Re: 68 S/C update.....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Dang!....I need to pay more attention. Really looking good Rob.....gonna have a bunch of hp and decent mileage to boot....if you can keep the "go" pedal off the floorboard!!! Hard to beat LS motors for the potential performance and efficiency.

:lol:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but when I go to look at your videos on instagram I see the image, but it won't play. Any ideas??

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks!

Not sure. It should have a play button in the middle of the picture.

Re: 68 S/C update.....

Huge step Rob!! Stoked for you!!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thats Awesome!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Nice!!!!!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Rob this thing has come so far since I first seen it! You have put together one sweet ride, that's for sure..

I am going to read back through the thread but what track bar did you wind up using? How is the clearance on the differential cover? I was going to use the CPP "bent" one but it's not giving me very much room at all, especially as it moves some with suspension travel range and any side load.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Crappy picture, but it's proof Rob's Farm Truck is moving under blown LS3 power! We took 'em out for a ride and stopped by the cruise night in P'cola. Even in it's unfinished state Rob's truck was a hit. Sweet ride!!:metal:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Looks like fun!!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Congrats, Rob!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks!

Well, not totally worked out, but it is getting closer....:).

Me too!

Thansk!

Thanks for all the help Ernie!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! ECE track bar with Porterbuilt lower trailing arm shock relocator.

:metal:

Thanks!

Thanks!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

wow, very cool. Inspiring me to get back to work on mine.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Hart Rod, if I remember correctly you are running 3.08 gears right? If so, how do you find them on the freeway. I think I am running the same and feel mine bogs a little on the freeway when I give it a touch of gas. If you are running 3.08 did you recalculate the computer for the tire and gear ratio and shift points?? If so, how does it run with the gears? I still need to have my trans computer updated for all this stuff and just wondering how it is working out for you?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks!

I've got 4.11's with a 31" rear tire and I like the feel so far. It's real easy to change the setup, all you do is update your gear and tire size and the software does most of the work for you. You can then adjust the shift points if you want them higher or lower.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Cool, thanks for the reply. Question, does your transmission or possibly engine sound like it is spooling up when you stomp on it? Mine does and just wondering g if it was normal?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Great job rob......

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Rob is there a specific radiator you recommend for an ls swap?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Turned out great rob..
