Re: Budget LS swap 6spd RWD Z26 project.
https://youtube.com/shorts/VyC0f9f0094 It does burnouts! But it was too damn cold to make smoke...not even banging off the limiter in 2nd. Sad face. And it would barely go anywhere on the frozen tundra - those cold slippery tires I think had less traction than the breakaway torque in the LSD. So I b...

Re: Budget LS swap 6spd RWD Z26 project.
Oh hell yeah. Technically I could have test fired it quite a while ago even without steering and pedals, etc...but it's still a big checkmark off the list. Brakes and lines are totally done, cooling is all done except for one brand new hose leaking...not sure if it's the hose or probably the spring ...

Re: Budget LS swap 6spd RWD Z26 project.
https://youtube.com/shorts/0gFmT303q3w It's alive! Put a shitload of hours in on it over the last week+, cause I'm getting kicked off my old man's lift for his dumb new Mopars. A lot of the final little details turned out really well. It's uncanny how well a truck fuse block and PCM fit a Beretta. h...

Re: Dead Batteries
My old man was telling me about this same thing. He tried it with his Schumacher 100A jump starter/charger but it's pretty new and has some sort of logic that prevents you from doing this successfully - just reads "defective battery or poles reversed". I wonder if the key word in your post...

Re: what did you do to your ride today?
Old Mopars are ok I guess, and these two are both 4spd, but there's no way in hell I'd pay the Mopar tax. Cost twice as much as a comparable Chevy.

Re: Budget LS swap 6spd RWD Z26 project.
There are a TON of little things to do before it's right. But the 10-day forecast looks amazingly good for November, and I'm gonna try like hell just to get it running and moving before it comes back to my garage in the very near future. And if it moves, there will be tire smoke!

Re: what did you do to your ride today?
You can get more light really easily with just a bulb swap...assuming they are typical 9005 and 9006. Plug & play. Sealight makes LED bulbs that have the same focal length as halogens are they are really, really good. I had them in my last Beretta and still use them in my truck and the wife's Su...

Re: Budget LS swap 6spd RWD Z26 project.
Ok. Steering is done for now. Current limitations keep it from being perfect...but I'm gonna roll with it for a bit! I need to do some more research on different racks, but I'm too far behind to keep pissing away more time on it. haha I got the pedals completely finished and made some progress on th...

Re: Budget LS swap 6spd RWD Z26 project.
Working on steering angle and Ackermann now. Anybody know how many degrees of steering angle a factory Beretta has? Mine hits the inner fender at about 35.

Re: what did you do to your ride today?
That's the main problem with a lot of projects... it's a lot to take care of, and there are only so many hours in the day. I got the brakes fixed up on that stupid Blazer. Now I have a suspension squeak driving me crazy that I gotta find. Got 18.4mpg though, that's a lot better than the truck! It tu...

Re: what did you do to your ride today?
I dragged the Beretta back close to the garage at least. I gotta get the brakes done on that stupid Blazer and get it out of there...that's been a nightmare getting it to bleed since the rear circuit was completely dry and it has disabled ABS but the hardware is still there... Snapped this picture c...

New one is 4WD also. Fixing the brakes on that one right now. That has turned out to be a pain...Rettax3 wrote:I have seen exactly ONE 2WD Blazer of the era
