    Water neck spacer for LS???

    I saw this and thought it was a great idea. Nice clean solution to a steam port with no drilling or tapping. Only problem is it's for a SBC and I can't find one for an LS. Anyone have a source? Or make them? .

    Chores and allowance.

    Trey, my 10 year old was sitting in the kitchen eating my cashews and on his tablet playing a game and who has cut our 1 1/2 acres exactly 3/4 of a time asked me if he could get paid to mow the yard. I said, he could, but wasn't going to get paid. Then he asked if he could get an allowance? I...

    17" GTA or 18" GNX wheels

    Is anyone running either of these style/size wheels? My MCSS has had Weld Drag lites for years and I'll be keeping them to put my drag radials on. For my daily and cruising wheels (same thing for me) I'm looking at 2 different style wheels. The GNX style 18" mesh or the 17" GTA honeycomb wheels...

    Searching for a particular rear control arm bracket

    I had a picture of a bracket/brace on my (now broken) cell phone. When I 1st saw it I thought it was a bolt in towing hitch type of brace that bolted on the very rear of the frame. Then I saw a pic of this bracket installed and it appeared to connect the control arms vertically like most support...

    New to me Tahoe

    In the 2 weeks since I pulled the engine out of my MCSS I have discovered that we are not a one vehicle family. I was overly optimistic about how well sharing my wife's SUV would go while working on the swap. I accepted the reality that I was going to have to buy another vehicle. I got very...

    355 SBC that isn't

    Since day one when I bought my MCSS I thought I had a 355. That is what the seller, who had it built told me it was. Shortly after I got the car I had the engine pulled to put new gaskets in it. I took several pics of the engine while it was apart but didn't research part numbers. I recently...

    Aluminum Radiator saved me in town

    My MCSS temp is so consistently at just a hair above the 100 degree line that I tested my temp gauge and sending unit 2 years ago to make sure it was working properly. Yesterday I was sitting at a red light and I saw the needle move! It was a huge awshit moment because I knew something was bad...

    Digital dash Dakota vs Intellitronix

    What makes the Dakota worth $750 over the Intellitronix at $350? I've looked at both and I don't see what makes the Dakota better. The lifetime warranty is nice. For the guys with Dakota. What made you decide on the more expensive system? Analog sweep gauges vs digital readout?

So I have a 4l80 Gen 3 transmission, an LY6 Gen 4 engine with a Gen 4 donor vehicle that has a 6l80. What is the best...

    Steinjager rear control arms.

    Searched but didn't see anything on Steinjager control arms. Is anyone using them or familiar with them. Quality or junk? Really the only reason I'm looking at them is they are adjustable and super inexpensive. I am also looking at the UMI non adjustable with poly bushings. It is going to be...

    CURRENT 6.0/4l80E swap parts = $$$$

    I am planning, starting next spring, on swapping my 355/TH350 for a 6.0/4L80E and have been researching what my cost would be. I already have the donor vehicle and the engine and trans both run very good with 80K on them. With a worst case scenario where the engine and trans would need a...

    So this happened today

    I was driving down a rural 2 lane road in my Monte. Just cruising. I caught up with an 18 wheeler and was looking for an opportunity to pass. When I was able to get around the truck I gave about 4/5th throttle and the Monte was pulling hard and then, all of a sudden, it lost some power and...
