Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Fortunately there are quite a few stations with E85 in town, and along the front range. A station I pass by on the way to and from town that's close to home is about 2 years old, so the E85 pumps have only ever had E85 in the tanks, so I know I will get good fuel there. And the place I always fuel up at has E85 and buried new tanks for it when they added it.
And the price spread is good at the station close to my house. Right now 85 octane is $2.45 and E85 is still $1.88. About how many MPG's do you lose on E85?

I ran the numbers and it was pretty much a wash with the lower cost vs. the higher consumption. I would rather run E85 and give my money to an American farmer rather than some scumbag in another country so E85 is my fuel of choice when I can get it. |

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Street & Performance is a good place from what I hear. My uncle built a street rod a few years back and it had a motor in it from them. When he got all the wiring done he took it over to them, and they tuned it all and worked everything out. He said it was a very cool place.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
LOL, thanks, but I need to redraw it. I came up with an easier way!
![]() OK, here are some more pics. First is the temp sending unit adapter. It's polished aluminum. And I'm a little nervous. I think I may have overtightened it as it felt like it might have stripped. I would like to think that if something striped out, it would be the adapter and not the head. I guess I'll find out when I get it running. ![]() ![]() Then the air filter and the bracket I made last night. You can also see the brass fitting I put together for the steam line. ![]() ![]() I went and saw a friend of mine today, and he had a clutch fan for me to use for mock-up. It has a broken blade. But he also thinks he has a good one, so I will swing by his shop on Friday and see if he found it. If so, that will save me some time on Saturday and some $$$ too. I also got the shroud to fit too, I had to cut a little around the air intake, but it all fits real nice, but I need to trim it a little more (where the Sharpie line is). The fan sits just right in the shroud. ![]() ![]()

If there is no room to thread it right in just use one of the common step up adapters that comes with most gauges to get the sender up off the surface and out of the way. |

Lesson learned! This was not one of the things I thought about when doing this swap, the temp gauge sending unit. Next time, I WILL tap the head and install it directly. PS - yes, there is another LS swap in my future. ![]()

I could make one of these fittings for you out of 303 Stainless. I doubt it would strip as easy as the aluminum fitting. Also, I would almost bet if that part you purchased is made from 6061 Aluminum. It's readily available and it's pretty strong. Seriously, send me a drawing with the male end thread specs and I can program that part and send it to you. Not a problem we have fall off that would probably work for you. Mike |

That, by the way, is signature material.
