Advice on radiator and fan for LS3 swap
Redwine automotive replied to 280Z-LS3's topic in Gen III & IV Chevy V8Z Tech Board
I'm using a 3 core Champion and Taurus 2 speed fan with only high wired to a Dodge minivan PWM controller, stock thermostat and 4 corner steam vents in the heads, stays at 200 under all conditions. LS engines need flow through the heater hoses or a small bypass in the thermostat, removing the small rivet is enough, hope this helps. -
Custom Exhaust Build Questions
Redwine automotive replied to JoeK's topic in Gen III & IV Chevy V8Z Tech Board
,I am using a stock 2008 LS3 and at the exhaust stage now. I will be running 2.5 into a Jone's Exhaust chambered Y, 3" single with an auger in the pipe and Magnaflow 3 chamber muffler. Should have it done next weekend and will report back. -
Choosing a Camshaft, L31 engine.
Redwine automotive replied to jaguargt's topic in Gen I & II Chevy V8 Tech Board
Vortec heads come with weak valve springs . You can swap in ls6 springs and a comp cams retainer for a cheap upgrade and be good to around .500 lift . Comp also sells a tool to cut the guide down with a hand drill if your up to pulling the heads off. The xe268 cam is about as big as you want with a stock converter , but its a good daily driver cam .Make sure your timing is around 32 degrees total for vortecs, Also if that carb is box stock its probably way rich at w.o.t and costing you some power -

5.3/T56 swap noise--video inside
Redwine automotive replied to ukcats07's topic in Gen III & IV Chevy V8Z Tech Board
It does sound like an exhaust leak , but there is another noise it sounds too fast at idle to be a lifter , look for something rubbing around the flywheel area maybe a bent dust shield . -
Yes that is correct.
