    Speedhut speed box vss to mechanical

    Anyone have any experience with these? I just did my LS swap and thought it would be cool to have the mechanical speedo working. Not sure if it is worth 400 dollars though! https://speedhut.com/accessories/sensors/speed-sensors/speedbox-cable-included-gps-vss-to-mechanical-drive-speed-converter/

    Hey Florida guys, I have some 30-06 springfield for the garand or m1903. It is PPU, I have 460 rounds in an ammo can. I also have 100 rounds of old surplus ammo.

    steering options?

    So guys, hear me out for a sec. My el camino originally had factory PS. I liked it, it was nice but just for simplicity I left it out when I did my LS build. I still like the simplicity of my manual box but the Lares unit I bought from rock auto in just less than a year has a decent amount of...

    clunk!

    So as you all know I just finished my LS swap and I am noticing this clunk if I stab the throttle and I am coasting. Doesn't seem to care much about the rpm or speed but imagine you are crusing, let off and then instead of a light tip in you stab the throttle. The driveshaft is a new 4"...

    D-day anniversary

    Just a few minutes before midnight and the anniversary is over. I did not see anything on yahoo news ( i usually check that lib tard site for fun ) but I did see an article on Breitbart that said it is the second year that Biden fails to mention it. God bless those WWII vets, here and gone 🙏

    LS charging question...

    After my LS swap I was driving around and the hand held for the Holley terminator X was showing about 12.2 V for battery. When I put a volt meter on the back of the alternator it shows 14v, when I put it on the battery it shows about 13v. Just FYI, I have the original large red wire (factory...

    Couldn't help myself, new daily driver!

    I work from home, I really do not go many places far with my car and when I found out I could get 8k for my honda which I only paid 4k for I sold it and bought (saved) this car, got it for 4k. I remember these from high school and my buddy even had one! Found this local, 54k original miles and...

    Good experience with driveshaft shop in Tampa

    Even though this was a simple job I had a pleasant experience which I am finding is rare these days. I dropped off my 4 inch aluminum driveshaft to be shortened. Very nice guys, talkative and helpful. I got it back in less than 24 hours and for 100 dollars. Seems reasonable for a cut, weld...

    Where did you LS guys mount the ECU?

    Just curious. In my mustang it is under the passenger seat. I was wondering if in the el camino I could mount it inside like up behind the glovebox or something on the inside of the firewall? Thanks!

    Mig welders?!

    Background: I used to have a Lincoln 180 weld pak (ran on 220v) and I liked it. When I moved I ordered a Miller 141 which is household plug 120v but it has been on back order from where I ordered it and now they bumped it to june. I got a great price so I am trying to hold out but it is...

    LS steam port

    Happy Easter everyone. Question, anyone have any experience with these? On my LQ4 the factory has the back two blocked and the front two are being used. I am trying to see if I can avoid buying a radiator with the steam port and instead use this. I noticed a guy on youtube saying he used...

    Let’s talk LS intake

    So my 6.0 has the truck intake which I heard flows just fine but of course it is ugly and others flow better. @Nashville Cat mentioned ls3 intake from summit. Any other options? The sheet metal intakes? FAST? MSD? Or just leave it ugly and stock for now until I do a set of heads….

    1966 LS swap

    Here we go! 1966 el camino. I bought the 6.0 and 4L60e for 3500 delivered to my residential address. Honestly for the price I figured the engine would have been cleaner but I do have high expectations sometimes :) Here is the start. Empty engine bay and engine and trans. I did a clean...

    Bent frame

    So of course when I bought this car sight unseen ( my mistake ) the guy didn't disclose this and then of course after I got the car he was so shocked to hear that it had this damage, total POS. Anyway, the car drives fine, alignment was fine but it bugs me a little. I considered heating it...

    64-65 Chevelle, how different compared to 66?

    So I was looking at this kit. I noticed the company doesn't have anything for a 1966 chevelle (ls engine at least). I was wondering, why would this not work in a 66? I have been trying to call them all day and they are not answering.....curious..becuase the link says 64-67 but the description...
