    Not necessarily new

    Like the title says, I'm not really new. But I haven't logged onto this site since 2015 I believe. And boy have things changed. Time to see what I missed.

    No its dished it only goes on one way. But somthing is definitely going on for sure now. If I hold the brakes and push the gas pedal down it will brake stall up to 5000 rpm. Its only a 3000 stall

    Bad converter symptoms.

    Im pretty for sure this is the issue just with the bad weather and all i havent been able to swap it out to fix it. I got people so confused on this one because the motor runs perfect. The trans shifts perfect. It cruises perfect. Idles around in drive perfect. Just when you hit full throttle...

    Bad converter symptoms.

    Haha nope. I was gun shy about that one when i put it in. Ive dropped in converters before but this one was alittle bit of a pain. But i played it off as my paranoia. Im also thinking its not getting fluid in it somehow. It only held like half a quart of fluid. Every other one ive done held at...

    Messing With Spark Plug Gap

    In all honesty i think a 231 was actually the last time i ever messed with spark plug gap. .80 doesn't seem ridiculous but does seem excessive. I think i started off at like .20 and tweaked it a dozen times till i hit .60 and at that point i think it started idling rough on me. It didn't misfire...

    Need some help on finding the correct headers for my swap

    If you want headers that fit perfect with no mods at all. ls1 S10 swap headers fit perfect. Thats what i used for my swap. If you want long tubes alot of users on here found F body long tubes fit but the driver side collector has to be cut and re welded to point straight so i t doesnt hit the...

    83 Hurst/Olds Engine Swap 307 with 5.3 LS4.

    You can but you will need the flat 6.0 flywheel and its not included with that kit. The 5.3 is dished. Il try and link the kit i used. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/add-712500a?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKEAjwotmoBRCc6LWd2ZnkuBYSJACyt2qudjcWkWoTmTCKfEdd652QUSbkQJgjCAYjeVuFFaoeURoCMQXw_wcB

    83 Hurst/Olds Engine Swap 307 with 5.3 LS4.

    You sir have an LM7 not an LS4. My apologies if someone pointed that out already i just skimmed over the replies. If you are wanting to use the 200r4 the bell housing pattern is the same on the LS minus 1 bolt you can only use 5. Dont try to tap the 6th hole either it goes into a water jacket. 5...

    79 Malibu 5.3 swap has officially BEGUN!!!

    None period. I can fit about a piece of cardboard between them. And the trans was already in the car so i can only get 4 transmission bolts in since there is no room. Once its running ( or if it runs) my buddy is gonna help me get that 5th bolt in. Also the factory th350 dipstick wouldn't fit so i...
