69 Chevelle LQ4/4L60
The build started by pulling the BBC and trans out on the 20th, It took 4 hours of ripping stuff out and low and behold The Other Woman as my bride calls her sits nose high, she looks kinda sad sitting empty. Me and my brother Mags installed the BTR rocker conversion parts into the LQ4 and called it a night.
Target is LSfest 2016 with a possibility of driving to Milwaukee for the summer nationals. Pics to follow soon.
Car - 1969 Chevelle Malibu
DTS Custom 12 bolt, Detroit Truetrac with 4.10 gears, ford big ends at the end of the tubes to hold in the 33 spline axles,
12.19 Dynalite Willwoods 4 piston drilled and slotted rotors round out the rear end.
LQ4 2001 Silverado stock - (Rocker upgrade) going to use stock truck intake and drive set up with stock computer and harness
4L60e from local Transmission shop
Things to follow - Heat/AC , cruise control , rebuild the seats for the long rides, coil over set up for the front and then either a little NOS or a hair dryer,

so i stopped on my rx7 build. sold the t56, ls6 intake and some other stuff and wasnt planning on building anything else then found a running/driving 03 is300 for $1000 so picked it up. still have the ls1, about to trade the f-body pan for a gto one and bought an aftermarket LS style intake manifold. so i guess im building this now. goin to repaint the motor and do an auto. just tryin to figure out if i wanna make everything work still or just gut it and make it a fun car since i have my daily one.

2003 dodge ram conversion..
Has anyone out there swapped an LS 5.3-6.0 motor into the 2003 and up ram? I know the installation should be easy with the adjustable mounts so I am wondering about my factory guages, will I still be able to use them? The only reasons I am wanting to do this swap is I am tired of head and timing chain issues I have been having with the 4.7 motor... Three times now! The truck is paid for and I love how it rides compaired to the GM trucks and its so much easier to install and tune a turbo on the LS motors...lol I would like to hear from anyone that has done this swap and yes I do want to keep it fuel injected and will be using a gm transmission... Hopefully the 4l80E.
I am new to the site and first posting so I do have this posted elsewhere on this site where I did it wrong...sorry

71 Nova/73 Acadian L33. My recession rod, price of oil is low, I'm out of work so this is going to be cheap. One day there will be a turbo going on this and I'll change out the pistons and rods to forged and drop the compression a little bit so I don't have to run water meth

C1500 getting LS3/TR6060
Well pretty soon, this LS3/TR606 from a 2012 Camaro SS
is going in this 1991 C1500, replacing the 25 year old 4.3L 5 speed.
Working on parts collection and wiring because as if that isn't enough work I'm swapping the 1991 dash to a 1998 at the same time. I'm going to create a thread once I actually get all the parts and the swap actually starts. Can't wait.
