Your engine is at least 2" forward from mine, I don't see any kind of vacuum booster working. Maybe a hydroboost...

mmag0428

Russ, I know there are hydrboost kits but they were outside my budget. I also found some info on swaps but I thought it looked complicated, lol after what we have accomplished I should have tried it. I will look and see if I saved any of that info.

Looking good!

Im doing the same build on my camaro, I ran into one of many issues. The latest issue is the torque converter wont bolt to the LQ4s flexplate. Any ideas? Money is tight to say the least!!!

RS2, I had no problems with mating my lq4 to a 4l60. What trans are you using?

Use a dremel tool on the bolt holes in the flex plate if they are only off a little. It's been done hundreds of times by swappers. If you have a three bolt convertor and a 4 bolt flexplate, swap the flexplate.

The coolant sensor in the head is (or should be) the ground, replace it.

she is back up running!!! oil pressure is a steady 45 psi at 190 degrees. Thanks Sal, Dale and Josh. it took all of eight hours to get her running. My Lesson learned is dont assume that the O ring that came with the new oil pump is correct! I used the red one this time.

Got any links regarding this mod, it's the first I heard of it. I have a pretty shallow tank in my Caprice, and am looking for a bucket'ed fuel pump module like this. Hopefully it will help my fuel slosh issues.
