Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK
alright, got most all the suspension mocked-up...the rear also has the hidden receiver hitch set-up....fully dumped the lience plate 'box' is about 4.5" from the ground.....looks pretty cool IMO... with it being that low the relocation bracket from the ECE panhard bar kit wont work... it locates the panhard bar almost touching the bottom of the frame (second to last pic).. so im gonna make a bracket to locate it to the actual trailing arm, lowering the attaching point to a better position for a truck being lowered this much (last pic).....

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK
Lookin' good! A set of 1.5" or 2" lowering blocks would fix your panhard interference problem and allow for more air in the bags at ride height. This will give a better ride and help have your bags at the correct installed height- this will be especially true if you are running drop spindles up front.
How did you get that compressor to fit so nicely?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK
Agree with GringoLoco. Thats what I did to mine. I got the blocks and ubolts from CPP. This is the best pics I have of the setup.

You have a little leeway in how tall the bag can be, but not much. Most (2600lb)bags are designed to be installed at ride height at 6" tall. You can waiver either way by a 1/2" or so, but outside of that they will not ride as well. You can use the blocks to keep the bags at 6" installed, but ride 2" lower than you would without them. Think of the bag as a non-adjustable coil spring when at ride height. The pressure will vary based on load, but the overall height should be 6". Clear as mud? I was asking about the A/C compressor. It seems to fit very well. Is it smaller than the usual truck compressor?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK
the a/c compressor and mounting bracket are for a truck/suv....dunno why you have any problems with mounting it there... ive done a couple of these swaps and they all tuck right there in the frame rail nicely...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK
getting some more work done....got the trans cooler installed, drilled and located the trans x-member, mounted the rear hight sesnors, and a little more cab body work.... the lwr part of the dr. side cowl was roted out, so it was cut out and a new peice made......
also the truck oil pan was traded out for a f-body pan....now the pan is bout 1.5 inches above the front x-member, just how we wanted it... |

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK
and now for the heart of the beast......
this is a 6.2L with a 6L80E trans... for those who arnt familur with these GEN4 engines, this is a big bad mamajama, it has 403 HP and 418torque stock with varitable valve timeing (VVT)... the 6L80E trans is a automatic 6 speed with 2 overdrives.... but this isnt gonna be a stock engine when we're done with it, so more HP will be gained here is some pics of the engine and trans....also included is the 6l80e compaired to a 4l60e trans...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
What did you get the 6.2L come out of. Can you spill the beans on the mods yet.... Is it DOD??

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
6.2 out of a denali.....mods, cant be spilled yet, but you'll see....the DOD, so to speak, is what they call variable valve technoligy (VVT) what this does is adjust the cam by advancing/retarding it while driveing...it does this on both the intake and exhaust...this, in effect, will give the engine good MPG, torque, and awsome driveability.
(in words of shaun @ mastmotorsports) The VVT phases the cam across the RPM range to effectively improve the volumetric efficiency of the engine. Think of it as adjusting the installed centerline of the cam for optimum performance while the engine is operating. It allows the engine to produce better torque for a given RPM that would not normally be possible in a fixed cam application Last edited by 68 short step; 05-06-2008 at 07:06 AM. |

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
So are we to assume that dod and vvt mean the samething or are they 2different terms?

DOD is supposed to delete the firing of sequential cylinders under "limited load" situations @ fixed-rate RPM. What I've read is this means it kills 4 of the 8 cylinders under consistent, constant, light load conditions which theoretically will increase mpg 10~15% on the highway. This seems like it would be tough for an aftermarket/non-mass produced application to maintain its funstionality.... IDK. The VVT adjusts the cam phasing so the motor is more docile @ idle (producing better efficiency & reduced emissions) yet can maximize output as the cam timing changes throughout the RPM range. This should make an already efficient engine even better (potentially more power per unit of fuel burned or less fuel to match current power levels). Am I close 68ss? I'm just curious how these things will respond to the 'tuners' tricks. In communications w/Don, he seems very optimistic.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
you are right on about that scoti.....
i come to realize there are 2 diffrent L92 out there. the first style has the DOD the second (later) has VVT.... this engine is the later.....there is currently 1 aftermarket cam manufacturer... and tuneing is bout 8X harder then the 'normal' LS1 computer.... there is more tables to mod and diffrent tables at diffrent RPM/load/ temp/ octane leveles etc............ |

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
Hhmm. . ..... We need one of these DOD systems w/some turbos.
Switches to 4cyl mode on the road w/slight boost to keep the power levels like a mild 5.3L & then w/a romp of the pedal, it comes alive on both cylinders & boost like a LS7 on roids. Mo powa.
