Dan87951, I sent my block to SFR and they had a shop that they use do the work.


Thanks for all the info. Just one more question. What do I do, if anything, the little electrical connection on the to of the CV when I get rid of the CV? Also, do you all think I can get all the vacume line and T's I need from Home Depot or Lowes?

 

Depends on what type of vacuum line you are going to get (hard or soft), but the Home Depot types are probably not a good bet. They stock high volume movers, not anything odd.

Finding small diameter hose barb Ts in brass is nearly impossible and you need to go to an industrial distributor. Small plastic Ts are fairly easy to find at a good hardware store. But engine bay heat does a number on them after awhile.

Small hard plastic vacuum line is easy to pick up from an automotive store. If you want to go with the 3.5mm soft silicone line that has a heavy wall (so it doesn't collapse under high vacuum or get blown off under boost) that is a little harder to find locally. HoseTechniques sells it mail order fairly cheap and at one point they were buying from Purosil so it was good hose.

 

I just got plastic T's and soft, thick walled lines from napa. Thanks.
