3) Link to pics if you have any

We can create a list and link it to the top of this forum as a guide.

I wanted to thank everyone who has gotten the word out about this particular forum, I wasn't sure if it would have an audience but it appears that there is one.

Bonus points if you have info or pics of that 59 Cadillac converstion with the turbocharged LS1 from New Jersey!!!!

I like it. You're gonna catch hell from all the ford purists.

I almost went ahead with a cobra project where I was going to put in a 4 cylinder into a cobra. It was a "Shelby" 4 cyl engine with a gt40 turbo that puts out 600 to the wheels. Didn't do it.

Enjoy your new toy.

1] 1988 k1500
2] 1997 ls1 1994 4l60e
I have the dished flex plate and crank adapter i have crank spacer, longer crank bolts and flat flex plate with 11.066" bolt circle. The flexplate came off 2004 6.0L but I don't know the transmission. Does it matter if it were a 4l80e?

TC is smashed together between adapter and transmission and will not turn. This set up is supposed to work as I have talked to jegs and speedway. Without adapter TC hub will not reach crank. I could grind lip on crank and remove corresponding amount on adapter that fits in crank but that is extreme considering the 1368 people Speedway has sold to this year. Deep in trouble and can't fixit Need help. Thanks. Dave

If have a technician question, this isn't the place to post it. You'll get a better response making your own post in the conversation forum.
