I gather that the new differential is a Moser Dana 60?

This turd is getting a turbo in the next month or so if I can find the time. Neighbor down the street has a 66 c10, I never looked twice at them till I was around his, Now i might like them more than 67-72s. Looking good man, keep up the good work, let me know how that moser works out.

Nice work/build! I oredered a 31"x12x3" intercooler for my 65 but it will be too much hacking on the rad support. Yours looks like it will fit well with minimal cutting of support. Thx for info

Re: Another turbo ls
 

Good Job! But I wish you would clean up that nasty ass engine!

Re: Another turbo ls
 

This is my 31x12x3 intercooler - sliced the vertical parts of the rad supports to fit the ends, but it will fit behind an un-cut '61 grill.

Looking good.

Between moving and life this was put on hold but I've finally got to give it some attention mostly part gathering but I did cut some plates for the TRZ anti roll bar

I had a little time today to start mocking up the new FSP log manifold and 4" down pipe. Kinda glad things are going slow, this is a much nicer setup.

Re: Another turbo ls
 

Looks like it's going to be a runner. Nice so far.

Re: Another turbo ls
 

I was able to get my Aldan coil overs mocked up today :metal:

Nice progress!

Re: Another turbo ls
 

I do not have turbo on my LS but i do have the Holly Wire system. All in except for a few hard wires. From what i have heard it is a great system.

Re: Another turbo ls
 

What rear end cover is that?

Re: Another turbo ls
 

Nice! Who's front coiler over kit did you use?

Re: Another turbo ls
 

I'd like to see a 3/16" or 1/4" thick ring at the bottom of the old spring pocket to spread the load of the coilover mount over such thin sheet metal.

Re: Another turbo ls
 

Thanks. Thats the Viking shock CPP kit but the 550lb springs it came with were way too stiff so those are 350lb QA1s

Re: Another turbo ls
 

Ive done this with A bodys that leave with the wheels up never had a problem

Re: Another turbo ls
 

Absolutely.

But also..... for how long?

You don't have to do any of it, but from an engineering standpoint, that's a lot of point load on a relatively small surface area.

Re: Another turbo ls
 

My El Camino is still running that same set up to this day just with a different owner ... that's over 12 years no issues.

That pic doesn't show good enough but mount on the coil over is actually wider then the flat surface of the control arm therefore distributing the weight across the old spring pocket

Re: Another turbo ls
 

Got some more of the exhaust mocked up, now I'm debating where to put the electric cut out...

I was able to get a bit done last weekend, got the old trailing arm cross member out and the POL one in and the Moser trailing arms installed
