    power steering hoses

    You can use any line for the return as long as its oil resistant. For the pressure you can't use the malibu one because its not metric, and the power steering pump is. You can try to use a truck hose but it all depends what and where everything is.

    Flywheel question...

    It all depends on what flywheel and trans you are using. On my LQ4/4L60E I needed the dished flexplate, and then the spacer after the flexplate

    1980 malibu LS swap project

    I don't think that will work out too well. The BRP mounts lift the engine up a little bit compared to the Trans-dapts

    Last time I went to the track it ran 11.83@115 with a 1.71 60'. I was on Nitto NT555r's and I wasn't doing nearly enough time in the burnout box before staging. Car put down 378rwhp on the dyno. Stock bottom LQ4, Katech rod bolts, PRC stage 2.5 243's with Z06 valves, PRC .675 springs, TR224...

    ls first crank..fail

    Crank relearn would just result in bad misfires but it would still start. Check your spark and pull one of the plugs out and make sure they aren't fouled.

    fuel lines

    I'm making nearly 400rwhp with that filter and -6 braided nylon from the pump to the fuel rail with 30lb injectors. There are people making some pretty stout power with those filters. It's great for these swaps considering the filter regulates fuel pressure.

    Need g-body LSX Frame notch pics

    Yes only when running AC. I think both the truck and car compressors will fit with the BRP mounts but I'm not 100% sure, in the instructions they used F-body accessories.

    5.3L G-body Cutlass

    Just looked it up, the black wire also goes to the level sensor. You don't need the level sensor just incase you were unsure.

    Getting better 60'

    I saw these and was interested in them. However, I also read somewhere that using these along with the coil spring helper bags they will work against eachother? Another question I had is, would it be beneficial to get 15x8's (rear) and 15x4's (front) in a lightweight wheel for the track with...

    Getting better 60'

    I'll have to try a set of M/T's. I tried a set of slicks and the 60' stayed the same, yet the ET was down. I was also spinning on the slicks. The drag radials I really don't have a clear answer. I only made 10 runs alltogether with the car always changing things each pass. It seemed for the most...

    Getting better 60'

    The car is quick, but I feel there is a lot left including my 1.71 60'. The car ran 11.83@115 with that time. Stock springs, bilstein shocks, spohn rear sway, front sway removed, Nitto 245/50 nt555r drag radials, 3400lb car with 3.73. Since then I added some cheap 3-way adjustable shocks, and a...

    Thinking about Prostars, size ideas?

    Thanks for the response. I looked into it a little more and you're right, the majority of people use 4" bs on a 15x8. Oh well back to the drawing board. For anyone in the Chicagoland/NW Indiana area here's the listing, love the way the wheels look...
