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 ...

Fixed it. Hated it. Sold it. https://youtu.be/oeiFe-qCevI Plan was to get the wife out of her 2018 Subaru and into something that had more room, heated leather, sunroof and that I could keep running forever. The Subaloser was already doing some weird electrical stuff with windows and stereo that had...

And here's the 5spd conversion stuff. Made a step-by-step how-to video when I did it. https://youtu.be/lh2QTmAjkl8?si=s-ndvFu2W1s-3nLf This was the simplest 5spd swap I've ever done, and I've done a few different platforms. Pedal slides right in, tcase, crossmember, driveshaft are all the same. NSS ...

Guess I've been slacking on updates, but I've got it driving and I'm really happy with it. So I'll post the first batch of pics to go along with the video of all the rebuild stuff not related to the 5spd swap. It needed a lot more work than originally expected (surprise surprise). But now I fixed th...

This might be the best handling Beretta on earth now.😎 I made some 82-92 Camaro struts fit...the bolt spacing and length is the same as Beretta. I did it with basically stock KYBs to see if it all would work, so I could buy double adjustable Viking struts for a Camaro. It works so damn good I'm gonn...

Grabbed another Beretta! Chris is moving, so he made me a deal I couldn't refuse. So now I'm once again the (not so) proud owner of a Quad4/5spd GTZ. This one is a 92-93 and it's a little crusty...prob best used for parts. The q4 runs on starter fluid and everything is intact with the 5spd, etc. The...

The 282s are pretty good, lots of guys use them in v8 Fieros.

Upgrade! Always good to swap an auto for manual...even if it's swapping cars. haha

Finally got the Berettafest video done: https://youtu.be/KEidJb3mnCs
