New Series 1 Mendeola - What's all needed?

[Dj22]

I've been trying to find some info on this and thought maybe it could be consolidated. Being in Canada I need to try and round as much as I can to get it to the border to get it all in one shot.

Im going to be using a LS7 w/ intake and Kooks headers. Maybe a small cam too.

Clutch. Standard Ls flywheel/clutch/pressure plate.

Pilot bearing, standard LS Gm?

Slave cylinder provided by Mendeola. What will be the best MC size to use as I dont have these yet? What is the end fitting?

Starter - confirmed to be the IMI 140 and needs cleareancing/heat wrap. Seperate post stated MSD won't work.

CVs - what is needed?

Reverse Switch - included ?

VSS - Mount or location provided?

Shifter - Sold by FFR? Mendeola? Est costs?

Mounting - will it bolt to existing mounting points?

When I ordered my GTM I stated I was using the mendeola. What is included from ffr vs the porsche box?

Missing anything?


Thanks for any info on this.

This is great information! Can you provide the information pertaining to the LS3 E-Rod engine and what would be different?

Good information. I was told that the stock GM starter should also work with stock headers, is this true?

No, due to the bellhousing configuration it can only use the IMI-140 at present time.
