Re: Project "Blue Belle"
Pretty sure that is like a PCV valve. It is a crankcase breather of some sort.

Re: Project "Blue Belle"
That's pretty common. You wil lhave to drill them out. You may need a helicore when it is done.

Re: Project "Blue Belle"
been super busy cleaning and prepping engine for paint. got all the things i need for my fuel lines and such. It literally took me all day yesterday to figure out what I needed from Glock's "fred" thread. I think me just being a newbie and all is what took so long but I think I am getting the hang of it now. Heres a pic just after she was soaped up and washed off. I think I am going to take a wire wheel to block to get the remaining rust off.

Re: Project "Blue Belle"
Slowed down for a bit but now I am trying to pick up the pace. I stripped the wiring harness and left only the necessary items. LT1swap was super helpful. Going to hit the block tonight with a wire wheel and hopefully it will be ready to paint on Sunday.

Re: Project "Blue Belle"
Will LS1 exhaust manifold fit on my 2004 5.3 V8? I am looking at buying them so they will clear my frame. Any advice?

Re: Project "Blue Belle"
found a guy near me selling exhaust manifold and cats off a 2010 Camaro SS. Asking for 200$ I know I can use the manifolds but can I use the cats and is that a good price?

Re: Project "Blue Belle"
I would imagine you could use the cats if you wanted to.

Re: Project "Blue Belle"
yeah I have been debating. I haven't painted it yet cause I hadn't decided. I think I am going to get a different pan.. they are just so damn expensive. know of any place I can get a decent quality for decent price?

Re: Project "Blue Belle"
Ebay or on ls1tech.com classifieds. Luv the paint job on engine. Had mine on a engine stand for 6 months an never thought about painting it or the oil pan. Going to wait for tax time to change the front suspension maybe then I can.

Re: Project "Blue Belle"
first part of the week has been pretty busy. took the front clip off my truck... or course with the help of my little shop hands.
![]() Now to power wash the frame and paint with por 15. I was just thinking about doing the front but its looking like I am going to be taking cab and bed off. It will make things a lot easier when I run my new fuel lines, pump, and filter. Wish me luck.... oh yeah I have never done this before. ![]() |
