Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

Yea, its vintage air,at the time it was the least exp. billet style drive syst. available. The one dissapointing thing is the water pump pulley keeps fading from black to a brown color,they warranteed the first one but its happened again.I figure when I get some time I'll send it to my own anodizer & let him take a crack at it.Other than that issue its nice

Every anodized part I've seen fades if it gets a lot of UV exposure. Some parts take longer than others, but it happens to all of them.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

Installed a Modified 3/8" hose barb in my factory rad for the steam port. Just brazed it on like you would do with copper pipe. Then hit it with black spray paint for giggles. I still need to clean it up and repaint it before it goes on.

Cost a total of $2.79 from lowes and about 20 minutes of work. I like this better than the Jags That Run adaptor.

Yep, I know about that, Just didn't want to do it. Same amount of work and same amount of money. This also allows for the steam port line to be as close to the highest point in the system as possible.

Air conditioning bracket is from kwikperf.com I have not had any issues with it though truck isn't done so haven't driven it much. When I had a rough tune done I was told it doesn't really do much other than restrict it basically. Not sure if I will change it or not. Not intake tubes taking up space and cluttering so to speak. We will see.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

My truck has a 6.2 in it, over all gets about 16 MPG, thats with a lot of "spirited" driving. If it`s a straight road trip it will get almost 20.
