Santa came to the ship today...

Thanks for the reply/pics. Now thats something I haven't seen before. Who makes that? I'm not sure that would fit well with the blower drive though? I have to get assembly started and begin mocking the drive up to see where things land I guess. I'm diggin' the River Rat for fitment though, I...

Have you got any links to them? I found the mike kuhl river rat but are they still in production? Only impeller kits come up and I have no idea what a splittler is as nothing comes up when I search that. Thanks, I had considered one of these sandwich pumps but had heard there’s issues? Edit...

Injection pump is in its place.

Been thinking about the in tank pump deal... it’s got some advantages, the pump is away from any bilge water, an inline pump likes to be gravity fed so the in tank pump eliminates bottom tapped tanks/dry priming issues too. Disadvantages would be cheap chinesium pumps as well as issues...

Nice. Whats the aeromotive pump for? Just a thought while bouncing "unconventional ideas" around (I have lots of time on night watch to come up with horrible ideas)... What about using a commonly available "in tank" pump/sending unit? Not trying to be cheap at all but pic attached is cheap as...

It’s probably not an issue, I was mostly concerned with fuel in the oil but it’s not like the side tanks are higher than the pump in case of a diaphragm issue it shouldn’t gravity feed into the oil pan, probably just keep an eye on the pumps weep hole and be fine. I would rather eliminate having...

Thanks, My concern with running a OEM style pump without any float bowl was the diaphragm travelling full stroke as its free flowing fuel with no restriction. Maybe that’s not an issue and would definitely simplify things...

Awesome. Thanks for the pictures, that’s a real clean looking rig.

That is bad azz. Thanks. You must have a big needle and seat in that bowl to flow enough fuel.

Spoke with Kinsler this morning to check my parts order and they said the Holley float bowls can work in lower flow/smaller pump systems, they didn’t feel it would work in my application. I’m curious how the BGF/BAF systems are set up?

I’m running 2 3/8”... did they make any difference in sound or just keep the billy club out? I’m real lucky where I live now, minimal noise complaints where as I was talking to the cops every time I used to take it out at my old Spot.

I’ve heard of this working but Kinsler specifically poo-poo’d any thought of that set up...

Block for the 598 made a long trip but finally landed at my shop.

What size are they and is that an old wood Maha slalom ski in the back? I learned to ski on on one of those buggers...

Fuel system question for the Mechanical Injected guys... Fuel tank placement/surge tanks... How are you rigging your fuel systems? I have two 10gal tanks going side mounted using the original fill locations however the mechanical injection pump wants no suction head and the shortest possible...

Chevette or Corvette? A friend of mine has a ‘78 C3 with a T-10 and a small block with a mini blower. It scoots for a street car.

Sounds like fun. Always loved a stick in my street weapons, always big blocks of course... I tubbed and narrowed a 9” rear for my square body project recently, yanked the super T-10 and scored a Lenco ST-1200 from a racer friend at a steal of a deal. Should be interesting... Have you...

Someone got themselves a sweet ride. What a rig.

Thanks guys. It sure is good to have dusted the old girl off and pulled it out of storage this past summer. It’s been far too long high and dry. The mild 454 was pieced together with all my left over parts and it’s taken all the abuse I can throw at it but it needs more power. The boat trimmed...
