    LS1 transplant

    I'm planning a similar swap later this year once my funds are in line. One question though: if you have a matching ecu and engine, why the need for a custom harness? So far this and a rear end are my only hangups on my plans.

    88-98 Bucket seat alternatives

    I put 5th Generation Camaro Buckets in my truck. There's at least as much room as the bench had, and it's got the added bonus of leaning back. My process: pull the bench out, remove the brackets from the bottom, and disassemble until you have the two side brackets (the parts that bolt to the...

    Heater core removal instructions needed

    It's super easy. Just remove the hoses from the core (which is sounds like you already did), remove the heater core cover inside the cab, remove heater core, replace with new unit, install cover, install hoses. I don't recall entirely, but there may be a couple of bolts that hold the heater...

    While the intake is off...?

    Thanks, I forgot to reply back, but I found the answer after much research on Google :D
  5. Q

    What part is this?

    As I shop for this, I'm noticing that the switch (as all the parts stores call it) seems to screw onto the stalk that comes out of the engine. Is there a way to check this stalk and make sure that its o rings or gaskets (whatever it uses) are sealing properly?

    What part is this?

    I took it on a tiny camera :D Actually, if you click it, it'll go full size which is about 600x800. Its actual size was waaaay to big. Thanks for the info. Since my oil pressure gauge reads wonky, I think I'll replace it and hope for the best.

    Posted it in an edit.
  8. Q

    What part is this?

    Sorry, no pic right now, but it's on the back of the block, just behind the intake. It comes up out of the block and has an electrical plug of some sort. I'm guessing a sending unit for something. It has oil on/around it, and I want to make sure it's not leaking, whatever it is. If this is...

    Replacing Spark Plugs

    Awesome! I'm glad to hear you went through emissions ok. I'm eventually going to have to put mine through Colorado emissions, and I'm a tad worried.

    Replacing Spark Plugs

    I just checked YouTube, and this guy shows extracting a plug with an easy out. Skip to 3:30...it's full of crap, but that part seems useful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m85Zl1z5Y-k

    Replacing Spark Plugs

    So the entire electrode end broke off inside the block? Is there any sticking out?
  13. Q

    While the intake is off...?

    So I pulled out my FelPro gaskets for the intake and realized that the rear coolant ports are almost entirely blocked on the gaskets (there's a small hole), but the ports are open on my block. Is this correct? I had the engine rebuilt by an engine shop about 8 years ago, so I don't remember...

    While the intake is off...?

    Well, I had to buy a pry bar, but I finally got the intake off last night. Besides some rust in the coolant ports, it didn't look too bad. Some crap that was around the edges of the manifold fell into the engine, so I'll be taking a shop vac to it.

    Starter problem

    I switched the entire unit. I'm fairly sure everything was tight, but I'll double check. Thanks for your help.
