either had too much timing or lifted a head and was pushing water. either way the 862's came off and a set of 243's are taking their place. also painted my intake and rail i thought it looked trashy.

only fitment issue is the longtubes. they fit great with a t5 or t56. an auto is another story. i had to put my 02's in my y-pipe. stock driveshaft works the f-body pan needs to be used i used the f-body accessories but i have seen people use the truck (with modification) and vette accessories . lots of room in the engine bay. hell it fits better than the 305 that was in it before.

Default Exhaust

Do they make shortys for the ls swaps? I'm using the s-10 swap headers and plumbed in dual 2-1/2 and would rather go bigger but haven't heard of any for the 4l80 swap

like i said. the interior isnt that bad. just having the time to do it is the big issue. got the idea to do the swap from stage20.

this is his car not mine. carb 408 with a glide. 6.29 on motor.
