Re: Project Underfunded / next phase - LSx carb'd to LSx efi

Well...moved a few things to a nearby storage with the truck this weekend. I seemed to hear a noise that I felt like could be vacuum leak related. I've checked the plugs, I've sprayed carb cleaner, swapped throttle bodies...and can't find a leak. So, I bought a new L92 style efi intake and gaskets from rockauto that'll be here in a few days. Hopefully after installation...it'll have a few more inches of vacuum...and the power brakes will begin working properly again! If not...I don't have a clue whats going on.

remeasured yoke and pinion angles and I was way off on the transmission end. After doing some shimming upward of the trans angle I've found I've run out of room to go up. its as close (maybe too close) to the cab as it can go w/o hitting. Guess I had less room to spare with this 4L80e and a low trans tunnel cover then I thought...and if I have to go up any more I'll be looking for a high hump tunnel cover.


also contemplating some up coming purchases. Looking at the Procar Rally 1000 seats, unless someone sells me on Corbeau.









then there's that new rear axle and new wheels/tires....rack and pinion...
