If you’re using a gen II LT1 ,try lt1swap.com. Lots of good info for reworking a factory harness.

A lot will depend on welding skills, not necessarily body work skills. Are you planning to butt weld it so you can't tell a repair was made or lap weld? I usually wind up making things worse trying to butt weld. Especially thin sheet metal where I cant get a backing spoon or something to help...

I looked at Bailey and Delteq years ago when I started the swap, I know Delteq had shut down and thought Bailey had too. I want to use the 411 pcm because I can't find anyone locally to tune it and I can't pull any trouble codes with my current 95 LT1 pcm. That's why I'm looking at torqhead for...

Hi all, Looking for opinions on what to do with my 86 Monte Carlo SS. It currently has a 95 LT1 with a 4L60E. I'm not happy with the lack of diagnostic and tuning capability with the current computer and the inherent opti-spark problems (been stranded on the side off the road in two different...

I'll be watching this closely, I'm currentl dealing with the same situation. My prop valve tool just showed up today, still waiting on a couple other parts and I won't be able to try rebleeding until the weekend or early next week. :popcorn:

If it came from a truck it's a gen 1. Gen 2 LT's came from Corvettes, Camaros and Capices/Impalas.

Are you building an LT1 or Vortec (classic) engine? Standard heads won't work on a LT engine.

It's not just the shipping cost with Jeg's any more for me. Ordered a sub-frame from them around the first of Dec because they were the lowest price at the time. A couple of days later the manufacturer lowered their price below Jeg's and everyone else followed, so I asked if they would price...

I had a 94 Caprice wagon that I did a 96 SS conversion on that we called ORCA. (Killer Whale)

So sorry for your loss. Our cat loves to curl up on my chest or shoulder to nap also. Nothing like the unconditional love of a pet.

If the color doesn't matter, I've had good luck using 3M Rigid parts repair and SEM problem plastics repair on the plastic cladding on my Syclone, the 3M is blue and the SEM is tan. The 3M is available in 5oz tubes that you mix like JB weld, I believe the SEM only comes in cartridges. I had to...

3M weatherstrip adhesive available at any parts store. Let it tack up a bit before installation, per the instructions.

2 is the electronic spark control module, 3 is the manifold absolute pressure sensor and 1 looks like a relay. If your planning to go old school with a carb and simple vacuum distributor you can delete the ECM and wiring.

With the Caprice switches you just turn the joystick itself, to the left for drivers side and right for passenger side. I'm getting ready to do this myself but plan on using two separate switches in the factory locations. (armrest and dash bezel)

After moving into the new house almost a year ago, I'm finally getting around to running the air lines from the compressor up to the garage. Today I mounted an after cooler on the back of the belt guard and built a water separator that I'll plumb in after the cooler and before the tank. Still...

I used a 93-97 LT-1 Camaro fan setup, pulls a lot of air. Had to fab up some simple brackets, but it fits the core nicely. I've heard you can use the matching radiator and the shroud then attaches to it.

It's not just about the pivot arm length, the distance from the cable bracket and the linkage matters. Bowtie Overdrives makes a nice setup. A little bit spendy but their geometry is correct. https://www.bowtieoverdrives.com/catalog/catalog.php?Action=GETSUBCAT&CATID=W

I just did a front seal on the 6.0 while still in my truck, no big deal except for getting the balancer bolt off and back on. (250 ft lbs. really?!) If you you do pull the cover you will need an alignment tool to center the crank seal properly.

I need to get mine scheduled. A co-worker had one about a year ago and wound up having life saving surgery, now he keeps reminding al of us to get it done! A friend forwarded this to me a few months ago, A little long but I almost cried from laughing. Colonoscopy Journal: I called my friend...

Maybe he thought running the exhaust vent fan qualified as adequate ventilation.
