Hey, they're both '79s too ;)

What about these? http://www.flynbye.com/catalog/i30.html They cost considerably more, but they're a bolt-on conversion for the 1LE (F-Body) rear disc brakes... supposedly... I just happened to come across the site. They also offer other caliper brackets (C4/C5/C6, and Z06 variants) to be used...

Mmmmmm.... oranger sherbet... I like the color! :D

I took some video with a little normal driving, and a couple hard launches/shifts today since it was warm :D Video may not be up yet, gotta edit it. http://maliburacing.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=78848

Yeah, it'll cost close to what it does for a complete kit. I've decided I'm sticking with a carb right now, and when I put everything in the '78 I'll probably pick stuff up for EFI, since that's what I'll be plumbing it for (semi-frame-off, putting an EFI tank/sender/lines/etc. in).

Alrighty, that's what mine came from ('78 or '79 v6 'Bu).

This will probably wind up costing more overall than those bulbs :lol: I've used the plug-in bulbs, but I'm not too thrilled with the light pattern they put out. I was contemplating maybe going with 3 strips on each side, the center being for running lights and a strip above/below for...

... another little project I was thinking of doing. At first I'd thought of using the trailer-style waterproof LEDs you get at most trailer supply stores/Autozone/etc... Then I started looking into LEDs and LED strips, turns out they make waterproof versions, but they're a little pricey...

It'll be just fine :) My 3-speed is 3.50:1, and so is the 4-speed. Do you know what gear set is in your 3-speed?

That Highway series harness looks very similar to some of the Ron Francis hanresses. http://www.ronfrancis.com/prodinfo.asp?number=XP-66

I also have my '78 sitting out, have yet to check the rear to see what it has... do you know what the G-Bodies had (I guess a better question would be which vehicles had the stronger/better posi)? There are several at the junkyards around here, I was thinking about running out & pulling covers...

Too much resistance actually. The hazards will probably blink fine, but the left/right flasher will probably blink very fast, if at all. Go here and search for RL-650: http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/commerce.cgi?product=CAR Or if you want to try Radio Shack, they'll have some...

This has turned into some good info for me as well :lol: Been tossing around the idea of a posi for the summer, but I'm not really ready to spend the $ on new axles yet (if I got axles I'd go with 28-spline, not really planning on any slick-mounted blasts at the strip). I've been looking at...

You'll probably need a dummy resistor for the blinkers to work right.

I have another set you can have! :roflback: After putting the Vortecs on I haven't look back, nor will I :P My old truck made a fair amount of torque with the 350 and 193s, but it was over so fast it wasn't a whole lot of fun.

Yeah, that's why I would likely just go with a home-port job on stock Vortecs (or Vortecs in general). If I was going for higher end I'd probably buy aftermarket.

That article in the July '05 issue of CHP. "King Vortec" http://www.chevyhiperformance.com/techarticles/148_0507_street_style_vortec_head_test/index.html

I have an article where they tested several as-cast Vortec style heads (GM and Edelbrock were in the lineup with a few others), and they all made nearly identical power. If you're interested I could try to find the article.

SO... Del-A-Lums for the rear... first off would the bushings be the same size for 7.5" and 8.5"? I wouldn't mind upgrading the bushings in the rear of the car, but I don't know if I can get a new set for all the way around. The car hasn't seen any track time, was driven daily last summer...

I'm still astounded at the power a stock LQ4 makes with just the carbureted intake and headers :D \:D/ I was looking into an LS swap last year, but the final cost of everything for bolting it in and having it drivable was just way outta my budget :( One day though.
