Spent $260 on custom 11/32" pushrods for the wagon's LS1. Started daydreaming about the snow melting.
What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

Realized that every time my car(is) is broken it's either oddly nice outside for the time of year (70ish) or gas is under 2 bucks a gallon. :/
Started to work on the ol' 4 speed to do a new input shaft bearing for good measure & clean it up for new seals & gaskets.
Bolted in my rebuilt Steering Box from PCS Motorsports. It is a work of art. I can't believe it is the same box I sent them last week. Everything in the steering will need to be re-aligned because the pre-build box had everything so jacked up. hopefully it will back on the road by the weekend.
I scored a set of -781 heads with new 2.19/1.88 valves set up for .580+ lift cam... perfect for the 468 I snagged the other day. Probably work out real nice...9.1 compression and it is already sporting a Comp XE274 cam.
Very nice! I love how big blocks fill up engine bays! Here is a pic of the 468 in my brother n laws 68 camaro. He had to pull it and put a 400 in it for a bit and it just looked silly lol! Looks like this now though.
I built a DBC harness last week and now decided to see what I could do with DBW. An obscene amount of work to get it right.
Guess I know who I am gonna hit up when I find an LS motor to swap into a G-body
It's a lot of work, but in the end you get to decide where the PCM mounts and how the wiring is routed. I looked at a couple of commercial harnesses and I can't figure out how they would even work in a G-body. The early PCMs are almost impossible to mount in the passenger compartment.
Ended up pushing the Monte into DD status today. Trans on wifeys Impala is acting up and I refuse to put any money into it so she took my van and I am driving the Monte until I find her a new car. So todays task ( in-between calls at work ) is to sort out the choke on the car. Now if I can only find that post by Bonnewagon ..........
