As some may already know, last year my LS swap fell thru and I ended dropping an extra fresh built old school 355 in my SS instead. I tried my hardest to keep the E4me and everything. It was great and i loved it when it was all running good. Just couldnt get it to stay running right. Problems...

Hello again everybody. Been busy with moving and new job and everything lately so I havent posted in awhile. I have a 87 SS with tilt and floor shift. Steering column is shot and I will not be attempting a rebuild anytime soon on it. And I mean shot like wobbly, key stuck, high beams stuck on...

How much difference does it really make? MPG? Is one way better with some carbs and not so much with others? Stick or automatic make a difference? Again, we are talking about a daily driver. My choice (and thought process) has always been vacuum with an automatic transmission for better MPG but...

***I do not want to start a debate about carbs vs fuel injection. So please, if you feel putting a carb on a LS motor is a bad idea, feel free to start a thread about it. I would like this thread to possibly be helpful for those who may want to do the same as I am getting ready to do.*** Thank...

I am still gathering parts for an LS swap and I have a line on some C5 manifolds for dirt cheap. What I need to know is will both sides 100% work for a g body swap and does it matter if its a 4.8? Plans are 1" setbacks and I will be doing the jeep shaft swap beforehand plus my car is a floor...

So far any racing Ive done to this point has been, lets call it non sanctioned I guess lol. Well, for the first time in 40 years of life Im going to run at an actual track with one of my cars. The track isnt very far from my house so Ill probably only have a 1/4 tank of non ethanol premium when...

Im curious, do any members here offer or willing to offer these services? Im not looking for a "shop" to do it for me at this time. A friend knows somebody local thats willing to do it, but he has only done it once and I wasnt impressed with the finished results. And he had to send the pcm out...

This isnt really a write up, more of just me sharing a little info. Ok, over the years Ive read and searched all kinds of threads about people trying to find a definitive answer on what speakers fit in the dash of the SS's without modification and how to change them. Everything from hacked up...

Getting ready to do the plugs on a stock 87 SS and wondering what plugs you guys like. I am planning on going with ac delcos (like always) but would like some input based on experience with stock motors and other plugs. TIA

I know loud(er) music isnt everybodys cup of tea but please try keep your comments informative and helpful. Im sure it will be appreciated by all. I purchased a single KICKER comp vr 12" dvc 4ohm with a matched ported box. Sub has a 400w rms rating. I also purchased a Hifonics zrx1200 1D thats...

Last spring I upgraded from the factory radio to a cd/dvd combo and went from 4x8s to 6x9s in the back. Also replaced the dash speakers with some no name (but not 27 years old) speakers from Ebay. Man what a huge improvement did that stuff make. I mean night and day. Now, at 40 years old, Im...

Not mine. But it might have been if I didn't just buy a house last week. O well. http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/cto/4501046170.html

UPS just dropped off my freshly rebuilt carb for my 87 SS from Mountain Man. Showed up very well packaged and looks great. They were both a pleasure (the Mrs. and him) to deal with on the phone and from ordering to delivery took less than 6 days. So far, I am very happy with this and Ill follow...

Been toying with the idea of putting some pinstripes on my Monte SS. Kind of like the style of the ones on Montes of the late 70s but following (then breaking at) the upper body lines of my 87. Does anybody out there have pinstripes on an SS/SS clone? If so, please post them up so I can get an...

Hello all, My name is William and I live in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Early last year I picked up a completely stock (other than paint) 87 SS from the original owner. Ive done a few things to it since but nothing major. Finally decided to join here because I see some more serious upgrades and...
