Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

For someone (not naming who ) that has a schitty bilt, what did you do? DC from battery?

 

It's that sort of incident that sits in the back of my mind and makes me want to install a kill switch.

 

Not true. This link can explain it better than I can.

Am going to LS swap mine whenever this bitch goes kaboom. Thankfully that may be a long time haha

 

Unless I missed something, as I did just browse the article, I was pretty close. It's all sports car engines. They're different than the Yukon and truck engines. But people will snag an engine out of a truck and claim they did an LS swap. There's a difference between a truck 6.0 and an LS2

EDIT: Retracted. Apparently the truck engines are LSs too. But I have been told that the sports car LSs have more aggressive cams and other valvetrain components that make them output much more.

"General Motors called it the Gen III small-block V8 and a year later (the 1998 model year), the LS1 replaced the LT1 small-block in Camaros and Firebirds, which was followed by the iron-block version of the Gen III V8 appearing in the full size trucks and SUVs."

Additionally, I guess I have learned that unless I see something else that catches my eye, I'm thinking about putting a LSX 5.3 in the jeep. They're super narrow and I think it would fit nicely under the hood

 

I thought Tahoe had LS engine, but I could be wrong. He pulled the engine and transmission out of Chevy Tahoe. Corvette engine makes lot more HP and torque, but his jeep is very light. He can still roast those 35's. Plus, he got the doner vehicle for only 2 or 3 grand. Another big factor in going with Tahoe was CARB legal shiet. DMV wants the exhaust to be in the same position and manner as the original vehicle. Plus, he had help of couple of other guys who did the same swap before him and help with was readily available.

 

I might have to try that one day

DAMM! I am going to try this! Thanks man!

EDIT: DONE! Put in the request. Waiting for denial and hopefully a discount code/coupon. If I get similar discount like @jberry813 I will be going with 12-s (may be platinum).

 

Convoy to the Clavey river for the weekend, 2/3rd gen and a jeep..

 

Speaking of @jberry813 i just saw his kids (I say kid because I can’t tell if boy or girl) new lucky charms commercial

Jberrys kids are actually pretty legit.

 

Not sure yet what im going to do about the winch. Debating on keeping it portable, or build it into the front or rear bumper.
Lots of thoughts but havnt focused on it yet.
Still trying to get the front end dailed.

 

Didn’t even know he had kids just assumed anyone that loves unicorns as much as this kid does has to be a blood relative.

 

Maybe I should have done that. Can make more power NA and cheaper. Oh well.

 

30 fricken hours of online torture (48 actually) and all I got is a card and this fucken sticker????

 

And 48 hours of nap time.

 

Dude it sucked. Your average joe can read twice as fast as the guy in the video takes to read it and you can’t forward to the next page till he’s done. They throw a lot of interactive shit in to make sure your paying attention. If no response for 8 min. It would time out. Meanwhile it’s all being recorded so my office can see my activity.

 

I hate click safety, so god damn boring.

 

i did that yrs ago. It sucked ass big time. I took the osha 10hr and it took me like 14hrs. I feel asleep twice each day over the 3 days it took me
It always takes longer then 10 or 30 hrs.
