    Ls1 block score!

    The biggest thing I do not like about the aluminum LS1 is the fact that you can not get much of an over bore on the stock cylinder liners. Seems like .010 is the max, if that. If you need to go bigger than that, the block needs to be resleeved, which gets expensive! If the bores are still...

    Time to fix the Blazer

    Are you still running the TBI on your Blazer? Or did you build a Quadrajet for it? Just curious!

    gauges

    Maybe we should just throw out our old factory piece of crap gauges, not even TRY to fix them, and install a bunch of over-priced Auto Meter gauges in a "custom" housing. That's what we should do...... :party36:

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Not really, no. I have read many reviews about their 2.0 to convert from a carb, but not the operating system to replace the one controlling your TPI. All the reviews I have read about the throttle body type seem to be really positive, so I don't see why the MPFI control system would be any...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    My truck may be in winter storage, but I am still trying to get some things moving. I sent the factory tach I have to a guy in Louisiana to hopefully get fixed. When that comes back I plan to finally get the tach cluster all set and ready to go in the truck in the spring. For a while now I...

    Not everyone is on board the LS train. Honestly, a vehicle with an LS swap now gets LESS attention from me personally. Seems like everybody and their mother is doing it. Albeit, it is a fantastic swap for great power! Good call, thanks for making me do better research. Seems that the...

    Found on eBay Listings

    What a piece of crap. It's got a chip in the paint and an LT1. What was he thinking?!? J/K.... That's a pretty nice truck!

    Z24, finally own one

    That is freaking cool man! There is something about the simple body of cars from that era that I like.

    Dynamic EFI - Anyone using it?

    I thought I would revisit this thread again. I have been on thirdgen.org a lot lately, and everyone on there that is using simply raves about it! It sounds like the best way to get away from burning chips. It also has a ton of other features for data-logging and tuning. Honestly, it has...

    Driver4r's Monte

    You asked, so I will give you one point of view... Don't get all pissed off at me for this... Little jabs like the question above. You paint yourself as knowing everything and nobody else having a clue about things. You are making a big effort to try and flaunt the knowledge you think...

    Tack Filter

    I am running a Sunpro tach with no filter. So you can run a tach without a filter, yes. I am hoping to get an original tach in my truck at some point, and I do plan on putting a filter on it. I was going to just get a filter from a different application around the same year, like a A- or...

    This is wrong. Your stock heads are 76cc chambers, which produce about a 8:1 CR. Putting on 64cc chamber heads should RAISE your CR almost a full point to 8.8:1. Run a thin .015 head gasket and you could raise it another half a point, depending on your current head gasket thickness.

    Just let me throw this out there... If you have the $$ to go EFI and throw boost at it... Why the #E!! are you thinking of keeping a STOCK bottom end??? That makes absolutely NO sense. A stock bottom end may survive at 7-8 psi, but you are going to need to be very good with your...

    Too much lately... Sorry for stringing you along so long. Truck is out of site, out of mind. You can let someone else have it Mr. Clean. Plastic ones are for aftermarket windows, which my Dad confirmed is whats in my truck when I asked him. Turns out I can find the plastic ones very...

    I am with Rich. You are probably giving up anywhere from 30-60 ft/lbs of torque by going with the cam you have. A different cam will give you a bigger monster torque motor. Don't go too big on the runner size for the heads (180cc, maybe 190cc?), dual plane intake, 1 5/8" headers and dual...

    Dynamic EFI - Anyone using it?

    I am NOT using it, but I did run across it in my EFI research recently. This is what I got from it... Basically you are doing away with the need to burn chips for the earlier computer controlled systems, think ODB1. This brings you up to a flash type re-writable computer, think the newer...

    LED lightbar

    Before you go spending big money on an LED bar, do some work on your stock lights first, IMO. That way you have much improved lighting for everyday situations, not just the "long dark road" times. On my '79, I bought a wiring harness that put a relay in place to control the power to the...

    You don't happen to have a working latch for a sliding rear window do ya? Mine has been broke for a while, and I have not found anyone that makes them new.

    Irish's pickup from hell, the 454SS.

    Thanks man..... you have me thinking about EFI 24/7 now! Damn you! I have been doing more research and came up with this... TPI actually has two different intake bolt patterns for the different middle bolt angles. But... it's probably NOT how we all think. The Corvettes used the old 45*...
