I'll put mine in one more time 87 Monte Carlo -LQ9 swap, carb'd with Texas Speed cam and 799 heads -TH400 with Neal Chance 3800 stall -Ford 9" with 4.11s and UMI rear suspension arms -6 point roll bar

Well I don't own a trailer... But this one is garaged and only comes out on the nice days. Put away for winter now. 87 Monte Carlo. 6.0 LQ9 carbed with 799 heads. th400 Ford 9 inch roll cage Full frame off

shouldnt need a reservoir can, as a said it was braking fine before i parked it. I did pull the hose of and I have vacuum there (15-16in). I did notice that when pulled the hose off after I had just shut the car off and I heard air sucking in. One way valve is working.

The Pedal is hard. Have to really stand on it to stop the car

So Im a little stumped... finally got my LS swapped Monte running and driving last week. Brakes worked well at the time. Today I go to move the car so I can get it ready for the exhaust install when I went to step on tthe brakes I quickly realized that I had no power assist to the brakes. So...

Ive got mine mounted on the passenger side inner fender with the supplied harness. You should have more than enough to mount it on the firewall

Heres an idle clip of the car running https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzHJ7bFQux0]

Finally buttoned up the engine this weekend. Topped it off with a Holley ultra 750. Ran into some troubles getting my laptop connected to the MSD 6010 since my laptop did not come equipped with the ancient serial cable connection it uses... you would think they would upgrade to usb by now...

Thanks! Ive had the hood closed a few times already and it doesn't touch. Lots of clearance with the truck alternator too.

Some more updates on the Monte. Got the Victor Jr intake and MSD 6010 box installed. Made a bracket for the box on the passenger inner fender. Also got my tach and gauges installed and wired. Used the Autometer adapters to connect the temp sender and oil pressure gauges to the LS. Basically just...

Thought id post some pictures of the finished rad and fan setup on the Monte. Made a couple brackets to connect the fans to the top part of the original shroud. also ended up using the stock truck upper and lower rad hoses with some modification. Had to shorten both to work. I ended up putting a...

Lol yes its definitely from a toyota. Says right on the shroud.... not sure what model but it use to have a overflow tank on it. Im thinking maybe a tacoma or one of the suv's. Fits perfect and moves a pile of air :D

Here are some pics of the rad/fan set-up. I cut the Toyota dual fan shroud and my stock fan shroud and am in the process of tying the 2 together. Gonna work perfect since it seals the rad in perfectly so it will pull a lot of air through the rad.

Thank you pontiacgp, thats what i needed to know. Didnt want to switch alternators since I already have this one and it works fine. thanks build thread is here viewtopic.php?f=5&t=22421&start=195#.U5yAESgjU4M hope it helps you out

Trying to figure out how to wire my alternator for may Lq9 swap. The alternator is out of a 2004 Escalade, and has a 4 pin plug. There are only 3 wires going into the plug from the stock harness so 1 pin is not used. My stock wiring harness from an 87 ss monte only has 1 wire plug going to the...
