Excited to have my 6 liter iron block swap 95 Trans Am back and anxious to get some numbers on the dyno. Pretty basic build:

Brought Josh at Spartan LSX a 2011 L96 in OCT 2015 for a tear down and refresh.
Custom grind by Cam Motion
Ported 823 heads with LS3 valves
LS3 intake, injectors, etc.
Brought the guys the car, clutch, QP fab9, and a few more goodies August 2016. They've hit a few rough patches in there but hopefully I'll post some videos and numbers soon.

We'll see how it goes! I'm pumped.

You've been patient to wait this long. I hope everything works out for you.

IronThomas

Does Spartan LSX do machine work?

IronThomas

I do not believe so. I had some done through them.

Not to say anything about the shop since I don't know them, but its been more than 2 and a half years and your car isn't done. I understand that it's an lt style car but that's a long time to wait for a build.

IronThomas

Hopefully we'll hear something monday

Maybe this weekend?

2 years? Hopefully it gets you the numbers you're looking for.

I've been building my car for like 10 years so don't worry about it. lol

Just reaching out for some help, we can't get the steering column to mate properly with the manual rack.

95 Firebird
LS motor
LS k member, manual steering rack, and "intermediate shaft" (the link between the rack and column)

Do I need an LT1 intermediate shaft for a manual rack?

​​​​​​Do I need an entire steering column out of an LS car?

Or should it work and I need another k member and rack?

FYI: column is hard against the header and they're saying there is too much toe in the front wheels and I'm maxed out in adjustment..
