Body fitting on very nicely

Original mounts are retained and modified to accept the Dewitts rad .

We take the original sender and weld in a return and use a C5 fuel filter that has a regulated return . See picture below





Love this build

It's so beautiful....I am tearing up!

Man that LS looks so good on that chassis Now I just need to find some nice fuel rail covers like that, maybe red though.

The first time the owner fires that thing up and drives the car, they will have a smile on their face a mile wide. That is looking like a brand new car.

That is beautiful. All put together with precision like a large switch watch.
Besides the smile the owner will have, Manny and the crew must get some special emotional bond when seeing the thing of beauty they created. Lovely Manny and all..............

I really like this concept of keeping the original body styling but upgrading the mechanicals. I have a friend with a 58 FI car that has won multiple NCRS awards and he never drives it. Not because of its value but because he says it is just uncomfortable to drive. Upright steering, little creature comforts. So it just sits.

Looks like great workmanship and I cannot wait to see the car completed. The owner will be very excited having a vision and seeing the completed car.

Manny, any issues with hood clearance on a stock small block hood car when installing an LS engine?

Lots of room , we could even fit a Maggie under it
