Dual Walbro 255's I plan to run. They will mount directly under the fuel cell keeping the pumps gravity feed at all times.

The walbro pumps have a check valve built in. The Bosch pumps that a lot of people run do not, and require an external check valve.
 
If you search walbro and check valves alot of ls guys complain about losing pressure.There is also alot of people that say they do have check valves and some people say they do not. There website has the check valve listed as a option so i wasnt sure.

2" X 1/4 DOM soon to be trailing arms with solid 6061 centers.

Today we got the rear upper shock mounts done, the rear suspension mocked up, and cycled every to make sure we have no drive shaft bind or clearance issues with shocks.

mounts are 3/16" top will be 1/8" with some dimple holes for speed reason. Will probably add 1/8" around mounting holes or use weld washer for strength.

Shock tabs on links and upper axle link mounts are for mock up only. Have Artec rear 9" brace that I will mount and tie in upper link mounts to rear brace.

Got the lower shock mounts done, and batteries mounted. The lower shock mounts are a little higher off the link that I wanted. Not going to mess with them for now but will try to squeeze about a 1/2" more up travel to lower shocks on link.

Got started on the front of the car. Issue we run into is I really wanted a front radiator, but it looks like the rad would have to be mounted at a 60 degree angle for it to work. Not sure I wanna do that, so may just throw it in the back and mount trans cooler and heat exchanger for the intercooler up front.
 
I have mine at about a 45*. Cools great at 5000rpm in the trails, but I don't race. It's the flexalite finned tank with their fan, (3200cfm iirc), with the steam ports routed to the tank, hooked to a vette ls2.

sent from a fancy Samsung Note 2 with an illiterate operator. ..
 
Mooneyham's cars run the radiator nearly flat in the front and it cools fine. Personally I like them in the back anyway
 
Got a lot more bracing in the car.

10" Ram should give us 45 degrees of steering

Griffing large fluid cooler.

Right we are getting knuckles mounted to start ram mount, and front bypasses and coilovers mounted. Links should be here at the end of next week, by then it should be a roller.
 
Good to see Sat, Chris!

Cant wait to see this finished.
