Vette(s): ' 76 Customized .Mid year rear window ( ' 67 style ). It has an '80 nose,'80 rear bumper , and a 76 hood . Also , I squeezed in a ' 94 Vette LT1 . Paint is a custom mixed BLACK with RED PEARL mixed in !
What kind of horror show will I run into with the radiator and heater hoses with this project ? |ohwell|
Will I have to use the good old stand by , flex hoses, for the radiator? Can I use standard heater hoses from the block to the heater core ?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated !! |thumb|
Man thanks in advance |biggrin|
Bill.......

I don't know how many modifications you'll need to do with a '90s LT1 engine in a C3. I do know there are a number of very significant differences between that LT1 and a standard small block Chevy. It has reverse flow cooling, a different ignition system. Most parts differ throughout the motor.

Being fuel injected, you'll need an appropriate electric fuel pump installed in or at the fuel tank.

I'm sure you can do it, but it will likely require more than just flex hoses, etc., to do it well.

There will be so many other things that you will have to consern yourself with that the radiator hose will be a breeze. It will take so much time but it will be worth it. My only recomendation is to buy a custom wiring harness. I waisted so much time dinking around with my wiring harness. I finally went and bought one.
