Chevy LS6 heater hoses and vacuum tubes part 2

Heater hoses

Here are pictures of the heater hoses fitted. I bought the heater hoses from SFS Performance and the stainless steel heater pipes from GD.

Vacuum tubes etc

The hose to the header tank and the overflow, were fixed in place.

The vacuum tubes from the air intake to the rocker covers were also installed.
This required a tee piece to be inserted near to the rocker cover vent (I will replace this with a polished metal tee later). The hose was tie wrapped to the cross-member to keep it away from the belt tensioner. The superfluous vacuum take offs will be blanked off shortly.

Must be good to be getting closer to firing the engine!

Hi Andy Not quite there yet, but as you say getting closer. Body is next big job - should be within the month. Engine fire up will wait until I get the gauges, so that I can monitor it!
