That looks very trick, it would be cool to see something like that in action :D

It's my understanding that's where the m/c will go. Check out John's site, I think there's something on there about it.

Actually, if you look at the rear bar on the S-10 Blazers (and Xtreme pickups, possibly others), you'll see they're mounted that way. The bar pivots inside two brackets bolted to the axle tubes, and the ends are connected to brackets on the frame. Think of the sway bar as a spring trying to...

If you buy the right stuff you pay... if you buy cheap stuff you pay eventually... :lol: I'm guessing you're buying all new parts? Your thread is legend btw :lol: ;) I bet some of the hydraulic guys can shed some light on the reinforcement issue, but I don't think there's that much pressure...

:roflback: :roflback: :roflback:

How 'bout talkin' to a dealer service department? :lol:

An easy way of figuring out which direction the threads are (I'm assuming they're the same on both Craig's & Phil's engines) is picture which direction the fan spins normally, and turn it the opposite direction :D

Subscribed :) X2 on what Craig said, it'd be a pretty easy swap runnin' the 2004R.

I've done a little looking, and I think you can get GN/T-Type axles for the rear, but if you're on a budget it may be counter productive, you'd be looking at over $200 from Summit, Jeg's, etc. I'd like to beef up the rear myself without spending a fortune, but not sure I'll be able to do it.

I don't know the cutoff years for the splines, but as far as a posi vs. a spool, a spool locks the axles 100% of the time, and won't let the inside tire turn slower on a turn. A posi/limited slip/etc. disengages so the wheels can turn independent of each other.

Energy Suspension? Looks identical to mine.

Re: 388bu's LQ4 swap thread I don't know many details about it, just that they went from something like 52 to 58. I remember reading about it in an article, I'll see if I can't find it somewhere... might be the article Car Craft did on swapping a Gen III into an A-Body (They put one in a...

Lookin' good :D I'm jealous you guys in the south can pick up these cars in such good shape compared to up here... :x

Re: 388bu's LQ4 swap thread I was gonna say about the only major issue you'd probably have to worry about interchange-wise would be the reluctor ring they changed one year for the crank trigger. I don't like drive by wire either, I like the cable more just because of the feel. I remember my...

May be time to go for an aftermarket bellhousing... Being cast aluminum it had to give sometime, especially with the beating you've put on it. Maybe a Lakewood or comparable bellhousing?

Have you guys all used the long tubes? I'm about done with long tubes personally, would rather use the mid length ones.

I came across a TKO 500 on Craigslist recently for $8xx. After a few e-mails I found out it was for a Ford :(

X2 :D You may get lucky & not break anything shrug.gif What do you have for control arms in the rear?

U B Welcome :D

Wow... wish I could get a free car like that :lol: ;)
