Guessing it gets shoved into the rear springs somehow....bet it's pretty self-explanatory once you get the "block"...???

I can get a pic if you want but they go on the back springs, you have some one lift the car about a 1" and then you can get them in. They make the back end a lot stiffer.

They are probably just an insert that doesn't allow teh springs to compress???/

There you go, you got it.

I don't know about these ones, but typically those twist in so you don't have to lift the car at all.

silverGXP

Well they are the shipping block they put on the GTO when they send them out to the dealers. They are just a big reb rubber block with 3 cut outs so it will fit on the spring.

thats not heavily modded either.

Rockers & associated upgraded hardware - ONE mod
Tuned - 2nd Mod
Shift Kit - hardly a "real" mod but fine, we'll call it mod #3
Downpipe - Mod #4

thats it, tires aren't a "mod" either. just traction aid. No significant mods, just baby, beginner bolt-ons.

Well not to start anything, but for us LS4 guys that is highly moded so far. It is not as easy for us to work on the cars as the RWD cars #1, there is not as many mods available #2, so i guess that makes it a highly moded car since it has pretty much all that can be done at this point.

ok now i go

And who invited you over here? Stick to the LS2 section. As Nikon said, there's not much else to do. If you didn't know, we're not getting the "interest" that the other LSx engines got...so for what he's done, i'd consider it quite a bit.

Did you really dredge up a 3 week old thread to talk down about someone?

FastPacedGTO

you wanna cam it cam it, nobodys stopping you.

stick to a custom grind, .570 lift, and all the duration you want. Or disable the DOD, toss some regular lifters in there and go nuts. Can't that be done?

headers? bitch to TOG to make you some, be like the L67 guys and port your stockers.

you act like this is some mutant motor that can't be modified. I think it's funny the guy who wants to mod it the least is the leader in your community.

Even the GM LSx would slide in there perfectly.

I just don't get it when people are like "there's no aftermarket for this motor" Hello, it's an LSx, the aftermarket is huge, all thats badly needed right now is headers, and I'm surprized they aren't out, as the 3800's had headers.

Hi badd,
What size/brand/model of drag radials are you running on your car? I want to put a set on mine.
thanks

Not that easy to do, you would need to drop the motor in the car. I think the stock lifters are what makes the Crane 1.8 Rockers such a hard *** install on these motors though cause the stock rods are about 1/4 inch bigger.

Scarlett, got my fueling reasonably closely dialed in and the Crane's will flat out pin you in your seat, once you get the adjusting sorted out, you HAVE to get it tuned somehow. I am for sure getting valve float with the stock springs, just as starts to really pull, starts to drop power at about 5700 RPM. For 95% of my driving, the added torque in the mid-range is just what I wanted, so in no hurry to swap the springs, maybe in a month or two, but now that I am not running pig-rich, it really snaps to attention when you step on the long pedal. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, I promise.

scarlett

I ordered HP Tuner software so once I get it i am getting my car dyno tuned no messing around . And to note I woke up this morning and there was no loud tick in the car so far. And last night did I ever have it out with a Nissan Skyline!

06MonteSS

NICE!!

Now who wants to come help me put some rockers/springs/etc on mine???!!! ok, not help - but DO it, as I have no clue... LOL

scarlett

You could not pay me enough $$$ to ever do these rockers again. If it wasn't for the fact I am one stubborn *** and spent 877 on these dam rockers I would have used them as rocks and sent them skipping in the lake. I suggest if you do springs you get someone who really knows there **** cause if you have the wrong clearance you will have some nasty valve piston slaps.

scarlett

I found an article on the net that said our stock springs are good up to 6300 RPM and the best spot to shift is 6100 RPM. From all the headaches talking to people they said unless you change the cam dont worry about the springs just don't abuse them by punching into the 6 grand marker alot.
