I bought my LS6 shortblock for 2K. It came with the oil pan and fully assembled. I got my 5.3/4.8 heads for $150 + shipping. Got the intake manifold, PCM, injectors and fuel rail, and throttle body as part of a trade for my 7M and blown R154.

That really does not pose a problem IJ, as that can easily be fixed. I do not own a welder so I have someone else, the guy who sold me the engine help me as far as welding goes. He can cut and weld the tunnel up need be. Being that I am not using any of the original interior pretty much...

With poly bushings you do not need to torque the bolts with the car on the ground. That is only for the rubber "twist" type bushings. However if you are skeptical you could always use a jack under the lower control arms to put weight on that corner of the car and then torque the bolts, would...

Forklifts are different from one another. But so is a 7MGE and a 7MGTE. It's just about how different they are. I will tell you, just because it's a forklift does not mean it follows different laws of physics. Besides, some older forklifts from Hyster use a small block Chevy 350, thats a...

I know exactly what you meant. I did say the auxiliary O2 sensors, same thing as secondary in this case. Now as I was saying. What you would be doing is telling the ECU what your target A/F is whatever, 14:1. So you tune for 14:1 and wind up having it not matter if it's in open or closed...

I assume you are refferring to the girl in the pic. No, that is not me. That is my girlfriend.

Perhaps your BOV is toast? Do you leak boost when you hit it? Otherwise...I say check your O2 sensor. If all else fails, just consult the TSRM.

Did I swap it? No, not in that context. I do however have an LS6, which I need a T56 transmission for and I am going to put it in.

Thats a damn good way to say it "bandaid".

Ok, do you understand how a transmission works? If 2nd gear is grinding and only second, then chances are it is not your clutch not disengaging. It's probably your synchros, and changing to certain gear lubes may help. However it will not solve the problem, you need new synchros. Other...

Well, to swap in a manual you are going to need a clutch pedal assembly and a master cylinder. Also a line groing from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder. A manual flywheel instead of a flexplate and the rest should generally be considered part of the transmission assembly. I would...

The 7M is definitly what I would do in your case. Yes it is mostly polug and play, it will mate up to your tranny and mounts. Some electrical items need to be addressed however. The 7M is far easier and is cheaper to get then the 1J and has more displacement. What is the saying...? There is...

I do not beleive heads need to be machined nor blocks for head gasket service. I work at RDO Material Handling as a forklift technician. I have done a few head gaskets on ICE forklifts. I only scraped the surfaces with a razor and a vacuum right next to it to suck up the scraps. That is...

Sounds interesting and has some merit to it perhaps. However simply removing the O2 sensor will throw an engine light and likely also throw off the ECU. Maybe a better thing to do is what a lot of LS1 guys do with their auxiliary O2 sensors. Put in O2 simulators, make the ECU think you are...

Was the 2J on stock turbos? How did you clear the rear turbo of the firewall? Also, by "202 heads" do you mean 202cc intake volume? If so, that is not much to brag about on a 400CID. And mot telling us what transmission you used takes truth further away as that would be an important part of...

This is the section "Other Engine Tech", so does my LS6 count? Anyhow, pretty sure on going with the TPIS ZL-11X cam. The "largest" cam TPIS sells that will work without different internals or fly-cut pistons. The specs are as follows: Duration - 220 Intake / 224 Exhaust (Obviously...

Well I was assembling my front brakes and realized a rough spot in one of the brand new wheel bearings. Now I have to pull the steering knuckle, bring it into work and go through the pain of removing the defective bearing and putting a new one in. Luckily I have a warranty on the bearing.

Thats just Nash, he always has grammar like that. Kinda funny though how people don't need to have good grammar but you can still be able to tell exactly what words they were trying to type. BTW I would say the best way to cut the holes is with high pressure water. Little if any heat...

My car may be Jim's old car. Though Jim did have a Yellow MKIII which he sold to one of his friends... I never knew he had a two-tone, but maybe he did own my car at one point.

Yes, Jim has a 554hp 409CID Camaro. He also has his dad's old AMX and is putting my old 7M in a Cressida. His brother does have a MKII and it's sweet. He cut off everything from the firewall forward aside from rame rails and fabricated his own frame/suspension components and has a 7MGTE in...
