    "The Parts Place"

    Does anyone have any input on the interior pieces sold from "The Parts Place"? I see they have tons of stuff for my 86 Cutlass on eBay but I know nothing about the quality of their products. I am mainly looking for carpet and a dash cap but not sure who to deal with. Any input you have is...

    You will be happy with the Holley products. I swapped my 86 with their parts and it all fit like it was meant to be.

    Oil pump.

    I replaced my oil pump with a Melling hv when I did my swap. I'm a believer in more oil pressure no matter the engine. Cold starts I am at 80# and an HR later in 95 degree heat it's still running 60+. Money well spent in my opinion.

    What size wheels and tires do you have

    I am not positive on the amount the car dropped. I used coil-overs on the front and rear and sat the car just above the tire. I'd say it's dropped 2" at minimum.

    What size wheels and tires do you have

    I think you can run that with no issues. I'm running an 18x9.5 rear with 275/40/18's with a 5.25 backspace and a 1/4" spacker. This technically means I'm running 5" backspace. I have zero rubbing in the rear inside or out. The front is another story... 18x8 with 255/40/18s with a 4.5"...

    What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

    To be honest it took about 4 or 5 adjsutmenad to get the gaps where I was hapoh with them. Once I finally got it where it is now I am happy as can be. The only issue I have not is the spring that I swapped from my aluminum hood will only pop the hood about 1/4" at best. Once I get that taken...

    Swap mounts and A/C to boot?

    I used the Hooker/Holley swap system and everything fit like a glove. It's a little more expensive for the parts but the ease of installation was worth it to me. I used the motor mounts, headers, transmission crossmember, exhaust and retro fuel pump and an happy with all of it. If you want...

    Thanks for all of the compliments guys, she has been a labor of love to say the least. Im sorry to inform all of you but you're all wrong! Haha!! Just kidding, looks like I'm going to have to dig up the heat gun. I think I'll leave the trunk for now and go from there. If anyone can send me...

    Yes I do!! I forgot to add that to my needed parts post. Is there anywhere to buy tail lights for these? I'd be ok with remanufactured if I had to go that route. Lol

    CUTLASS Need constructive opinions

    To be honest I just wanted something to break up the black. It's definitely not a true LSX race engine and I'm not worried about anyone that wants to give crap about it. More people identiy the LSX with LS based engine than do the true LSX engine. The car is an 02 Vette LS1 and the sound...

    Thanks. I've been looking at the car for so long with no badges that I'm not sure if I like them. I figured some time to adjust and opinions on okacempla would help.

    Carb or no Carb

    I'm not going to try and sway you but if you have second thoughts look me up. Ive been a SBC as longs as I've been able to drive and now that I have a fuel injected LS I sold every piece of old school Chevy and don't feel bad. The wiring is simple and I have the HP tuner software that will get...

    Carb or no Carb

    I'll say this, I just got my car completely finished with an LS1 and a 700r and love it. I bought my harness ($450) because the one that came with my engine was hacked up and could not be used. If you get on LT1swap.com he has all the info you need to do the harness work yourself or you can...

    Gbody Question

    I'm sure others will chime in but there are plenty of places that would get you the right stuff. Texas Speed does some nice LS cams. There are others as well but I've got friends with their cams and they are happy.
