none of the threads about the F-body bar seem to address my particular problem. I am using the MOOG k6459 bushings with stock G-body brackets, and according to all the threads on here, it should just bolt right up flush. that is not the case. the bushing seems wayyyy to big for the bracket and i...

since GM part # 25509419 ACDelco #172-1353 has been discontinued, where can I find a prop valve for a fair price? I say fair price because Gbodyparts wants $125 and Kirban wants $80 for the brass replacement valve. I'm pretty sure it's the exact same aftermarket valve because the pic is the...

I bought a Grand Prix brace from Jeff (LSJM1). great communication, and the part arrived promptly in great condition. I would definitely deal with him again.

I am rebuilding the front end on my El Camino and I bought all Autozone Duralast steering parts. anyway I'm using a fast ratio box with the g-body pitman arm installed. the problem comes when I try to bolt together the drag link and idler arm. if i have the drag link bolted to the idler arm...

I believe s10's with the ZQ8 suspension package use bilstein shocks, and I am using the ZQ8 springs (1.5" drop) on the front of my El Camino. I was wondering if the lowered s10 shocks will work on a G-body since they use the same front suspension. I see no reason why they wouldn't be ideal...

does anyone make a bracket to put LS1 calipers on the 98-05 Blazer spindles? Ed Miller only offers a C5 kit for this spindle, but it will not clear my 16" rims. thanks

I have to install my S10 ZQ8 coils with no weight on the front end, so I need to compress them I guess. I have heard that when using a spring compressor though, the long bolt tends to hit the top of the frame before the spring is in. how do you do it, never used a spring compressor? fit the...

I'm installing ZQ8 springs from an S10 4.3. they drop the S10 1.5", so I think it should drop my car 1.5-2" what do yall think? I have an aluminum headed/intake 350, so weight should be close to the 4.3 I need to select my shocks for this setup. what is a good set of shocks that will work...

I'm converting to Ed Miller's 89-97 F-body 11.6" PBR rear discs, using his custom backing plates. But this should apply to everyone with rear disc, regardless of what they came from. Obviously, the stock drum style hardline (on the rear end housing) will not just bolt up to the flex lines for...

first I should ask, what is the point of swapping the MC? I know the prop valve need to be changed to actuate how much fluid goes to the brakes. but what does the MC have to do with that? I'm using ls1 brakes up front, and lt1 brakes in the rear. can I just bolt up the MC and valve from...

I know, I've seen the 5658 results thread already. I want to replace all of my springs and lower my car/truck. I was looking at the moog 5401 and 5413 rear springs, and they appear to only have 3 coils excluding the pigtails? at least on the rock auto website. The F-Body (ss/ws6 HP)...

I have a set of South Side Machine lower lift bars for G-body's. I got them with my rear end, but I will be using tubular LCA's instead. They are used, but not by me, and the coating is starting to chip off (not paint). The bolt's threads look like they have seen better days, but should be...

As you may remember, I'm in the process of installing PBR rear brakes on my car. The plates are in the mail right now. anyway, I need to upgrade my front brakes to balance out the 12 inch rotors out back. I have spent many hours researching rear brakes, but I don't know much about the front...

so, I have an EC with the 200-4r, and can understand putting it behind the 305, but the turbo buicks were designed to be beastly from the factory right? so why did they not use a 700-r4? everyone at tranny shops around here tells me to throw my 200 off a bridge.... and I tried searching...

I'm trying to decide what trailing arms to get for my Elky. do all these aftermarket arms accept OEM style replacement bushings when they wear out? I'll still use polyurethane to replace them, but can I just get ones for stock arms, or do I need it from the company I bought the arms from. I'm...

I searched, but only got vague references to this. I know rear springs will interchange as long as I grab the isolators. but what about the front springs from f-bodies? which springs will lower it? do I need SS/WS6 to lower it, or will Z28/TA work? what about IROC, GTA and 1LE?

anyone used these? Hassle free drum rear disc conversion to 1LE/ LT1 PBR rear brakes - Brake Board - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards Supposed to utilize PBR brakes for third gen f-bodies. Do they require shock relocation on g-bodies? I'd use LS1's but they require cutting the...

Hey, I've been sorta lurking here for a while. I actually bought a rear end for my El Camino from a member on here a few months ago. I mainly post on El Camino Central but joined here because is seems to be more racing oriented. I'm restoring my 86 Elky and installing a 350, using my 200-4r...
