    I'm still around...

    Haven't been on here in a while. Still building weird stuff. Kei truck with C5 vette suspension and a supercharged LS in it (drove it to TX from NH), 61 Rambler wagon on a late model stock car chassis etc.

    The Spool Bus thrash

    Here is what about 11 of my friends and 3 strangers came up with in about 40 hours time. We thrashed on this 06 Chevy express van school bus that I got for $800. We chopped 55" out of the middle, added 2 $199 Ebay turbos, decapped the injectors, put a Walbro 450 pump in an impala SS fuel tank...

    What is this I found in the back corner of a shop?!

    That's an understatement! lol I'm considering doing a 60's era British Gasser style with it. I have a model A axle, 40 ford wishbone and spindles etc. Thought maybe a stack injected LS 4l60 combo and hide all the electrical bits.

    I'm thinking of turning my Byers CR90 into a gasser...front suspension is garbage anyways...

    What is this I found in the back corner of a shop?!

    As near as I can tell by sticking my head under it it looks like it was molded at the same time as the rest of the body. I'll be able to get a better look at it when I can get my lift cleared so I can put it up in the air

    What is this I found in the back corner of a shop?!

    So I contacted a couple of these sites and low and behold we have a winner! Geoff Hacker identified it as a Byers CR-90 which came out just after the first Devin came out. Word has it that Jim Byers liked the look of the Devin and tweaked it a little bit. The nose is slightly shorter, it's...

    Caution my friends!!!

    Let's see....13 tattoos, no facial hair (tried a goatee for a year but it was more because I was a lazy shaver) and by golly I'm turning into a hippie! My hair is almost an inch at the longest...**where's my clippers...(wanders away muttering)**[cl[cl

    Good website for LS swap info

    Keep the front ones (pre catalytic converters) and ditch the rear ones. O2 sensors are pretty specific to the year and engine size and can be identified by the plug on them IE: flat, square, trapezoid shaped etc. Many manufacturers make wold in O2 bungs so you can put them into your exhaust pipes

    LS power on a pallet!

    Yes that is correct. Up here you can get 4.8, 5.3 or 6.0 truck motors complete with all accessories, harness and pcm from $250-$800. Most people just thin out the stock harness from the donor car to make it a stand alone harness.

    LS power on a pallet!

    Just remember orange wires are 12+ all the time and the pink wires are key'ed power. Black or black with a white stripe is ground, purple is starter, tan is oil sender signal, and 2 or 3 extraneous wires for DLC, tach (white) and fuel pump relay control (green). Boom! you're off and...

    What Did Ya Get Done This Weekend?

    It's actually one of the easiest swaps going. 1" set back motor mount plates and it drops into the stock sbc location and mounts. The Silverado mechanical fan sits right in the 85 shroud like it's supposed to be there. Stock truck manifolds will work too with a slight frame trimming near the...
