Many people are using the truck manifolds flipped over to exit forward and feed a front mounted turbo so you can use what is on the motor all ready. You can make 600 rear wheel HP with an inexpensive Brazilian made Master Power MP70 turbo a cheap $150 intercooler, 50 pound injectors and a Z06 Vette cam & springs. No other mods needed to the engine. Stepping up to an MP76 turbo will give you a little more power ~650 rwhp. These are from an F-body site but you can get the basic idea of the system and what needs done from them. http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/11001510-post5.html http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/forced...turbo-kit.html http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/forced...t-up-faqs.html http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/forced...o-numbers.html http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/forced...l#post11001510 This is the setup I am working towards to replace the aging big block in my Camaro.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
I'm keeping my 700r4 in my swap and was wondering how yours seems to be holding up? I had mine built by Phoenix Transmissions last year.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
It is doing good. I can make 4th slip but that is why you are not supposed to punch it in 4th. Only did it 2 times.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
Its the circular thingy on the passengers side of your trans. Remove retaining ring, cut seal, old servo comes off. Then install new servo with seal and replace retaining ring.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
I bought this kit for my pickup. Had to use a pretty large spacer to get it to clear the distributor, but other than that I am happy.
http://store.spectreperformance.com/...6.0.0.0?pp=35& I would be careful buying something for a specific vehicle when you have a different motor swapped in. The throttle body could be fore or aft far enough to cause problems with the fit when compared to a SBC and carb. Maybe something like this? http://store.spectreperformance.com/...6.0.0.0?pp=35& It would certainly work, and you could use the spot for the factory fresh air intake on the radiator support.

They all look hard to clean to me! All would look slick though...

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
First off, awesome build thread.
I know this is kinda off topic but I've read through your thread a couple of times and cant find the answer. I plan on doing a very similar swap in my K5 while keeping the 700r4 and using the dirty dingo mounts. Did you have to modify your engine cross member at all? Use an aftermarket one? Thanks |

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
No.. there is not a lot of room. Mine is less then 1/2 inch from hitting it. That is the front crossmember. It does not have one in the rear or under the engine. Did not see how close it was tell after it was all done. No big deal tho. Has not ben hitting for the last few months. It is mostly the 2wd trucks that have crossmember problems.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
I do like the factory wheels in that pic but they would be so far in side my fender it would look funny to me. I want them to be wider too. 8-10 inches wide. I will have to modify any center cap i get with any of the 3 wheels i picked. No big deal.

They were never meant for wide off road tires from the factory but I have seen some pretty big tires on them on K2500 trucks running around town. Haven't been able to get the tire size off any yet though so I don't know what size they were. They looked about 33x12.50 or so in size.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
I would love some h2 wheels but the ofset is way off. They are one of the cooles wheels i have seen. When you win the lotto you could send a set of the extra wide factory wheels to tyler tx for me. I have seen sone 35s on factory wheels but they look like a ballon on a pizza tin. Not that safe too.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
I believe I saw you in tyler the other day, your burban has a few surface rust spots on the paint on the passenger side, right?
