    What new tools have you got lately?

    I am building an LT1/L86 6.2 for my 2017 single cab Silverado and I needed to put some new o-rings on my injectors. I had to get this little kit to get them on. I guess that at 2100 psig fuel pressure you just can't roll them on with a little grease.

    Other Vehicles-I Have a Few

    The problem is that I want to build another one. For some reason I now want to build a Monte Carlo SS G body.

    Bye Bye Optima

    Hey. I currently own 5 Optima batteries. They are junk. Ever since they fired all of their American workers and moved south, they have turned to trash. I even had to buy the $300 Optima battery charger. They should change the Optima Challenge from a car event to an event to see whose car will...

    Putting dual tanks on c20

    Hey. Where do you live? I am about to take everything dual tank related off of my truck to install a single rear mount tank. I even have a new valve for the dual tanks.

    “ I do appreciate the 81-87” Hey. These are definitely my favorite front ends. Here’s a couple of pictures of mine. A lot of smoothing and shaping got me the look that I was going for.

    400 SBC Build

    Hey. I never saw what your budget is for your engine. Like mentioned above, a complete retro-roller cam kit is expensive at around $1,300 and AFR heads are about $1,800. So there’s $3,100 right there without even touching the engine. You can do a stock rebuild with the cam that you first...

    400 SBC Build

    Hey. I have had several 400 SBC engines. I have one right now in fact. It’s in my 1986 C10. I have done quite a bit of research on these and I have never had a problem with them. A big aluminum radiator will make sure that they run cool, even in the Houston heat. Here is what I did when I built...

    Oh, thanks for the likes. Here’s some big block inspiration if you like. Here’s a link to some very knowledgeable folks about this generation of cars. I know that at least one guy has a car like yours. Cheers. https://www.g3gm.com/forum

    '73 Chevelle SS Wagon (local find)

    Hey. I read through most of this post. I can attest that the stock Laguna noses are very heavy. I think the one on my car was over 150lbs. I swapped it out for a fiberglass nose. I know some people on another site that know all about the 73-77 GM cars. My friend has about 10 of them. Here’s a...

    Dual tank issue

    Hey. It could be that your valve is not moving all the way to the next tank. The gas that we have now starts separate out and it can cause some sticking inside the valve. I don’t drive my truck very much at all, but when I do, it never wants to swap tanks. I got so ticked off with it I just...

    6 Speed Swap

    Hey. Silver Sport just sent me the manual. The only reference it makes is using a template on your original shifter hump. Well, I don’t have that so I am go to start my search for one. He is also putting together a quote for everything that they offer just to see what I am looking at. Like I...

    6 Speed Swap

    T56 second gen Camaro! Hell yea. I used to have a 1970 Camaro. I was going to go all in on that car. That’s a completely different story there. On my Laguna I built up a complete frame and dropped my body onto that. I had made all of my measurements before I did that and then I fabbed...

    6 Speed Swap

    I am curious about the transmission tunnel. I need to do some research to see if it needs to be modified. Here’s a couple of pictures of what I had to do to get the T56 Magnum to fit my Laguna. It was some pretty major surgery.

    6 Speed Swap

    Hey C5surgen. This is a longer term plan right now. I just removed the complete interior from my 2001 SS so I can install a mini tub kit. That’s taking up my spare time at the moment. I actually did a 6speed conversation on my 1976 Laguna S3 and it turned out super nice. Lots of floor mods...

    6 Speed Swap

    Hey. Thanks for the replies. I am still in the planning stages of this so I have an open mind right now. More than likely I would just get a brand new kit with driveshaft and clutch and go from there. I have been thinking about installing bucket seats so that is a good thing to bring up. I built...

    6 Speed Swap

    Hey. I did some searching but I didn’t find what I was looking for. I have a 1986 Silverado regular cab short bed and I am toying with the idea to swap out my 700R4 for a TREMEC T56. I have looked around on YouTube but I haven’t seen much there either. My engine is a 406 with AFR 195 Eliminator...

    Hello, new to the forum

    “I'm 46”. Stop bragging young man! Welcome from Texas. I like the picture of that little black truck. Show some more of that one. Cheers.

    Holy Grail of Squarebodys

    I totally agree. Make that truck and make a short bed single cab with an LT4. I have toyed with the idea of an LS3 6-speed in mine.

    Here’s one you guys might like. I saw this in the parking lot on a big job a few years ago. It’s a double cab, short bed, complete Duramax swapped 86. They swapped the entire frame out with the 2500HD along with the interior. He said it was 550hp with 1100lbs/ft torque.

    I have a 2017 RCSB with a 5.3. I bought it about 7 months ago too be just a daily driver. Since I have had it, I added a K&N intake, Texas Speed long tube headers, hood rat cat back, 4.10 gears, plugs,wires, custom tune, and 2” rear lowering shackles. I also swapped out the wheels, did a...
