for fuel and the heater core mouted on the fire wall.

If anyone knows a good place to find these fitting that would be greatly appreciated.

The sikky line that I was missing came in props to sikky because they shipped out a new one and had it the next day

Spal fan came in as well

Currently waiting on the lines , 360 degree swivel water neck and krc ps pulley

 

What Spal Fan did you get?

 

1 1/4" in depth and 12" in diameter
I bought two cause I wanna run Ac at some point.

 

I think I got larger ones than that, the info and part numbers are all in my build thread if you want it brother. I am also running dual fans.

 

^^ Thanks I will take a look, I want dual fans also..

 

Thanks any idea on what page numbers so I dint have to search via my iPhone?

My water neck came In and t56 is in the parts deptartment at work pics and a large update soon!

 

so i decided to post this update earlier that later cause i had a bit of extra time tonight.

so this is what came in spal fans water neck fuel compression fitting transmission and bellhousing.

so to start off i had to remove the slave cylinder to install the sikky line


then i mounted up the trans to the engine

close up of the exiting line


all mounted up and torqued down



at this point i went ahead and remove the oem shift linkage ill have to install the sikky shifter once the motor is in the car and tilt the engine back to make it work.

i then drilled a hole to let the slave line back into the compartment.


installed the sikky/wilwood slave


took the stock hardline and used a pipe bended to turn it about 70 degrees then installed the jegs 5/16 compression fitting


pulling these ends out and going to use earls fittings to run all the coolant lines




street and performance 15 degree water neck with 360 degree swivel


spal fans




enjoy more will be done over the weekend

 

ok sorry for the late update but ran into quiter a few issues.

there wont be many pictures this update because i bought a new phone and all the pics are on the other phone :/

but here we go

i ordered all the lines for the fuel and coolant system and all the hose ends and fittings.
all earls fittings and hoses very quality stuff but unfortuneately no pictures :/

tapped the water pump assembly and that is ready to go
but no pictures :/

i ran into a few issues i didnt like the way i was going to attatch to the heater core so i am going a different direction.

i had to pull the whole motor for the third time because i was unaware that the ls1 trans will not shift into 2,4,6 or R

GM no longer makes the piece for the GTO so i called sikky and they shipped me one right away





also took some advice from BBS350z and ordered new clutch master cylinder lines





quality stuff and no need to drill.

ordered a few clips for the throttle body because i am converting from drive by wire to cable driven

www.larryselectricsite.com had everything i needed

also got alot of planning done on the harness and more will be finished this weekend

enjoy

 

awesome stuff dude! lets get together once both of our stuff is completed
!!

 

For sure dude i could prolly make it up to Chicago area
