Prototype alternator bracket

Test fitting is looking pretty good everything is fitting nicely all I need to do now is get a belt that fits correctly I'm past my first one already I'm trying a 48 inch belt next

sloppy alt bracket

cutting out our own high mount alt bracket for LS swaps, puts the turbo on the upper left, passenger side cyl head to free up all the room on the right side and make this easy for minimal swaps.

fairmont 4 fbody dash

trying something different in this car, going to see how a fbody dash works out in this car with the stock pcm

fairmont 4 running!

268,000+ mile motor runs great, i guess we can move on with the plans here.

fairmont 3 and 4 updates

Winter street car

Just going for a nice cruise and filling up.

motor in the black and grey car, mounts built

quickly tossed the engine and trans in the car today and made mounts, it is ready to roll around haha, gotta decide what i want to do next, hopefully getting an LS1 intake today or tuesday, i can start wiring this pig up and figuring out the fuel system etc, i think i will be doing a 255 or some thing we might have laying around in the tank, and then doing a corvette regulator and returning right at the tank, and then feeding up to the return less rail on the ls1 intake for now.

ice foot black and grey fairmont update

Swapping Fairmont 4

Preparing and painting the motor actually! Imagine that! Also pulling the stock junk and now getting ready to drop in the 5.3/60e combo

had out fairmont 3.0 today for some line painting

replacing the fuel sending unit on the truck

figured i would show pics of a walbro 400 in the stock basket, fits in there like a dream

truck on 19lbs of boost doing good!

this thing needs shorter gears badly, but other than that i am nearly done tuning it!

got everything done with the truck!

so i tested out the trans and converter and fuel pump etc, doing great.

troys truck trans swap and more

todays adventures, truck 2ft up on jackstands, methanol kit installed, 60e out, 80e in, crossmember modded/installed, fuel pump installed/tested, trans lines done, driveshaft getting dropped off at associated, and we even delivered the LS1 and t56 to its new owner, all before 5pm

plasma cut off the stock mount, flipped the crossmember, welded it on flipped and it fit perfect, like it was meant to be haha

late 60s pickup truck getting LS power!

this friday my friends pulled this ls1-t56 combo out of a camaro SS

its going in a friends truck, he is currently using a 5.3 and a 80e mockup bits i have to get everything squared away and wanted the ls1 and t56 combo for this pig, so we dropped it off today with him.

4l80e forcing third gear mod at the track (sloppy trans brake)

well it works! i am happy to report it works really really well haha
the track was just not there tonight, non prepped friday night, couldn't hold anything.

here is a clip of a data log showing i could hit 4600rpm and 15psi at the line!

fairmont 4 introduction video

Fairmont #4?!?!

Yep I got another Fairmont!

tons done today, even drove the truck around

fuel rail spacers yesterday from lowes haha, trans filter for the 80e, put the pan on the 80e, its ready to go.

put the last coupler i needed on the front end and got all the clamps on it, put the grille and everything back on, buttoned and zip tied everything, installed the wideband in the car, even checked the fluid and took it for a drive, in the video i dont have the reference hooked up to the wastegate, later i got it plugged in and it makes 12psi right now but the stock fuel pump cant keep up with that at all.

drilled and tapped the intake piping for the meth kit. 

going to finish that up this weekend when we do the 80e swap and also drop the stock fuel tank and install the walbro 400 in the tank.

should be ready to get nuts soon!

not so much car, but much truck update video

Truck updates

ran today on stock injectors after downpipe was done, only have a few small things then ill be running it on the 80s and speed density tomorrow, then hopefully everything for the 80e comes in this week and i can do the 80e swap on my friends lift, and do the 400lph in the tank on the lift too, on the weekend. i think we might see some positive manifold pressure tomorrow... ill take it easy on the 60e and stock pump.
