    New Series 1 Mendeola - What's all needed?

    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.

    Clutch.

    What will be the best MC size to use as I dont have these yet?

    3/4 is standard unit from what I understand from FFR manual.
    Whatever MC is used we recommend an adjustable clutch pedal stop.


    What is the end fitting?
    3/16" standard American brake line fitting


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

    Reverse Switch - included ? Included

    VSS - Mount or location provided? Yes

    Shifter - Sold by FFR? Mendeola? Est costs? FFR is providing Information and mounting of this unit.

    Mounting - will it bolt to existing mounting points? FFR will provide mounting brackets.

    When I ordered my GTM I stated I was using the mendeola. What is included from ffr vs the porsche box? FFr should be providing everything to bolt the unit in.

    Missing anything?
    Breather box
    oil cooling/circulation system
    temp. gauge and sender
    10mm x 1.50 bolts for CV's

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

    Thanks so much.

    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.

    Thanks for the quick reply and all the info. Good thing I didn't order that Ls7 clutch setup.

    Can't wait to see this. You still owe me a shipping quote up to the canadian Abyss thou.
