    LSX454

    Smeding also looked like they were doing power adders, the LSX376 from Chevy too. I have seen people do the "78mm Amazon" kit turbos, then next are complaining about their knock sensors. Turbos are fine, I think an intercooler would help, used to be able to snag them from Volvos. You are right...

    LSX454

    Smeding is a top notch company, I'd trust them 100%. The shortblocks look killer, the 427 at 1300hp, might need to be tamed for the street. Though the 408 is advertised at 1000hp also. I am not sure which is better to go with the 58 or 24, I think the 58 is better overall, except it might not...

    LSX454

    That Catalina sounds like nice car. You make a good point about it being a Daily Driver also, that LSX Chevy is giving a warranty for 2 years or 50k miles, so they feel the build is pretty rock solid. A beauty too it being a LS it'll swap right into any GMT800, just need the Lingenfelter 58-24...

    LSX454

    True, you could piece it together cheaper, it is representative of what can be done. One could get a decent GMT800 truck for around 4-5k (clean, decent paint etc.) and then build it with that engine, 4L80e, 4.10's etc. and not be over 35k. Sounds like a lot until one looks at the prices of used...

    Command start killing battery?

    I also see mechanics today find parasitic drain with thermal imaging.

    Partial List of Front Torsion Bars

    The field is wide open, you can be the king of torsion bar knowledge. Back in the day working on cars, mopars had torsion bars and they were all different lengths by body style (A Body, B Body, etc.), so I wouldn't be surprised if they were different between the SUV's and Trucks.

    Brakes jamming up

    It is great that everything bolts up, and terrible that everything bolts up.

    2000 Single Cab Short Bed “DateNight”

    Sounds lopey with a 3k stall converter.

    2000 Single Cab Short Bed “DateNight”

    Purple is a cool color, what is in your engine build?

    Brakes jamming up

    I have had to undo things people have done a bunch of times, there is no figuring out people. Remember to grease the sliders.

    Brakes jamming up

    It sounds like wrong pads also, somebody could have put different calipers on.

    My girl says, "A/C on and heard a rumble vibrate and stuff blowing out of vents"!

    Mybe she doesn't want to know she's been driving around with a critter.

    2003 Chevy Tahoe 5.3L Coolant Pouring out at the back of the engine

    Looks like it is running down the outside of the bellhousing. What about the back of the intake? Can you smell it in the engine bay?

    The Duct Tape Camaro

    I think it is more about the trail being a long time bike path, 4x trail that was public; I have been to Tucson a lot since the 80-90's and it is being encroached by the city now. IIRC he said they are talking about shutting the gun range out there down. I don't know about people watching or...

    The Duct Tape Camaro

    One of my friends who lives by the track is complaining they have blocked off the trail, so no more watching for free.

    The Duct Tape Camaro

    The 18th in Tucson? Freiburger has been posting a lot about the duct tape drags, hear it is full up.

    Lower Control Arm Bushings

    OEM are $500 apiece for my rig, $200 per isn't bad. I also in the old days had built a tool, long threaded rod to pull them into the arm with an impact.

    Lower Control Arm Bushings

    Either that or a machine shop can knock them out quick with a regular press. The $500 a piece for loaded control arms is usually not something a I see people spring for.
