    There isn't a really exact measurement, but here's the pic courtesy of the_merv on LS1Tech.

    You'll have to eyeball it from the pics but it's roughly like an inch from each "dimple" and then you also want to do a little "L" to the panel to make accessing the quick disconnect lines easier.

        yeah Mike quite easy, there are 2 valleys look at pic, stay about 3/4 to 1" in at the top by the back seat same thing 3/4 to 1 from bend this is to give you enough overlap to screw a metal plate back over hole. from the top cut towards the back its 12" read this as you look at pic and I think you understand.

              • well sort of back on the road, got 3 issues, 2 of which may very well keep me from picnic Saturday. 1. I have a nasty drip oil leak from oil level sensor. 2. and most importantly left bank o2 has broken wire or sensor bad. Sensor is easy to fix I can swap it to right side to see if its bad. Broken wire, well thats a little tougher. 3. Needs new fuel pump thats on order. but could drive to picnic on the one thats in the car. So we'll see how it goes today. Trenton is to far to to take a chance and end up with big tow bill.

                    The level sensor shouldn't be too bad on that. 'Course, it'd probably be another oil change. Hell, worse comes to worse, just hitch a ride in RA.

                      • How long do fuel pumps generally last??

                        Mine is probably on its death bed 227k [dont think its been replaced before I owned it]

                        Great work you two, sounds amazing

                        • If you take care of them (aka, dont run the tank below 1/4), they should last for quite a while.

                            Who knows? this one appears to have been replaced before I bought car. Bird has 121K. It has been hard to start lately cranks over 5-6 times on 1st start of the day.

                                I've got about 185k right now. I had the shop do a life expectancy test on the pump, back in March. Typically, the fuel pump runs at about 5k rpm. at 3k, they are considered unuseful. Mine was at 3200 rpm. I also rarely let it get below half a tank though.
