@@jaymondperry5106 no it doesn’t. It’s a stock firewall other than being cleaned up.

You know, I'll be honest - I never really looked. I just assumed the foam strips provided enough. It's gone on Power Tour again since this video and lots of daily driving without issue. But next time I'm under there I might have a look.

@@redgoatgarage hey as long at it works man , I just got back from the store going to try that foam method and see how it looks

This car did have disc brakes. I currently have all the front suspension off though as I'm putting a straight axle under it. Do you have interest in seeing a disc brake swap video?

It is not. I'm not aware of any fuel pump that has a built in regulator.

It's a universal Dakota Digital set up

I can't wait to get this thing back on the road haha!

@@redgoatgarage no doubt ! 😂

Thanks! I'm happy with them.

@@NiSmO300ZX069 hey there - so I have a return still. Previous to this set up I had an in-line pump with the sump welded to the bottom of the tank. So my return goes there, to the bottom of the tank and not the top.

@@redgoatgarage sweet thanks for getting back to me I know my system from factory is return-lessso was going to cap that and use the vent until I put new rails and make it a return style

@@NiSmO300ZX069 That's how I did it on my T-Bucket with an LS, return less. Worked just perfect.

Thanks! I'm getting close to being able to do the entire underside of the car with it too.

Awesome, I appreciate that!

I wouldn’t add it. I never have and never had any leaks.

More doors for more fun!

Thank you! My Dad's vision came to life.

It has turned out really, really nice. I'm ready to see it all finished with the interior. It's currently at the interior shop.

That would have been slick to use a factory bracket. I found one that worked and it's good to go.

It is a tribute kit from them. I guess this one was a prototype or something like that - I bought it from a friend who bought it from somebody else so I don't know all the history of it.

@@redgoatgarage thanks. I'm working on one now and it has a lot of similarities, hopefully have it running in the next month or two.

I hope so! I have some paint/coating I'm going to work on next that will really seal it all up. I just need to find the time to do it all.

@@redgoatgarage Yep there's a lot of great products out there now that weren't around back in 1957. Back in 1957 the cars were transportation vehicles , '57 Chevy now is a collector car You will take different care of it.

I don't. I'm pretty sure it was a bracket made by ICT Billet though.

Correction - I watched the video and in it I say it's made by LSX Innovations.

Awesome - I grew up in Moreno Valley. That's where my parents still live, but not the house I grew up in. You might run into this '55 someday at a show, never know!

Absolutely! I've started to order parts for it already.

Always a great idea for sure!

Thank you!

I'm a bit bummed too - I planned on driving it for the summer at least. BUT the T-Bucket went to a friend who's going to finish it off and upgrade it. I told him when he's done doing that I want to come drive it and shoot a video on it, so I'll have one final update on it for all the T-Bucket fans. I'll still be on Power Tour this year - going the easy way out and taking my '62 Cadillac Limo haha

@@redgoatgarage I'm looking forward to it, I'll be driving my T.... hopefully for the HRPT so I'll be looking for you in that 62

@@GearHeadzGarageUSA That's awesome! I'll be easy to find - I'll be in the Painless Performance booth all week long.

@GearHeadzGarageUSA I’m not surprised I found you over here haha

Thanks!!

He's going to finish it off and possibly turbocharge it. I figured once that's done I'll do a final video/ride around in it - so stay tuned!

I don't believe so. He's going to finish it and possibly add some turbos. Once it's finished I'll go for a ride and shoot a final video of it all finished.

Thanks! If I would have done a traditional SBC this car would have been done a long time ago but the LS was worth it. But I pretty much LS swap everything I have haha

Thanks! It was a very exciting day to finally drive it!

Thanks!! Getting close...

Best I've found out there. Used quite a few of them over the years.

Thanks! I actually got the car running and but I'm behind on videos - make sure to keep an eye out!

@@redgoatgarage right on!

Thanks!!! They are super nice pieces, very happy with them. Zero leaks too!

It’s still rocking all that same trim!

I'm not understanding your question - on your engine right now the engine oil fill is on the passenger side?

@@redgoatgarage yes mine is a lq4 or 7 4.8 2003 Chevy 1500 not a true LS

@@qj3780 LQ4 is a 6.0, but it doesn't matter, these valve covers fit on any LS variation engine. Your factory fill is at the front of the passenger side valve cover. With these Holley valve covers there is one under the cover and coil on the front driver's side along with one under the cover and rear coil on the passenger side.

Thanks! The car has made a lot of progress since this video. Mainly wiring and what not. Hoping to hear it fire up soon!

I can see that - but if it had an oil cap then it wouldn't be as clean either. Plus this is a nice basic LS engine which, in theory, shouldn't be consuming oil. And let's face it - it's going into a T-Bucket that won't need more than probably one oil change a year at the most.

That's awesome! I feel like I'm about 80% done with mine too but that last 20% is an uphill battle. Should be cruising by spring though!

Hey Marc - my IG is @Bad66Chevelle454 but I admit I don't post very much there. I have been working on the T-Bucket lately and made lots of progress but haven't finished editing the videos yet for that.

@@redgoatgarage Thanks. Right after hitting send, I realized I had forgotten the context. Who was the IG handle you referenced on the build video that provided the info? @funhoggarage for me BTW...

@@marc-speaks Just followed you! I think the guy I was talking about was @pandemic_hotrods

I've been cranking away on this car lately - so hopefully I can finish it in the next few months and get the rest of the interior finished!

Agreed! The plan is to get this car going again this year.
