The 1998 LS-1 Engine with a 4L60E
Transmission ready for a New make over
After removing all of the factory
equipment, we are now ready to install the long block and
transmission into the frame
Cobry and Benny set the LS-1 and
Transmission onto the frame mounts.
Cobry Campbell installs the S&P
modified oil pan with the modified oil pickup tube. This pan
must be used to clear the drag link on the tri-fives.
Once the engine has been lowered just above the frame mounts, the biscuit is placed between the engine mount and the frame mount. Place the biscuits in both sides before lowering the engine completely to help line up the bolts. You should also hand tighten the transmission mount at this time. After all mounting bolts are in place, tighten them.
Shown here is how the drivers side motor
mounts should look after the proper installation.
After installing the chrome valve covers,
we
bolted up the chrome intake, throttle
body and chrome modified dual fuel rails.
With the engine and transmission secure, we
then removed the factory coils and valve covers to install our
New chrome valve covers. Pay close attention to were the top
cover stud placement, these will have to be place back into the
same place that they were removed for mounting the top covers.
You can use a single fuel line like what is found on a 1998 and up IROC/TA, or S&P offers this modified fuel rail kit, with exchange. This fuel rail kit is like the 1997-1998 Corvette with a Vette regulator. You could also use a factory 1997-1998 Vette fuel rails, they have one feed and one return line. By doing this, you will always have cool fuel at the injector which will give you less of a chance of vapor lock in hot weather and provide you with more horse power. It is easier to run one supply line and one return line from after market tanks, like Rock Valley
or Tanks since these ports are
already incorporated into their tanks. The factory IROC/TA have
a regulator in the tank, and the 1999-up Vettes have the
regulator and return in the fuel filter.
Installing our coils back on the valve covers, be sure to place the top cover studs back into the proper place. If you don’t know were they were you can
look at the top covers to determine the proper location of the
studs.
