    Hurst Lightning Rods

    Good 2wd 4l80e's can be had for $3-500. Add a Transgo HD2 shift kit and I would trust that over a $3k 4l60e rebuild.

    Hurst Lightning Rods

    So back in the 80's if you were to buy lightning rods from a speed shop.....did Hurst also sell a shift plate?......or counsel? How were guys installing them?

    GBOTM Congrats CM1SCW, December '23's G-body of the Month!

    Well done. You have the perfect ext/int color combo....the optimal drivetrain....and the 17" N90 wheels really compliments the clean factory appearing exterior. I can't think of a single thing that would make this car any better than what it already is. You've got my vote for g-body of the year.

    $55 plus shipping, I'm not sure what the USPS medium flat rate boxes go for these days.

    '87 Monte Carlo SS, $11K

    Shouldn't last long at that price. Not to nit pick but you have 3.73 gears if stock (my apologies if you swapped gears or an 83-84 rear)

    Front radiator support bushings very low

    In my case, it became an issue when I swapped an 86 GP frame under an 86 442. I had always assumed the frame was slightly different.

    Front radiator support bushings very low

    I had the same problem....I used a pair of hockey pucks on each side.

    2002 5.3l for my swap

    Yep.....been in both positions myself.....the hopeless feeling of facing a seemingly never ending project.....with the project completely torn down in my garage........ and breaking things up into manageable projects with an emphasis on keeping the car on the road.

    2002 5.3l for my swap

    Some classify the ~2004+ gen 3 with gen 4 internals as a gen 4......some call it gen 3.5.....regardless of what you call it, an 04-06ish lq4 is the holy grail of ls truck engines.

    2002 5.3l for my swap

    You had good luck getting a 45k mile gen 4 lq4 for $700.....whenever you bought it. The market has never been that low on a low mile 6.0. 45k mile engines don't really exist anymore. 145k would be on the low end of the spectrum nowadays. I routinely see complete running 5.3's for $5-700 and...

    2002 5.3l for my swap

    Nothing wrong with wanting to get experience in building an engine. It's just that many projects get stalled and never finished at that point. It might be a better strategy to initially swap in the high mile engine and build a core while you work the bugs out of your swap.
