    Output shaft angle/pinion angle issues

    I'll try and post up a pic this week if I can get a good one. The car is in my dads garage so I'll swing by there in a day or so.

    Output shaft angle/pinion angle issues

    Ice man cross member. I bought it originally for my th350, and to make it fit the 400 I just had to move it back like 3 or 4 inches. Wasn't much difference in length due to the 350 being a long tail shaft.

    Output shaft angle/pinion angle issues

    Yeah, I've got Ls1 engine plates and a aftermarket cross member. I also have UMI upper and lower control arms. The Trans is a short tail shaft 400. I may have to do some fabricating to the mount, but the transmission can't go up too much further b/c the case hits the tunnel.

    Output shaft angle/pinion angle issues

    Well, let me ask this question then. For all the guys who have adjustable rear upper and lower control arms, how much can you drop the pinion angle with them?

    Oh I believe you. I know those front mount dist. kits are pretty high dollar.

    best way to buy a 5.3/4.8/6.0

    I've seen 5.3's and 4.8's go for +- $400 complete, but I can never seem to find those deals when I'm actually looking lol. Must be a curse. If I get a good deal on something, it's either junk, or I find out its some kind of b*st*rd year/model whatever, and can't find parts for it and no one...

    LSX G body run vid and pics

    Very nice! Clean looking setup/install from what I can tell. I love the front mount dist. look on LSx cars. Don't get me wrong, coil packs look really clean too, but the drop in dist. look on older cars just sets it off in my opinion.

    best way to buy a 5.3/4.8/6.0

    Exactly. I bought my engine as a long block and I did get a great deal on it (family price :D ) but I had to buy all the accessories, new balancer, intake, fuel rails, injectors, harness/PCM, and it had headers that were sold and I bough new ones. All together I ended up with $600+ in all the...

    Output shaft angle/pinion angle issues

    I just recently put a TH400 in my car and I'm having some issues with the output shaft of the transmission being a little too low. It has the drive shaft in a spot to where the yoke and the drive shaft are making a "V". Its not horrible by any means but bad enough to where I added a spacer...

    TH400 question:

    ^ Thank you sir, very good info.

    TH400 question:

    I just recently put a 400 in my car and I've got a question regarding the solenoid on the side of the casing that's for the kick down. I have a ratchet shifter and I always manually down shift, is it 100% nessecary for me to hook this up, and if so, what would I hook it up to on a FI engine? I'm...

    Yep, what he said ^ I cut the ears on my th350 and my 400 I just recently put in.

    Who here has modified their own harness?

    I think "painless" is the most popular place to buy a aftermarket harness.

    4L80e in a G-body

    I ended up going a totally different route, but either way It's going to work out for the best. I got a TH400 that has a shift kit for a really good price off of a friend. I'll still have to get the drive shaft cut and I'll have to change yokes, but I see everything as being "upgraded" so its...

    I'm FI right now, so all the harness is there, and I've got a electric speedo right now.

    F body oil pan with 1" setback mounts in G body?

    Yes, I ordered them from "The Car Shop Inc." a few years back. Very good quality stuff.

    F body oil pan with 1" setback mounts in G body?

    I have that setup and it fits, but it's really close. You have less than an 1/8th inch from front to back clearance, but side to side there's plenty of room. I haven't noticed any issues with mine so far, but If i ever pull the engine in the future I'm going to notch out two small places in the...

    4L80e in a G-body

    I recently junked out my th350 and was wondering if anyone has ever installed a 80e into their car and what all was involved? Obviously I know there's going to be wiring that is going to have to be done for the 80's electronics, and I'll need to modify my cross member, but I was wondering if the...
