    Daily driver turbo

    I have two buddies that have supercharged ZL1, fast as all get out, but gas hogs. Also hard to work on. Dang, have three videos, but won't load. Boy they sure sound cool!

    8th Annual Square Body Farm Gathering Richmond Indiana

    I have toyed with hosting a small gathering at my farm. Have 230+ acres, bordered on three sides by Game Dept, Forest service and DNR land. Great off road, drive till you run out of gas and never hit blacktop.

    Daily driver turbo

    Concurrent with the engine swap, the body work and paint hopefully will be getting close to done. Since I like mechanical stuff, I will do that first, then the frame/body etc. I am buying a new American Autowire harness, I have used them before, and that will upgrade everything electrical. I...

    Daily driver turbo

    Thanks Shawn. Like I said, I am a newby when it comes to turbos. Only one I have at the moment is on my trusty John Deere tractor. Never had one, just studied books, and now forum's to learn. I am real good at building engines, maybe someday even the VW wont kick my a___, and I like tuning and...

    Well Bextreme04, ya just never know. Hey I might get it done and not like it, but I'm thinking I will. I will build for boost, whether I will run a bunch remains to be seen. Thanks for the trans info, I have been looking into it, bought a few books to help with the build, but any and all chime...

    Daily driver turbo

    The 4l80e was based off then TH400, And the trans guy, (me) is thinking better buy good billet shafts, and all new internals built for power. I have not built a 4l80e, but the TH350 I built for the BBC is hanging in there after shredding two sets of tires. I tell myself I gots (yes gots!)...

    The motor also has ARP bolts for the mains, and heads. New oil pump, the late model Hyd lifters, and good timing chain. May need a pan, we will see.

    Daily driver turbo

    I am undecided about the crank, as I have not had a chance to tear down the engine, hopefully soon, though I am in the middle of an engine rebuild on my good women's VW. If I stroke it, it will be to 4.00 stroke, 4340 crank, many good mfg out there.

    I have already gone through the 14 bolt FF and the D44 front, think I am good there. I will use the truck intake, and FYI Heads flow 320.

    4) While the stock rods are pretty good, you know how it is..."lets just turn it up a little bit more," So I will use these 6.125 rods. Tried to get a good pic of the porting job...

    I have addressed most of the weaknesses of the LQ or LS motor. 1) Trunnion kit, 2) pistons, will use a quality 2618 big dish piston, target compression ratio 8.5 ish. 3) iron heads, replaced by these 317 74cc CNC ported heads. Porting done by Katec, $500 + shipping. The valve job was done at the...

    Here are some doner engine pictures, out of a 1999 2500, all wiring, ecm, trans, complete for $1500. The tailshaft on this trans will be replaced with the Transdap unit, thereby allowing the trans to bolt to the 205 TC.

    Daily driver turbo

    Here are a couple engine pics. 1999 LQ4, the big boost queen. 4l80e transmission. I have purchased a transdap to mate the 4l80e to my 205 TC. The 205 modifications will be input shaft and larger bearing. This will require the TC teardown, and case boring to fit the larger bearing. While in there...

    Daily driver turbo

    My 454 in the K20 is awesome, except the gas mileage. That excuse brings me to this subject, LS swap with a single turbo. I am a machinist by trade, 40 years, retired. However a longtime shop where I trade needed a machinist, so now I am the guy that does all the internal work, (bore, hone...

    454 in 79 K-10. Engine specs

    Love the 454, but seems like the ford guys around here have more money, as I did the internal work on a .030 429, and a .040 460, this week. 4.401 finished bore...About the same size as Double D's, in case Idahovette has trouble with the numbers...Hey Perry.

    Anybody recognize these seats?

    I have those same seats in my 85 c20, I like then, very comfy, and just dig the real wood center section. I'm thinking I will swap them into the 73K20. Rusty's right the tubing is square! I thought they were a Silverado option...

    I've come here to complain!

    Some of the same stuff happened to me. I just kept driving it, and some of them fixed themselves.
