Haven't made it that far into the thought process yet but my initial thoughts are that if the Chevy motor dosen't need it then it goes bye bye. I know the oil seperator is integrated into the Porsche motor so that garbage isn't coming back for sure, perhaps a catch can of some sort will be in order, but most definitely not the Porsche unit...

The renegade mounts utilize the Porsche A/C compressor, although I'm sure you could make a chevy compressor work with some effort.


So I had a bunch to do this weekend but still managed to spend several hours trying to figure out the mounting situation for the gas pedal. I think I have a good setup figured out and made a prototype which is probably a bit sturdier then is necessary, but it shouldn't go anywhere! I'll post some pictures this week but essentially I just bent a piece of steel to make a "U" shape, or an "n" shape to be more specific, then made provisions on the legs of the "n" and bolted angle iron to them with some adjustability. With some more work it could be made better but will definitely get the job done.

Also regarding the wiring for the gas pedal, luckily I have some friends who work at a stereo shop and I was able to get a bunch of wire to extend it pretty cheap!! The one thing they didn't have which has slowed me down was EMI/RFI wire shielding! I figured since chevy thought enough of it to have it in place I should probably do the same thing to my wire extensions~ Couldn't find a local source so I ordered some online which should be here this week. Not sure exactly how much extension is necessary yet but i'm going to make it a bit longer then necessary so i have plenty of room to route it safely - but you should figure a minimum of 4-5 feet. I'm going to run my wire along the top edge of the engine compartment so i'll probably give it a good 6 feet to be safe but i'll give you an exact figure once it is in place.
