I've heard of people doing the Suburban/Tahoe AC With rear AC Unit think that might be something to look into for the limo I will have to get my stuff together and get a good update posted

O and the truck pan was to low did the gm swap pan it's just high enough and price was good a Holley pan might have gave me more but almost 3x cost

Not really worried about keeping the rear a/c...The car isnt that big. Its a good spot for all my air suspension goodies. I thought about trying to use some a/c components from the donor Suburban since hes parting the whole thing. But I think vintage air once I get it driving is my best bet

Which method did you go with to attach the ls to the th400? Stock power steering lines work? You think truck intake would clear the hood? Thanks for all your help

I used the gm spacer for the 400. I'm running a hydrobooster with a cooler so made all new lines and the truck intake wouldn't fit on my car

Default Covers

I was reading your post and I seen you had painted covers on and then switched to a CTS-V cover, are you selling the smooth covers?

That sucks man, I would offer parts from my parts car that Im parting out, But dont think Series 75 parts would do you too much good. If you need anything I am parting a 64 Series 75 Limo.

Hey, do you have any pictures of your sump on the tank? I'm on the fence about trying to use an Impala SS / Caprice tank or sumping my extra stocker. I actually picked up a LQ4 so I'm trying to get my parts together. I have a ton of questions, don't want to overload your thread
