Scorch BUILD v2.0 by dascorcha21

7 minute(s) of a 71 minute read

got some work done...
trimmed front of cradle to accomodate piping and coolers, also cut off front of the sterring rack mounts off to make way for the new ECS rack relocation kit.



also tap oil pan and also installed ECS's oil drain guard (this product is a must have for any SC owner! cheap insurance, small cost and super easy to install, if you dont have one then you need to pick up the phone and call ECS and get one on the way or... learn the hard way.







also got all the brackets and spacers etc..pretty much everything visible to the eye is powder coated! (ecs bracket kit, novi, flip drive system, ps/alt bracket)

wish it came like this from factory lol but its not for everybody



Fuel
Custom Scorch fuel system (good for 1500hp on E85)
Intank 400lph Walbro fuel pump
External Magnafuel 4303 fuel pump
Magnafuel MP-9950-B FPR
Magnafuel pre and post filter
Nasty Billet fuel rails
FIC 2000 injectors
Check valve
Dual relay #10 line(x2)
-10an feed, -8an return
All the fittings and e85 compatible lines are black!

these are 2 different systems in parallel. there is an intank walbro 400 pump that will run the car on e85/e98 during normal driving and the external magnafuel will kick in under boost through redudant dual hobbs switches or bypass switch inside the car. regardless this car will be ingesting e85 or e98 which has a lot higher boiling temp and is a pretty cold fuel to begin with. but the big pump wont be running long enough to create an issue. hope i explained that clearly

Slow but progress nonetheless!
Was going back and forth with Texas speed about their new LS7 heads and looks like those are the ones I'll be going with after all! Thanks Aaron!
So far Cam is out, and I have begun to clean the whole block, pistons etc. I also finished the rack relocation, installed the tensioner bracket (located on ac pulleys) and lower Flip drive bracket.





Also got the Front Cam Cover and Alt/PS bracket back and they look awesome!



Procharger race valve is in. Next thing on the list is Cam and ALKY Meth Kit. Should have more updates by the weekend.

Finally have a camera that is able to capture the pure beauty of these powder coated parts over my cell phone lol







ARH 2" primary headers with ls7 ports to compliment the heads. they have been Coated aswell. quality and craftsmanship is second to none.





Tigershark front bumper turns car into front feed and this intercooler will cover every inch of it! The by product is awesome looks the draws function on the page at the same time making the intercooler more efficient than trying to work as a bottom feeder.



SOOOOON!



I would also like to thank Arun, BLOWNBLUEZ06, Craven Performance, CBI - quickzoh6, and Aaron Over at TSP for all their help and support on this huge build! i am really grateful!
