Default Winter Project Finally Finished - Time to Drive (PICS)

Well it's been a long 2.5 months, but the winter project is finally completed!!! After seeing some of the motors on here, I was envious and decided that my LT5 was just not up to par. So in the process of having the top end powder coated, I decided to do some major preventative maintenance.
  • Complete top end reseal - didn't break a single bolt!!!
  • Fresh powder coat
  • New stainless steel hardware
  • New fuel filter, injectors, and regulator
  • New water pump and thermostat
  • New alternator
  • New PCV's
  • New serpentine belt and tensioner pulley
  • New coils, plugs, wires
  • New secondary vacuum pump
  • Radiator professionally cleaned and pressure tested
  • New Samco rad hoses
  • New weather-stripping around the cab
  • CAGS installed
  • New Silver Star headlights
  • Fan by-pass switch
  • Air intake stiffener
  • New keyless entry key fobs
The UPS driver has delivered so many packages to my house that he knows me by name now.

A BIG thanks to Jerry for the gaskets and plug wires and to Marc for the new emblems and plenum video!! Also all the past posts and knowledge on this forum was a huge help!!

A few pictures to celebrate an end to this lengthy project

Looks great. FYI SAMCO also makes the 90 degree Oil Baffle hoses and PVC hoses. Might order them for shelf for the "next" time under the plenum. Hopefully tht wont happen for a while. GC

I had heard and read about them on here, but I couldn't find a distributor for them. I had ordered my Samco's from Corvette Central, but they didn't offer the other Samco products for the LT5

The color name was Camaro Silver. Unfortunately, I'm not sure who the manufacturer is for it. It is basically a light grey with the slightest silver spec.

Looks real nice, I wish I would have had more time to do mine like that this winter when I replaced my stuff. I'll probably tear it apart again next winter and do it when I'm bored and winter drags out like this year. On a side note hey Dave K do you know a guy named Jim Robinson and his wife Sandy in Sudbury?

Hi Brillo. No I'm afraid I don't know them.
