What kind of mileage are you getting with that setup?

The best I've got so far was 14 mpg. The lowest was 8 mpg. Might get a little better once I get the carb tuned and if I keep my foot out of it.

Thanks, Bud!

They are the Pacesetter Trail Blazer SS headers. Didn't have to trim a thing. Only issue is where they end is going to be fun for the piping of the exhaust. Kind of close to the tranny x-member.

Solving the problem is half the fun!

We will have to get together sometime.

Good News. They are the only gauges I have found that I like for this project.

It's actually an aluminum colored rustoleum rattle can from O'Rellie's. Color turned out great and the can goes pretty far. Everything that is silver on the setup was done with one can and I still have some left. As always scrub-er-clean before you shoot!

Okay… I'm going to stalk your build page now! Looks great.

Jhancock · 09-30-2014, 04:25 PM

Are they a kit you can buy to do this that has all the parts needed

**Sac** · 10-10-2014, 10:53 PM

Nice truck. Take it you like LS swaps judging from your signature.

LS1Impala · 10-11-2014, 12:17 AM

Haha yeah I do...the Impala and Camaro have been on the hotrod power tour the last few years with minimal mechanical issues and great gas mileage. They run good and make great power!

Gobuffalo · 10-15-2014, 12:41 AM

Out with the old and in with the new!
LQ4/4L80E going in a 70 Suburban 4x4.
This has been an on going project for almost 3 years. It was really hard to cut off the brand new stainless exhaust to get this done. I liked all the horsepower of the big block. I hated the 6 mpg.

texasld · 10-15-2014, 02:27 PM

Thanks man.

They are the Proform LS valve covers. They have several colors. You also have to get some type of coil relocation bracket. I'm not a huge fan of the ones they sell. (Made to bolt to the intake side of the covers). I purchased some off of eBay that I'm going to hide somewhere in the frame rail. Check the last page of my build thread for the link and picture for the brackets I have. Make sure you are getting brackets for the truck coil packs if you are running a 4.8 or 5.3.

Rat72 · 10-16-2014, 12:52 PM

Shoved my LS2 back about 6 inches. It makes the weight distribution nice and makes room for the front axle to tuck up so I can keep the truck as low as possible. I'm getting 8 inches of compression and another 8 inches of droop with this setup.
