    ls 4.8 twin turbo build

    I have just gone through your thread for this build. I just realized that this is a TWO YEAR and counting project!! I have been waiting to build my car as I am saving money so I can get it done as fast as time will allow me, without money being an issue. You are obviously doing a lot of work...

    NEWBIE FROM NYC

    Sorry for the ridiculous late post, but I just found this thread. Great find! Great work! I will need a rear main seal done, and I cannot find anyone in NJ to do it, so I am likely going to make a phone call to Jim Dunn this spring.

    engine work in union county nj

    I live in Union County as well. I drive down Michigan fairly often, and I haven't seen a shingle for Ron's. I called the number about a year ago, and got a number no longer in service message. I am trying to hunt down Merkel, but so far cannot find him either. I'll post again if I do find them...

    Fuel in my oil, rough and inconsistant idle

    Actually, good points. Highest probability the stock injectors are not functioning appropriately, and the fuel chemistry has definitely changed. Well said. Thank you

    Fuel in my oil, rough and inconsistant idle

    I have not noticed any black smoke out the tailpipe. I have to charge my battery for the first start this year, likely later this week. I will be looking. And would putting a set of 60's on a stock motor be overkill?...OK OK OK...no such thing. Lol. I agree, but for now, a replacement set of...

    Fuel in my oil, rough and inconsistant idle

    Yeah, DEFINITELY not driving it till I get this squared. I am trying to avoid a rebuild at this time. I chose to replace the O2 with a Denso unit. It was not Bosch, as most of what I have read indicates that people have more trouble with them than they are worth, and I heard there were issues...

    Fuel in my oil, rough and inconsistant idle

    While that thought (as well as several others) have crossed my mind, I am trying to minimize the upgrades until I can get it running and idling properly (and until my budget expands for the car). The engine is bone stock, and the odometer reads a little over 27k miles (both Carfax and Autocheck...

    Fuel in my oil, rough and inconsistant idle

    Hey everybody. I am in the process of diagnosing why I have gasoline in my oil. I have gone through 3 oil changes as I do not want the oil thinned out and have my engine and turbo damaged. The idle is also rough and inconsistent (i.e. idles high, then low/normal, then back to high). Anybody...

    Frame Off Restoration

    Car looks stunningly beautiful!! Fantastic work! For the interior, whose interior products did you use for the seats? I have been searching for a rear seat upper to replace mine until I recover my seats, but I might just recover them sooner than I wanted to. Thanks for your time and effort!

    Frame Off Restoration

    Thanks. I was very curious, as my brother is doing an 82 C10 "economical" frame off, and I have an 87 GN. I really want to take the frame out and clean it up, but I just don't have the space to do that level of work...yet. Thanks again! Great work! Look forward to seeing the continuation of this...

    Frame Off Restoration

    Amazing work on the car, and the SS is beautiful! I have a question about your frame. When you cleaned it up, did you dip the frame, sandblast it, or just wire wheel and compressed air??
