  1. 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.
  2. I have, wouldn't say it was dangerous just felt loose with no feedback from the steering
  3. The power steering ecu has a vss input that is connected to the ls3 vss output, I set the vss for double actual speed, running Speedhut gps speedometer and T56 so I did not need the vss out for anything.
  4. I have the silvermine kit on my ls swapped 71, I have it wired in to the ecu and it turns off at 30 mph , 1 hand parking and tight when driving.
  5. ,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.
  6. 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
  7. Looks like you a good car to start with, I'm in the last stage of my LS3/T56 build. Welcome to the fun
  8. Its called a brake pedal pad,looks like a button, you can get it in the help section.
  9. I bent a new 3/8 line for my 240 and drilled the insulators with a 3/8 bit , works great and looks factory
  10. After a lot of reading I went with vintage rubber . Everything has fit very well , door seals fit with no slamming . Still have front and rear glass to do.
  11. Hi everybody looking for the brackets that hold the lines to the body for a 71 240z PM me if you have any for sale thanks .
  12. 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 .
  13. Hi,NewZed is on target sounds like a big vacuum leak, check your work at the manifold gasket.
  14. You can buy split braided loom off ebay that is easy to install and looks very good.
  15. I have done a mock up of my parts but she is in body shop jail now, but i will load pics when we start putting her together the second time.
  16. Hi,i have a 71 240 with an ls3/t56 Dirty dingo bolt ins cx trans mount and JTR 13/4 headers,steering shaft clears by 1/8 inch. I"m using Speedway motors LS Hi mount alt bracket and LS brackets A/C bracket. Hope that helps. Brent
  17. I hear the same thing at 0:50 ,does it feel like more then one cylinder misfiring . Where do you have dist advance, manifold or ported .
  18. The stumble that i hear when u start from a dead stop could be in your accelerator pump adjustment. Try moving linkage on the pump arm and see if it helps. Also check you coil output HEIs should jump at least an inch gap.
  19. The 1405 is rich on a 350 chevy,if u have vacuum secondarys you can adjust it to work its a very simple carburetor.let me know if i can help.
  20. Check your brake light blubs for the right part #,sounds like you have an 1156 in an 1157 socket.
  21. That is normal,voltage goes thru the coil winding until the ecu grounds the circuit.
  22. Wiper power goes to the blue/red wire at the wiper switch,and yes you will reuse the old harness from wiper switch to wiper motor.
  23. I am using Speedway motors high mount LS1 kit . Depending on how you mount your engine it can get close to the strut tower and you need the F body crank pulley .
  24. Not on the road yet,but ls3 is bolted in. No problems with steering,i did open up the slots some to move it back some more.
