Been slammed with other projects but I have made a lot of progress. The harness rewiring is completely done aside from the final splices of the PCM circuits that feed back into the main harness (like VSS, tach, etc). Those I'm just waiting until the engine is in so I can splice them at an appropriat...

Interested in how you accomplish your Frankenstein flywheel/clutch combo and bell mods. Always looking to learn from others experiences when possible. My current swap looks to be super easy. The SBC clutch I have laying around fits the 4.8/6.0 flywheel I'm using on my 5.3 and the splines are the sam...

I hear you. Tonight I just finished my double adjustable Viking struts in the Beretta and got it off the lift. That was a bit more work than expected, but imagine that...the coilover conversion engineered for a Camaro isn't a direct swap in a Beretta with a Blazer sway bar and Ram end links. Weird. ...

Fuel tank: perfected. Finally. Been through some revisions...first the stock tank thrown in the trunk to do burnouts! haha Then I designed and built a fully custom stainless steel tank using the original Beretta sending unit and ring with a truck filler welded in. My stainless weld job was a problem...

I could probably fake a blower fan, but nah. I think that's where my HVAC hoses are going to enter the cabin. Been looking at fitment of a universal evaporator/heater core box to go where the glove box is now. And then move the front sway bar to fit the truck compressor...adapt truck compressor to b...

Finally accomplished my underhood beautification. I bought these polished valve covers 2 or 3 years ago and finally got around to using em, paired with some nice gen4 truck coil packs. From day one the original rusty gen3 coils looked pretty terrible...(after all the donor truck was literally rusted...

I did my underbody, trunk and engine bay in Raptor Liner. Good stuff. Keep plugging away, slow progress is better than no progress (like my car lately) Yikes

Here's a general LS swap info post. Converted a 2003-06 harness to 99-02 by switching from P59 to P01 computer wiring. The earlier PCMs were simpler in their use of o2 sensors, they flash twice as fast, every single one of them can run DBC, and I can run the same 2156 OS as all my other cars. Gm use...

I don't know if I've shared this info before...but last year I struck a deal with a buddy of mine to trade Camaro labor. He owns the metal shop doing all the laser work for me, and he wants me to LS swap his barn find 69 Camaro and put a Speedtech suspension under it. I told him I didn't have time f...

I think you already know the answer to that, given historical evidence.

Doesn't look like a whole weekend of work, but I got the small block/auto/pushbutton 4x4 out. My helper demanded to be there, which was nice. This is the second 4l60 she's taken out of a Chevy SUV now...only 1 behind me. I did pull out a 350/4l60 from my 94 Z71 exactly 15 years ago now. That was my ...

Understood. And the early LS engines are right on the cusp of the "too much electronic BS" cliff. The 99-02 trucks are the sweet spot, less BCM crap and still cable throttle and more commonly floor shift 4x4. (Except the introduction of the 8.1 and Dmax in 01 brought DBW before the 03 chan...

I've confirmed it works for the 96+, and I have a buddy with a 94 I'm going to test it on. Don't go carb. Wiring an LS into one of these is cake, and those are proper sequential port fuel injection...not the stupid poppet injectors like the 4.3/5.7. The LS going in this one was $300 and it doesn't n...

https://i.imgur.com/RjOGGIj.jpeg https://youtu.be/2EbyinqJoKY Getting rid of that 06 Burb did leave me with a couple situations (like buying a stove in the winter) that really would have been nice to have 8' enclosed cargo area. Like last year when I used it to get plywood and interior doors on a n...

Got some freebie step bars from BoostAuto for making a video. I was gonna sell em after I was done with the video but the kiddo loves em. They're solid amber running light, sequential amber signal and solid white "rock light" when you flip a rocker switch. Kinda cool. I made crew cab ones ...
