Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Iceburgh, that is too bad. Hopefully the MSD will work well. I don't remember, was your engine stock? I've had very few problems with the LS in my 56 though it is a stock 5.3.
Brad, that would be awesome! You are welcome anytime. I really need to piece my front radiator support together to see if my accessories will fit. Hopefully I don't need to slide the engine back more and want to verify. And then lift the body again to install the air tanks on the outside of the frame. And then...and then...etc infinity. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Very cool looking gas fill solutions guys. Thanks for sharing. Here is one of Crafty B's caps.
Marc - what are the stock harnesses going for? I figured they weren't worth much. |

I took my son Austin out in the camaro for some burn outs before I rip the motor out. I'm impressed with the power of a stock LS1. He enjoyed that. At one intersection we whipped it around and did 2 dounts. I also degreased the motor and washed The camaro to get some pics for listing it for sale after I pull what I need. Hey what exhaust manifolds work best with the stock frame? Marc

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
I am going to try Camaro manifolds to see if they fit. May need to angle mill them like Farmer Sid did, which will kick them in toward the block a little more.
Thanks for the bounce back on the harness. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Thanks 99, I call that being in the broke vortex, when everything around you breaks, consuming all your time, energy and money. It happens from time to time and is magnified by having so many vehicles. At least the house appliances are behaving... for now.
Oh yeah, the Grasshopper mower is burning oil and will be overhauled this winter. Should be good for a long time since it only has 1,350 hours on it. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Doug, just be happy that you have the skills to repair all that stuff. Don't blame the 48 Burb for being miffed, get back to work

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Will do Jim. I cheated ...took the tire and the truck to dealership to fix. Glass guy is here replacing windshield. Prioritizing my time to be able to do some burb work. Will get back on it!
Sid, looking forward to seeing how your headers fit. I will throw these Camaro manifolds on to see how they look. Iceburgh, Did you have to trim the frame just a bit? Also, did you get your electronics on your LS worked out? Back to the shop for me.... |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
2010 Camaro manifold on the left side needs this much angle to almost clear the frame.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
And with the angle, the manifold hits the block. So, I'm going to go with some headers and use these manifolds on a different project.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
I'm curious if my Camaro manifolds will work with the PB set up. I remember one of the changes they made that delayed things was a change to allow a more flexibility on header selection. Fingers crossed that I can use the stock manifolds. I wont know for quite a bit.
Marc

Saturday morning planned the day in the shop, then wife reminded me we had a funeral to go to. Leaving at 9. OK, lunch in town, back home at 1:30. Sit down in recliner for just a minute before hitting the shop. Mistake...two hours later I headed for the shop. Ugh. Not much done again...removed a broken bolt from the radiator support. Need to mount it up to see if I will have room for the accessory drive. Don't want to move the engine back unless necessary. Can't really tell yet. This is the truck water pump. I will put the inners on, add the accessories, mock up or buy the radiator assembly and then decide. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Well that worked pretty slick. Any progress is good progress. My Sundays are usually really good days for me to spend in the garage. Only problem was I was very FESTIVE at a holiday party last night and just felt like holding down the couch today......
Keep at it Marc

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has had problems with headers...
It seems like we all do! Hope you find the right ones the first time ![]()

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Don't know how the C6 compare to the Camaro manifolds but the flange is higher and closer to the block with the Hookers. Got anymore pics of the flange area on both sides?

Mark, Thanks for the lead on the headers you used on John's Dodge. I'll look them over to see if they will work. Like you mentioned, the engine mounts would probably need to be moved forward. |
