The F-body LS1 alternator needs to be relocated as its position interferes with the power steering box. I used a relocation kit from Speedway motors which relocates the power steering pump and alternator up and provides the clearance needed. The kit comes with a new belt also. I used the stock F-body power steering lines. I cut the metric o-ring fitting off the high pressure hose and installed the correct flare fitting and reflared the line. I had to tweek the metal tube part of the line to get it into place but it looks and works great. I used a universal cold air intake purchased on E-bay. I also purchased Corvette coil covers to dress up the engine a bit. I am using the stock wiring harness that I received with the LS1. I sent it to Ken Wolkens @StandAlone Solutions in Melborne, Fl. He reworks the harness eliminating all unneeded wiring and adding a relay panel. fuse panel, and OBD port. You can see the relay/fuse panel on the firewall in the third picture. I mounted the OBD port under the dash on the drivers side. He does great work and when the harness comes back everything is labeled and there is an instruction sheet to help figure out where everything goes. I sent the ECM to Ryan VanVels @ LS Solutions in Grand Rapids, Mi. to have it reprogramed. I mounted the ECM above the under hood heater fan cover. It is a little work getting the wiring in place and wiring the relays to the fans, fuel pump, etc. Helps if you understand automotive wiring. Gauges are next. Then we will fire it up. Oh what fun!
