*** Some updates: Ernie helped me get my son's PB chassis back together last weekend. This weekend I started breaking down the motor for the L99 to LS3 conversion (cam/valve spring swap and AFM/VVT delete) with the help of another buddy Joe. We got the cam installed and removed the AFM lifters and installed the new LS7 lifters. I also replaced the valley cover with an LS2 style, so all of the AFM stuff is gone! Then we discovered we needed to pull the oil pan in order to install the new chain guide and finish up the cam install. So I decided I would wait on that until I got the new valve springs installed and put the heads back on. I'm waiting on a valve spring tool to finish that up. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.... Any ways, here's a few pictures of the last 2 weekends worth of work. |

Re: 68 S/C update.....
You might as well drop the truck off with Todd and have him repaint it while its down........ You know your going to do it. Might as well. Patina is cool for a cruiser or weekend warrior but you know what your building.......

Re: 68 S/C update.....
How many engines have you built? I want to swap to an LS series engine, but don't feel like I'll ever be able to afford a pre-built engine. How hard would you say it is to build an LS? I'm a little more worried about selecting the right parts than assembling it, but overall I'm a bit intimidated.
By the way, I like what you've done so far. |

I wouldn't call this building a motor since I didn't change the crank and pistons, but it's about as close as you can get without doing that part, :D. |
Re: 68 S/C update.....
Cool! Thanks for the videos. Maybe I'll be able to source a short block, or even a long block and go from their. I'll do some more research. Thanks for the help.

How much room do you have between the high hump and your 6L80? Can you snap a few pictures? Thanks, Rob |
