they were not. I bought about 15' of 8AN and 9' of 6AN + a bunch of spectre faux end clamps. Had to measure and cut each hose. Getting the throttle body ones was the biggest PITA. B/c it goes from like 1/4" hard line up to 1/2" hard line so i had to shim the smaller line with a rubber hose, trimmed down to let the 8AN line fit around it. When my car comes back, i'll shoot a photo of what I mean. I should have done the TB by pass at that time, in retrospect.

Hay Jaison.......seeing how you might not need those lines for a little while, you might want to let some of your buddys Borrow them for a show or 10

Jegs has them.
Yes, sort of-in retro spect, i should have just bought the fuel line AN adapter, but I was being hasty, so i reused the stock fuel line adapters buy cutting the orginal plastic hoses off of them, then clamping the new lines on their solid ends.

BTW, now that you're getting a new engine, it would be a good time to get those headers wrapped or coated or both....at least wrapped.

thought about that actually. they are really rusted, i'm wondering if they're worth powder coating?

no, i bought a used one. I'm not waiting for those DB's to give me a check-it'll be months, especially if it goes to court.

Hey man, just so you dont get jacked by someone, powder will not hold up on exhaust, your gonna need ceramic coating. Dont let anyone tell you any diff. I know this post is a little old, I just saw it and figured Id throw it out there.

[third_shift|studios]

thanks bud, never moved on it, actually-the guy who reinstalled my engine told me the same.

[Mieux97]

Wow!!!!

[Y2KArcticSS]

Good to see you got your engine installed. How's she running? Did you get to make any aftermarket installs in the process?

[third_shift|studios]

Wow!!!!

thank you, the headplates are on sale now-see my sig

thank you. The engine i got was a used Ls1. an 02 with 90k miles (my car has 90k on it too). If it wasn't the summer and If i had more patience, i would have built it up and even had the engine bay painted. But i just wanted my damn car back and tossed the cheapest thing I could find in there. It needs a tune-but i'm putting a lot of money in the Girls Calendar right now so as long as it runs i'm happy.
