This is FALSE The only way a drag radial is going to help a car that doesn't spin is by putting a different size on that helps change the gear ratio.... Slicks could actually slow a car down due to greater rolling resistance

I also think that the 5.3 ls4 has the 60* trans bolt pattern Stroke is different They use the same block with the same bore

I have considered the 8.8 but have yet to see any positive results other than it being installed.... I also don't understand why the swap arms are $600ish from trz plus the cost of the 8.8. that money could be spent on a 9" that is proven to work. I am sticking with the 4l60 because of the...

i believe the ls4 from the Monte/grand prix is actually a shorter block. This was done to save space in the FWD application

I placed the order today for most of my fuel system -8 feed -6 return sump for gas tank all black AN fittings billet filters I am probably order a new tank to sump and I still need to order a fuel pump. I am still planning on the a1000 aeromotive. It will probably be overkill for now but I'd...

I have currently been checking in to this A 6.0 lq4 from 99-00 the crank already has the flange built in along with a flat flexplate. the t400/200r4 will bolt up and converter will work I believe any lq4 that originally came equipped with a 4l80e transmission will already have the correct...

I don't believe the truck manifolds will work. The F-body manifolds are the ones that you have to use. the BRP pan kit is just the LH8 hummer oil pan/accessories It is currently on backorder through GM but priced a lot cheaper $180 vs. $250

I personally removed my fan off of a 2000 6.0 LQ4 yesterday and it was a standard righty tighty/lefty loosy thread I stopped in and borrowed the tools at my local dealer a spanner type wrench goes into two holes in the pulley and a "crows foot" wrench/ 1/2" drive ratchet for that It broke...

After selling the trans yesterday total investment is $150.00 plus 15 mile drive to pick up cool.gif

As posted in another thread I purchased an engine for the swap. It was a great deal on what was a "5.3" complete Once home I noticed the big 6.0L on the rear of the block like 388bu's avatar =) so I ended up with the LQ4 I wanted I am gonna work on cleaning it up figuring out the...

Our local radio station runs a nightly program where you can list up to 2 items for sale. Randomly about two weeks ago my brother overheard a listing for a 5.3 chevy engine and auto trans for a decent price He got a number and gave it to me knowing I have been planning a swap. I called and was...

As I start to gather my parts for my LSx swapped 83 Malibu Wagon I figured I’d start a thread post all of the relevant information regarding the swap. I am going to post what parts I am planning on putting in the car but am also up to suggestions as to anything that people may find The car is...

Looks as if you did a very good job! You info should help me out a lot on my swap that is going to be happening very soon

Thank you! That is what I figured I'd have to do but was unsure. All I have been able to find has been how to switch from the sweep to round style but never the round basic to round w/tach

According to this http://www.maliburacing.com/gauge_conversion.html you need to change wiring around to swap from the sweep style speedo to the round with tach setup. My car has the round speedo only setup in it already. Do I just need to swap to the round w/tach gauges and add the proper water...

These are 275/40/17 tires on 17x9 wheels

Those are my two concerns as well According to Street & Performance, pg 92 of their catalog http://www.hotrodlane.cc/08%20catalog/08onlinecatalogMAIN.html They have dimensions of the oilpans and there seems to be plenty in comparison with what I have seen modded on the F-body pans
