ok thanks sounds like a good idea, im finally earning extra money again and so i can finally finish my 2year frame off resto sometime this summer if all goes well.:) cant wait to see how it rides with boxed frame, new springs, shocks, bushings,, boxed control arms, sound mat interior :cool:

thanks for the reply, a hole saw is a good idea, just needs to big enough to slide in the bushings.

hes talking about the holes on the side of the frame, so you can fit the lower bushing inside, the elongated holes in the pictures he posted.

im going to be boxing the middle section of my frame before i install it back under the body. dont remember how the old bushings were removed, but do i need to leave openings to slide the lower body bushing in or are the holes at the bottom of the frame large enough to fit the bushing through?

if its only when lower temps, then most likely rear window creaking, seals have gone dry

well did you grease up the hood bumper?

sounds like a bad maf, you have the ls1 and translator? or possibly the coil pack

My 85 was 2 peices, they joined by the brake booster. Some cables go into the cruise control. Take a look at your car and follow from the transmission to the firewall and see what you have. you will have to remove it anyways to replace it.

Yes u can use the block. the oil drain for a hotair motor is in the intake manifold, passenger side. The threaded hole you see on the rear drivers side may be for the knock sensor?

Thanks for the interest, pics with the shell primered is where it still stands. Ran out of project money and will have to wait till march to get started again. Engine still sits on my stand disassembled. Everyday i think about driving the turbo buick motor again, hopefully will get to have...

I had water in my oil so i tore the motor apart to replace the head gaskets. installed felpro 1000 and torque sequenced every 10 ftlbs, up to 70ftlbs. then decided to replace the rear main seal. After looking at the bearings and something scratched into the crankshaft. Engine needs a complete...

thanks , i will most likely be using the rjc gaskets then. unless i can reuse gaskets that were installed and torqued but engine never started?

85 hotair motor, getting the motor rebuilt from a wiped cam lobe and very low oil pressure. Last year when i tore the motor apart, i was researching and decided to use the felpro1000 gaskets with a compressed thickness of 0.039 in. I brought my heads to the machine shop to get shaved down...
