Cute. What turbo are you going with?

no turbo

[regal403]

Why the silly exhaust manifold then?

[ali]

this is spencers old motor that he was putting in the S10

[jesseligon]

very sexy ride that 6.0 what are you gona do with the motor

you just got told by a 15 year old. i believe you are my friend. if you agree please say I

[ali]

hey neglets take this somewhere else

[jesseligon]

i am not gona denie it i was wrong. i did not know that they made 6.0 ls1's. all i ever seen was the 6.0 ls2's. i dont know **** about new gm motors i am more of a ford guy.

[jesseligon]

so any ways whats the plan for this beast

This would be so fun with a T56.

ali you are my hero. I want to see this thing done nowwww.

I say go FI :)

[supercrackerbox]

This would be so fun with a T56.

Yeah, but do you know how hard it is to find the manual trans parts for a G-body?

Sold a set of pedals a few years back. No big deal. You can rig F-body pedals to fit with relative ease, I believe.

This has pedals, it was a 4 spd car (or previously converted)

I'm scratching my head on this one. I just can't see the logic here. Can someone tell me how one transmission makes more power over another?

[86Shelby]

Good point, generally they simply transfer and absorb power...

parasitic loss through the drivetrain...? Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought a manual ate up ~15% and an auto ~20-25%.


As much as I hate auto's though, I think you should stick with it Ali, cuz I know you'll get the itch to boost it and keeping stalled auto + not losing boost = win

It = Ali's automocar

'd = would

be more fun = subjective assessment of the level of pleasure derived from said automocar

and = a coordinating conjunction which links the two participles "be" in addition to "make"

make = produce

more = a higher value, in this case, a number. A number of what, you might ask? Keep reading to find out!

power = in this case, horsepower as measured at the drive wheels which would turn the drums on a dynamometer



Wherefore doth I sayeth such a sentenceth? Ah, because a car with a manual transmission will suffer less parasitic loss through heat and friction in said transmission than the same car would with an automatic transmission. I didn't say it would be faster with a manual. That'd be silly.
All I said was that his car would subjectively be more fun and provide a larger numerical value representative of the quantitative amount of Rear Wheel Horsepower on the dynamometer chart if it were equipped with a manually shifted transmission as opposed to an automatically shifted transmission, but in fewer words.

Hope that helps, sweeties. :)

[86Shelby]

Oh, so you mean the manual transmission would absorb less power that the engine has already produced. I still don't see how it produces any more power... ;)

[regal403]

You consider "it" = engine. You're talking engine dynos.

I am saying "it" = car. I'm talking chassis dynos.


Holla :)

[swaggy853]

^^^should be more specific, IT doesnt produce any more power auto or manual, car or engine

[regal403]

^^ Gee mister, you sure are silly.

[swaggy853]

you are saying that it has more power transferred to the rear wheels, thats different than making more power.

[regal403]

you are saying that it has more power transferred to the rear wheels, thats different than making more power.

No, I said it'd be more fun and make more power with a manual. I think I have made myself clear on what each of those words meant in context.

-Would the engine produce the same number of horsepower on an engine dyno? Obviously, since the transmission is not included in such an experiment.
-Would the car produce the same number of horsepower on a chassis dyno with an automatic as compared to a manual? Obviously not, due to frictional losses.

[regal403]

Case in point: Hillbilly.

His car made 475 hp at the rear wheels with a Super T-10.
His car made 406 hp with a TH400.
It ran quicker with the TH400, and is more bulletproof.

It's always a good move to lose WHP.

Less power = more traction.

Daddy likes, now i need to go look for a 12 bolt rear-end

[Bobby Light]

ali did you find injectors and rail?

[Hillbilly]

9"

[ali]

ali did you find injectors and rail?

No, i havent really looked nor have i called Andy yet.

[ali]

9"

I'll do that when I start to make some power.

[supercrackerbox]

Ya know, with the offset of those wheels, a stock width 12 bolt just might be about perfect. Either that or an 8.5" from an early 70's A-body. Can't remember who off the top of my head, but there's a couple companies that make the correct control arms to bolt them in.

[Hillbilly]

I have one.

[DarkSlide]

It will be semi strange to see Ali driving this lol

Oh and Joe is far too witty for his own good.

Yeah thats what Justin was saying, we do have a man date on Sunday to go down to U-Pull-It, you are more then welcome to come if you want.

[ali]

I have one.

Really, you might get a PM later this week

[Kelvin]

i have one as well. you dork

I dont want a 9in, Hillbilly are you talking about a 9in or the brackets to bolt up a 12bolt?

its all good, lub you :kiss:

[Hillbilly]

I have a 9" that fits a g body

Yep, need to redrill the axles for gm pattern. 28 spline axles. Have drums on it.

will the one kelvin has, i would have to make new mounts and all the other bull crap to make it fit, which i didnt want to deal with right now. Plus a 12-bolt is strong enough for what i have and i wouldnt have to deal with getting new wheels

[Hillbilly]

This one is already welded up and has been in a monte. A dirt car but a monte.

[Kelvin]

i have a mig welder. it cant be that hard

[Jeffo]

cj they both have 6.0s dont talk ****

ya noobsauce

[supercrackerbox]

Hillbilly, is that rear centered or offset to one side? Stock G-body width?

I'm 99% sure I'll be working, but if not I'm all over it. Been wanting a chance to get out there myself for a while. I'll keep you posted.

[Hillbilly]

It is stock width but idk about offset. I am pretty sure it is stright cause offset was illegal.:nervous:

[slownova]

a 9inch has to be offset to one side or the other becouse the pinion isnt centered in the housing....

[86Shelby]

a 9inch has to be offset to one side or the other becouse the pinion isnt centered in the housing....

What is your definition of offset? Do you measure offset by the pinion centerline or the differential centerline? Not all 9" axles are offset.

[slownova]

What is your definition of offset? Do you measure offset by the pinion centerline or the differential centerline? Not all 9" axles are offset.

what are you calling offset? it doesnt have 2 equal length axles, it will always be offset becouse the pinions not strait.

I'll stop & start new thread.

So when is this ***** gonna burn some rubber?

Iceman does and the local outfit Baseline suspension also. Kevin at baseline is also gonna have out a control arm to bolt up an 8.8 ford soon. Which anyone who's stupid will tell you is a better choice than a 9" or a 12 bolt. :Thumb:

[supercrackerbox]

I know it's been done a few times, but I'm honestly suprised more people don't adapt the 8.8 into these cars. They're lighter than the 9", at least as plentiful (if not more), can be built plenty strong, and Foxes had basically the same suspension design as the G-bodies, so the basic layout for all the mounts is already in place. They have a bit more aftermarket support too, if I'm not mistaken. Get one from a Fox chassis Lincoln or Thunderbird and I'd bet the width is pretty darn close too.

Your motor mount halfs don't match up well. I see reason to be concerned. What are the two motor mount halves designed for?

[fmstruck]

Ali, why don't you just cut the back ear off of the engine side of your mounts and weld it back on so it fits closer. If you machine a bushing it still has the potential to bend the bolt.

[burnoutnova]

I'm really happy Justin, Adam, Ray, John, and my Girlfriend talked me into buying it.

I've looked around and I got a damn good ****ing deal. The cheapest one i found what a bolt in 9in with out the center section for 900bucks

[schovil69]

That is a great deal on the 9". Soooooooo...you put it in the car yet?

Why are you calling your own truck a piece of ****????
:shock:

[supercrackerbox]

You can go several ways with your uppers. Ideally, you'd want some adjustable ones, but if that rear was built right, you shouldn't really need them. So you could just get some standard ones with poly bushings for pretty cheap, or box your uppers to match the lowers and put new bushings in them. Or upgrade to spherical bushings to match the lowers but still retain some articulation. Personaly I'm not a big fan of the solid mounts on those arms as they will allow almost no articulation of the suspension. Fine for a track only car, but our "tracks" aren't exactly the smoothest sometimes. But we'll figure something out.

[Johnny]

**** justin, it took me like 3 min to talk him into it, you must be doing it wrong

[AeroSS_87]

Posted via Mobile Devicewe were talking him into it for a good 10 minutes before you showed up. He probably just admitted defeat when not a single person said walk away

[ali]

Just ordered my upper control arms

[Hillbilly]

[ali]

[ali]

So my goal for this weekend is to have the old rear end out and maybe have the 9in bolted in place

[89fox]

Well ali, I didn't tak the time to read all 10 pages but it looks like it coming together very well, I can't wait to see it out.

[supercrackerbox]

Nice. Which ones did you go with?

[ali]

Lakewood Adjustable Upper Control Arm

[supercrackerbox]

Good deal. Like I said, you shouldn't need adjustables, but you won't regret being able to fine tune your pinion angle and instant center.

[86Shelby]

Are they installed yet? ;)

[schovil69]

Hells yeah! Get that sucka in there!

[ali]

depending on what time i get off from work on Thursday I might work on it

[86Shelby]

Car parts are near opposite of lingerie. Parts look best installed being used rather than laying on the floor. Lingerie is best after it's used and laying on the floor. Don't punish the car.


Tell Mom hi for me when you see her, there'll be dirty clothes on the floor shortly after I get home. ;)

Who can help me weld in my sump? or know someone that can

[supercrackerbox]

[AeroSS_87]

Any random welding shop in town can do it pretty reasonable

Did quit-a-bit today. I did **** my pants tonight, dont be a dumb ass and rush and try to get done early. I was jacking up the rear-end and it just caught the car just right to make it roll back and fall of the jack stands with me under it. I did manage to get out just in time....Remember kids dont rush and have the car properly on jack stands
http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb115/alizangeneh/DSC03605.jpg

But other then that ****ed up miss got the rear-end bolted in
