Congrats! Get ready to try and keep that stupid smile off your face when they arrive.

 

That smiles already there

 

Because he thinks I'm some idiot who only spouts out info, and has never tired anything or experienced stuff for myself

I would like to get JUST the LS1 steering shaft as it eliminates that god awful, ancient, rag joint! Me and Merv talked a bit about it when he took pics of the LS and LT shafts and I noted how they're the exact same size, except the lack of rag joint.

But glad it all worked out for you!

 

I only paid $50 for one..

It's a directly bolt in, the LT1 Lines from the Pump have to be attached to it. I would think they are the same size.. but I don't know for sure.

 

So I tried using a LS1 steering shaft on my 93 z28 LT1 rack with a LS2 to fix the clearance issue, long tube headers! and the LS1 shaft seems to be keyed different and will make the steering way out of whack! Do I need the LS1 steering rack! I saw someone said LS1 rack and shaft?

 

You can use just the Shaft, it's actually 90* off of the LT1 Shaft where the bolt holes are if you look at it close, that's why it's off a little. You adjust your Tie Rods for that.

Using both the Rack and Pinion would work the greatest.

Here is a pic..hopefully it works..notice the Angle of where the Linkage bolts to the LS1 Rack compared to the LT1 Rack.

 

oh wow, that is much better. with the hard lines, direct fit maybe a little tweaking? rack bolts up to lt1 k-member no problem? tie rods, ls1's fit lt1's spindle? thanks for the info!

 

I don't know about the Main Pump Lines, I do know the Tie Rods are the same. I don't know about the Pump cause I got it for my LS Stroker Conversion..so I needed LS1 Acessories as well..

 

ima go junkyarding!!! lol....do you know if this knocks any weight off the car or not? hows it over there merv? you doing ok?

 

ok so i didnt install LPP headers but i know my pace setters were hitting real bad so all we did was loosen the knuckle up and slide it off and that should allow you to move the elbow around over towards the outside of the engine bay and that should let the header right in.

 

It's the same weight..maybe a pound lighter, the LT1 Linkage is Steel, the LS1 is Aluminum.

I'm doin alrite..just got back from Bingo, won $30..lol

 

ok cool....so its pretty much just meant to help clear the headers and what not?


haha NICE!!! glad to see you are ok and getting by there....how much you miss your car? lol

 

Not as much as I miss my Girl and she misses me..

Lets just say I won't be fckn with the Car for a while..

 

lmfao i bet!!!! i hear ya there bro! i know those feelins..good luck with everything over there and dont get fckn shot or i might have to find your car and take it!! lol.jk

 

I'm buying the stuff I want for it soon, so that way it's home when I get there.

There is all kinds of stuff over here that she would like too, so I'm gettin that and suprising her when I get back.

 

sweet!!! sound like a pretty nice guy! want to buy me some stuff too?? lol..jk.. is that all your getting for your car(whats in your sig)? when do you come home?

 

Yea, pretty much..

Six Speeds Inc Stage 4 Built T56
B&M Ripper Shifter with White 6spd Ball
Yukon 3.89 Gears
Textralia OZ700 Z-Grip Clutch Kit
Definately some Tires..

I got some little things to do to it, and it's back together tearing up the streets..

 

I helped my co worker install a set of these. too bad the maker of the headers cant move the tube over when he makes them. yes elongate the column mount holes under the dash. if you have a helper it is easier. also make sure steering shaft bolt is loose and have some one pry the shaft over away from headers.

 

sounds like some good mods...cant wait to see them on your car!! remember to keep us updated when you get home and start everything!! well we better stop hijacking his thread! talk at ya later man...have a good one and be careful over there!

 

Thanks man. Hit me up with a PM if ya want to know anything..I appreciate it bro..
