So I just bought a set of T/A stock style replacement headers and I am debating having them coated since I've already dropped a significant chunk of change on the new headers... I was wondering how the swaintech coating is holding up and more important how much did you pay? Also in the end do...

I'm putting my front springs back in here in an hour or two... this is my first time doing it, and overall the front suspension wasn't bad coming apart. I did the LCA bushings myself with the BJ press from Autozone and other than the steel bushings not being tapped, it was straightforward. I'm...

Well Bob since I doubt we'll ever cross paths, what's your address because Im going to buy you a beer! haha Tax return has already been dubbed "car money" and the government has told me Wednesday I should have it... so You'll have another order Wednesday! My old SM box has been very very good...

Here's a link to a guy doing another gbody using one. Frame mods start about 3/4 down the page http://www.pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/forum/post413699.html After seeing what this kit really is, I am much more interested. It's not just closing in the C on the inside of the frame rail, it fully...

Anyone use this kit yet? It's pricey, but it appears to be extremely high quality and isn't just a plate welded to the frame. heres a link to their site: http://www.hellwigproducts.com/products/street-performance-product-line/frame-fx-by-hellwig/

Looks awesome!

Something like this with a nice spacer and cover

Gotcha, well please take good pictures and post em up! What did all that from Rick's run you price wise if you don't mind me asking? Another option would be to cut an access panel in the trunk and then add a spacer for clearance. This would also allow you to change pumps without dropping the tank.

Have you thought about just bolting it in? You could fab up a gasket or do some searching for some fuel safe sealant. Either way I like where you're going with this!

How's the dual 450 coming along??

Almost bought an engine today... Found a nice looking 2002 4.8 right around the corner from me with 160K miles for $350. I can probably get it for $300 if I go back monday. It's got a few more miles than I want, but honestly it's really just a starting point so as long as starts and runs I'll be...

Tell me more! What size lines are you running and what are your power goals! Also is the surge tank under pressure?

Are you talking about a complete turbo setup or just the actual engine? a 5.3 or 4.8 donor engine can be found for as little as $100... they'll average about $500 for a low mile clean engine though. The Ls6 heads and cam and supporting hardware might run anywhere between $1000 and $2000...

Very excited to see how this turns out! Been home sick all day wrecking my brain what I am going to do for my LS swap... a single 450 wont cut it, a double pumper will get it a little further, and I even debated running an external 8gal fuel cell with an external pump running off a hobbs switch...

That's the feeling I am getting too. Looks like I can throw a ton of time, effort, and money at the stock system and probably wont be happy.

Ok, I am in the planning stages of my LS swap. Car has been on E85 since 2010 with a walbro 255 and 60lb injectors and I'll fight tooth and nail to go back to 93 octane. I love this stuff! The fuel system is where I am flat out lost though... everything else is straight forward to me, but I am...

Thanks guys! I appreciate the info! Chuck what did you do for fuel lines?

That's what I like to hear, I'd be more than happy at that power level!! What lines did you go with (hard lines, brand, ect)? I'm putting together my parts list now, and so far your build is about the closest to what I want to do I've found. You've spent money only on parts you need and kept it...

I might have missed it, but what's your fuel system look like? (what pump/injectors/fuel lines/regulator?}

Well I finally have decided I can't bring myself to mess with the 3.8 anymore... I'm always worried about it, and I know if I nuke it I will have to shell out $5000+ to fix it. So here goes, I am now putting together a parts list and I need advice. Here's my tentative plans: - 4.8 or 5.3...
