Project Never Fast Enough

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I'm working on fixing all of the problems at the moment, the IAC sensor wire is being soldered back in and I have to make a trip to the hardware store in a few to pick up a new o-ring for the coolant crossover because the gasket maker didn't seal well. Then I have to grab some connectors to swap the wires on my cam position sensor and then I'll just be sitting around wiaiting again because I will be buying a LS6 intake and ported throttle body today.

can't tell from pic what matierial that is? plastic alum ??? if alum or metal couldn't you solder that with alum solder. alum solder will nite to alum and other materials.

It's plastic Larry. That sucks though Jeff, hope you get it figured out today!

[DETROITMUSCLE]

The manifold is plastic, which I tried to have plastic welded and was told that nothing will adhere to it because its a mix of different plastics. The patch piece is aluminum and we attached it with JB weld after being told by several plastic places that it would work the best.

[98blackbeauty]

wonder if you could fiberglass a patch on it. sucks having to pay 300 buck for a new one.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I will be keeping it and getting more opinions on what may work best if at all and fiberglass is an option, I just don't know how well it would hold up to gas fumes.

Can you find out what it is made out of? I am taking a polymers class and might be able to help ya with that.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I could try and call FAST and ask but I was told by a few people its just a polymer intake so various plastics.

[Schuby87]

If you can find any stampings that identify the plastic, it would be easy to match it to the best adhesive. That is, if you want to try it again.

[Lucky SOB]

i know $300 isn't pocket change, but a new ls6 intake would be the route i would go. have some peace of mind that it's perfect.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Unfortunately there is no stamping on it at all Brett I tried to go this route before but you can take a look at it next time your out this way just let me know. Either way I'm buying an LS6 intake and then I won't be rushed to decide on what to do with the FAST, plus I have plans to spray the car eventually and I would never do it with any type of fix like that.

damn jeff sucks to see your running into probs, that exhaust looks damn good tho!!! mike was telling me about it at the m&G

next time i go out to lifetime and its not real late ill have to stop by your dads shop

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Defiantley just give me a shout. The problems are usually expected, but shit I got the car running April 1st and if I had lots of free time and money it would have been running a while ago.

what wrong with the cam harness?
did phil have you swap the two wires? everyone I have seen have had the two wires swapped causing a long crank and a MIL

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Yeah I swapped the wires, the funny thing is I was totally expecting it but when I read all the posts about it they said the telltale sign is no tach, I didn't know they meant using software, because I had a working tach in the car. That should completly solve the starting issure I had though so that makes me happy. Now if that intake and tb would just show up already I could be driving it.
