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...

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...

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...

How did everyone wire up their electric fans? I have a factory LT1 radiator and dual fans but I have a 5.3 truck harness and computer that was setup originally with a clutch fan, so no place on the fuse block for a relay and the PCM pin is blank where the wire would go. So did you guys make your...

I have my battery relocated to the trunk on the passenger side and I was wondering where would be the best place to put a exterior battery kill switch? I was considering the center of the license plate, or somewhere in the bumper but I'm not sure how either of those would look. Any pics would...

I recently bought a new shifter cable for my quarter stick and I'm having some trouble installing it. It didn't come with any install instructions but it looked straight foward enough that I didn't think I would have any trouble with it. Everything is hooked up right from the way it looks but...

Thought I'd post up some pics of the progress from start to (mostly) finish. I still SOME wiring to do, mainly just the body harness stuff that was originally in the car to begin with. The engine harness is 100% done. Beginning: Middle:

When wiring up a LSx style harness does the fuse block need to be grounded? I have + battery voltage going to the block and power to all the connections on the C1 and C2 block, but the C3 block is dead and it houses the fuel pump relay. When I turn the key to the "on" position I don't hear the...

I'm wiring up my LS1 in my malibu and needed some basic wiring knowledge b/c its probably the weakest part of my automotive know how #-o . The fact that I'm wiring up a fuel injected harness is irrelevant, its not that part that has me confused it just the basic stuff that I need help with. I...

I've got a LT1 f-body radiator, which I'm told will work just fine, but I was wondering where you guys got your hoses. I've seen the flexible kind that you just cut to length, which I've considered doing, and I could also just buy stock ones if they would work, I'm just worried about the length...

With a stock 4.8/5.3/6.0 truck power steering pump, what kind of high pressure line did you guys use? With the stock one thread into the back of the newer pump or did you have to get one custom made?

I plan on using the stock rear end in the mean time until I save up for a 9'' or something equal too. My options: -Buy moser axles that are 28 spline instead of 26 so It would be easier to find a cheep posi unit. $250 plus the added cost for the used gear/posi unit. -Buy a Detroit True Trac...

Just wanting to get an idea of what kind of muffler would sound good with a cammed LSx car. Everyone I've ever been around has an open cut out which is just plain loud and really no tone at all. If anyone has any vids of their car just idling or driving down the road (not wide open) I'd love...

Hey, I have a question about hooking up my aftermarket inline fuel pump to the original relay and wires in the fuse block. I have a stock truck harness and fuse block with a inline pump that has just one ground and one hot wire. Does anyone know of site that has good wiring schematics or would...

When running new front and rear brake lines, do the left and right side lines have to be equal length or does it really matter? In what case would I need to use a proportion valve? BTW I have stock front disc, rear drum brakes.

I was looking to lower the front end of my Malibu and was wondering if anyone had any pics of their cars with a set of drop spindles on the front? I have a set of 3 way adjustable drag shocks that I haven't installed yet, but I didn't know if that would drop it low enough? :-k Would a 2" drop...

What did you guys use for a throttle cable for a 5.3 or 6.0 with a stock truck intake? Did you just use the stock cable from a 99+ 1500 pickup?

I've looked around for a 9'' housing and axles for my Malibu, and I've found a deal for about $800. Anyone else know of a better deal? Also would it be worth looking for a GN 10 bolt instead of spending $1500 plus on a 9''? Has anyone had any luck out of a stock 7.5 10 bolt with like an axle...

I have a LS1 engine and 4l60E transmission with the 1'' set back engine mount plates. I was wondering what transmission mount should I use, or would it be best to make my own? The factory mount is not even close to working, and I didn't want to throw $200-300 at an aftermarket mount that won't work. |Any...
