I was going to do the Ecklers fender vents on my 77. I like the hood vents as well. Are they custom or off the shelf vents? Not planning on copying, just curious. I was leaning towards a L88 style hood but cut and shape it into a waterfall like the C5R's had.on their hoods.

Do an electric fan conversion, it'll get rid of the massive plastic fan shroud. You'll have more room for the waterfall.

These are custom. I had them built in CAD and send cut send made them. I’m thinking about producing them for sale, but I need to verify that they’ll fit on a factory LT one and/or L 88 hood. They should fit. I just need to double check. And please don’t feel bad about copying. I’ve imitated so many other corvettes on this build.

Where did you get the header bar and bonding strip from? I have to redo mine on my 70 as it has been sitting for some time and cracked my nose section from being off the frame for so long, I have it on a body dolly but minimal nose support and that is what gave.....
@mayermotorsportsАй бұрын
I believe I’ve got the actual header bar from top flight. As for the bonding strip, I reused the one I have and just cleaned it up. Look into the small bracing brackets on the left and right. I’m not sure if they came factory on the earlier models, but they actually bolt the header bar to the inner fender structures to help support.

I am doing my first swap. Ls3/6L80E in a 03'Crown Vic Police Interceptor. I took a L94 block and turned it into a Ls3. Brand new flat top pistons. Everything but the crank is new. I put a BTR Stage2 V2 221/24× .619/.617 113 LSA. I've seen dynos from 537 to 565 horse at the crank. Good deal brother!!!

Does metal tape work better than wax paper?
@mayermotorsports6 ай бұрын
Honestly, I’m not sure. It probably releases just a little bit better but with the metal tape having a side that adhesive it gives me a little bit more versatility. There’s all kinds of options you can use though.

Love all the videos please keep it up. But on this last video where you have covered all the holes on the firewall. The spot where the heater core goes for the vintage air you should cut that back out. I have the same system and it works well but every so often ( so far twice in the last year the aluminum line that goes to the heater core, some how gets loose and drips antifreeze in the passenger side footwell . I have been able to repair and service it from the firewall side by taking off the metal plate they provide. Love the car coming out amazing 👍🏻

Yes, it does everything in LS three would do with a big cam in it. If you look at my other video of the first start up, you’ll hear it with side pipes. And then if you look at my shorts, you’ll see one of me driving it down the road.

@mayermotorsports you probably saved me so much money it's ridiculous lol. Always loved the ls3 since it is such a boost happy engine and has that scream to it similar to the ls7. But the ls7 of course is stupid expensive lol. Is there something similar with the ford gt's 5.4l and the navigator 5.4l. I have seen navigators with long tubes and x pipes even and still can't get the scream that the ford gt and cobra r have?

Question Why didn’t you just buy the whole l88 flared fender/ 1/4 panel kit as a whole ? Great work and lots of good information keep up the good work 🤣
@mayermotorsports8 ай бұрын
The flares from custom image Corvettes do come essentially as an entire quarter panel from the bonding strip down. You still have to cut and fit them and this is the route I chose. They fit relatively well and if I didn’t really insist on moving the wheel out, it would’ve cleared and I wouldn’t have had to cut anything. Unfortunately, I do not like wheels buried in fenders and lowered to the ground so I had to make the change myself. Apparently, I like creating more work lol
