    LSx Swap Parts Database

    I think it has a two inch drop between the spindles and springs. Unfortunately I can't claim the build. I bought the car as a "finished" roller. I couldn't have afforded it with the running gear it had.

    LSx Swap Parts Database

    Hooker headers for G body. Thery are not Z bar friendly. I had to dogleg the bar enough to have fab up my own adjustment rod. A few aborted attempts before coming up with what I have. I'm not sure if it works yet. Seems to have full throw, but till it's running...

    LSx Swap Parts Database

    Tried uploading off my phone. Not sure if it worked. Will check back after work. Took a bit because I have been helping my daughter out on her project more than putzing with my own.

    LSx Swap Parts Database

    Running an early LQ with mechanical linkage. It required a gen2 F body ball threaded into 1/2" aluminum bar stock bolted into the stud hole on a Corvette bell housing with the block casting "hand milled and threaded" on the other end for the pivot point. I then had to do a fair amount of...

    The Time to Get Creative Was Yesterday.

    Well have to agree to disagree on this one. Grew up with bronchial issues. Have lived around trucks most of my adult life. When I got out it was 5.5 if you were very disciplined. You both miss my point which I thought fairly obvious, but apparently not. These moonbats keep forcing issues...

    The Time to Get Creative Was Yesterday.

    Having been an owner operator I can vouch... the mandated emissions on the class 8 units are detrimental to their performance and cleanliness. Fuel consumption was doubled from one year to the next, and when they switched over in 07 the service intervals were halved. The amount of fuel and oil...

    sea foam motor treatment

    I moved from OK to NV in the dead heat of summer, pulling a heavy azzed trailer in a 2500HD Silverado. Truck got HOT. Really HOT pulling some of the hills between OKC, and Las Vegas. Top end started making some chirping noises not long after the pull. I added a bottle of Rislone to the oil and...

    What brand dolly can hold a 600 lb V-8?

    I got a Latin from blains farm and fleet some years ago. It took a fully dressed BBO. I am pretty sure it was at the limits though and had it stripped down to the block and rotating assembly Pretty quick.

    Mechanical or Hydraulic? (vote)

    IDK if it corrulates, but I put an SBC/ T5 compo into a 3rd gen Supra using the factory slave/master from the car. They use an external slave that was fairly easy to fabricate a bracket to attach to tha bellhousing. I cut a factory 2nd gen F body fork down to clear the tunnel. Pedal was light...

    Lm vs Ls swaps

    MY memory might be off, but I am pretty sure the LM7 is an aluminum block truck engine (TB and such I THINK). You will have right around 300 HP in factory trim with it, and would be fairly stout as is, but a cam will help. I have seen them go in excess of 900 HP with power adders on the stock...

    Small Mig Welder??

    I started with a Hobart 180 (220V) touchy and balky because of the limited heat settings. Last summer I picked up 110V Lincoln 140(?) ( Stuck in Afghanistan for a while now, and just got the thing before I left) from Blains Farm and fleet website on sale. Not as tuneable as the same unit...

    383 stroker or LS Swap?

    I HAD an LQ4 in the cutty, and nearly finished before reverting back to the 307. I had my reasons at the time. If you have all the parts on a fully functional truck, a few aftermarket, and a couple OEM automotive bits should have you pretty close to there. 383 should just drop into the vacated...
