Re: ls turbo build
 

nice!...those mounts are sick, and the turbo....

Re: ls turbo build
 

i also used dirty dingo ls mounts but different ones i like them except for the welds they kind of ticked me off but still good mounts

Re: ls turbo build
 

I have the pol lower tubular frame mounts.

Re: ls turbo build
 

That turbo doesn't make any boost sitting on your floor....get it in there damnit!

Re: ls turbo build
 

lol..... I just received everything to build the engine. I'm in the process of getting it ready for the machine shop....

Re: ls turbo build
 

Finally got the engine back from the machine shop. Also had a bracket, dirty dingo motor mounts and the exhaust manifold covers powercoated... Still have alot to do... This is going to take longer than i thought :)

Re: ls turbo build
 

everything looks great....but that pan seems a little deep. Mine is too deep and I don't think it hangs down as far as yours. are you sure you have room for it?

Re: ls turbo build
 

Not sure.... Guess i will find out... What pan did you end up going with?

Re: ls turbo build
 

the stock LY6 pan.

Re: ls turbo build
 

I swapped my pan to the stock camaro one that is what I would recommend.

Re: ls turbo build
 

I have the deep pan like you have, and it is almost the lowest point on my truck. My exhaust is about 1/2" lower. And with as much static drop as I have...I should be worried, but strangely I'm not. Time will tell.

Re: ls turbo build
 

I used an 07 Cadillac CTsV pan on my 69 Burb.

Re: ls turbo build
 

Nice!!! Jakes Performance built me a nice 4L80 for my 66 Chevelle, complete with transbrake and 3500 convertor. www.jakesperformance.com

Re: ls turbo build
 

Subscribed. My 6.0 came in yesterday so I will be watching to see the best way to boost a C10.

Re: ls turbo build
 

I was going to have a 4l80 built, but i couldn't bring myself to spending close to 4k for a trans to handle what i'm doing... I would have to drive it for a long time to save enough in fuel to have it pay for itself... I would love to have one tho!!!

Re: ls turbo build
 

Keep me posted on your ideas!!

I thought that i could do this for around 8to10k, but i'm not taking any shortcuts.... I'm looking around 17k for this conversion with painted firewall, holley efi, etc.etc... So, it's going to take me a year or longer to finish.... Need to get my wife to work more :lol:

Re: ls turbo build
 

Just received my freakshow converter, hughes flywheel with spacer and bolts, energy suspension motor mounts and trans mount. I should have it all bolted up together this weekend and stabbed in the truck.. I'll also have the driveshaft and lokar shifter installed and the hydraboost brakes done.... Then i'm ordering the holley dominator efi complete system, and the edelbrock proflo intake and injectors, rails etc.etc..... I'm getting excited:metal: Going to try to get this done before our new baby gets here in may....
