Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
that's a nice little mod.
WIth the shape that mine are in I might do the same, but I would have to be running A/C since I will have no other ventilation... Whats the plan for the wires through the firewall?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
getting some progress....
got a head start on the wiring of the truck....im gonna run the wires for the air ride sensors through a bulkhead ,in the cab, to the air ride computer....also got the electric brake system (no vacuum booster), and started to moc it up.....but before i can install in, i neeed to make the driver side firewall smooth and symetrical with the pass. side......also still chipping away at the dash...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
Lookin good! Another question about the air vent/cowl area. Since you have the air vents blocked off, couldn't you have just left the whole bottom of the cowl area off? Just asking b/c it seems like trash could still get caught it there. If it was completely open it would be more likely to just fall out. I think your way will work fine, b/c I'm assuming your ride won't be parked under a tree much.
 I'm just brainstorming for myself...Oh and what is that electric brake setup u have?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
68 short step,
Looking good. I wish my wife knew what a welder was.  Question about the tranny. Will they fit any LS series engines? I've got an LS1 and I'd really like the potential fuel economy of the 6sp and I don't want to do a standard. Any idea what kind of compatibility issues I might have? I currently have a 4L60E.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
the electric brake system works like this....it has a pump that boosts the pressure to 1800-2000PSI and then pumps it back into the master cylinder...so when you push the brakes you get the benifit of all that pressure, just like a conventional power brake system with the booster.......

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
That brake setup looks killer, but there's no price listed. That usually means it's outta my price range.

Oh sorry 71Hulk... I wondered that when I posted it, but was too lazy to go back and read. LOL Well, I will definitely admire it!
