    using stock gauges with LS swap harness?

    Direct from hpt back in like 2011. Honestly if you aren't super interested in learning HPT or planning to continue to modify stock ECU vehicles I'd just hire someone out who can do it locally or via mail. HPT is $400 and a license is $100, if you are having someone turning off theft and...

    using stock gauges with LS swap harness?

    No resistor, it still has the buffer thing on the firewall from factory however. I did have to change some of the output parameters in HPT to read correctly

    BUILD THREAD 86 GP 2+2~Blown 6.0

    Well started reassembling the heads. Got a little sidetracked and ordered the wrong (factory) valve stem seals instead of the smaller ID set needed for the BTR dual springs. Also I think sent the spring locator seats back with the core engine so had to get replacements of those. Cleaned up the...

    Lunati Cam Pricing - worth a look

    Damn, do I buy 1 to hoard just because? There's currently a cam very similar to my BTR stg2 blower that's under half the price.

    using stock gauges with LS swap harness?

    If you have a 700r4 that is mechanical output the factory speedometer will work fine, no fussing needed. I assumed you had a 4lx0e or t56. I have a t56. Some later 700's had an electronic output. Oil and coolant temp scaled into the stock G body gage pack fine. The 98 Firebird LS1 coolant temp...

    Red, always red I have gotten smart and wear rubber gloves almost any time I am in the garage now. Finally found a pair that is comfortable and holds up. My rough goal is to get the car running my March 1. Plan of attack is get the LQ9 buttoned up, clean and paint the frame and underhood...

    Well it's time. I'm signed up for sick summer drag and drive this June so I've got a deadline. Hauled the car back home last weekend after it's year slumber in the mouse house. Saturday was a nice day so I used the snowblower I mean tugger and the floor jack under the rear end and flipped...

    using stock gauges with LS swap harness?

    Yup, There are better videos than mine from 7yrs ago but I know the content lol. If you have a Chev a 88-91 G van or Suburban square body you can put the speedometer in the G body dash, otherwise you need to do an aftermarket speedometer. But yeah stock gages work with a 99-02 truck oil...

    A Fabricobbler's Guide to the Turbo Buick Galaxy- Cutlass Rehash

    Put glycol in the rad and swapped the fuel system over to gas from ethanol. Hauled it to storage and couldn't have procrastinated any longer. It was -10f as a low Saturday morning when I put it in the storage garage. It's been on/off snowy at home but it's here to stay now. Took the 2+2 back...

    200-4R lost reverse & O/D?

    It could be the OD roller clutch 'sprag' as it's the only thing applied in OD and R. Especially without the oil smelling burnt. Per the CK book-

    BUILD THREAD 4LxxE tans controller possible project

    If you do design something, I'd recommend you make it work with this- It's basically a 3l80e conversion for th400's. LOTS of carbureted or older EFI system's that don't have the I/O for trans control drag or street cars with a th400. I always thought it was dumb that people will spend over...

    How are you wiring your dual electric radiator fans? Without external fan controllers, using LS PCM

    Does your intrepid fan have relays on the fan or not? There is a standard and HD cooling option. The fans are 2 coil so if you power 1 coil both fans turn on low and power coil 1 and 2 they turn on high. My intrepid fans have 2 wires, a black, yellow, and green. I have 1 relay triggered with...

    Aftermarket Sway Bar Selection

    I have used a 2dr Blazer rear bar and currently have a CPP rear bar. I like both and I have the hollow 36mm F body front bar. The CPP bar is adjustable. The problem with putting a MASSIVE front bar on is often a car can turn a corner better with some body roll. If the front is super stiff it...

    Elcamino LS swap

    What mounts/pan do you have? The pan has to almost be on the tie rod ends when at full steering lock. Some 'kits' put the engine up quite a bit depending on the pan that's used. You also likely need a smaller amp alternator. I think I have one off a 06 1500, basically just a low amp unit, the...

    3" exhaust

    I have a Pypes 3" X pipe with RacePros. It's not overly loud. The fit is moderate but the price reflects it. Expect to do some tweaks. I didn't have to cut anything in the middle but I had to fab my own brackets and dent some spots in the floor. My complain with the Pypes kit is the exhaust...
