garystewart Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Honestly If I was to do it again, I would do the ls1 all motor swap. I think it would have been less of a headache. I may just may end up doing a cowl hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garystewart Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Been a while since I posted anything. Took out the tko and put in a stock aod and stock stall. Different car with auto for sure. It lasted bout 2 months and now I'm putting a 4r70w with transgo full manual shift. Ordered a converter from Circle D. It was expensive but gotta pay if you wanna play. Just installed a hammer shifter while I'm waiting for the converter. I'll try and get some pics later on. Almost forgot, put a 12lb wastage spring. Wow! She's got some torque. Really a fun car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creakyjoints Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 How's the drivability with the carb at part throttle low boost? Looks like you have a Torker 2 intake? I would switch the manifold to a dual plane and should fit under the hood no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garystewart Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Drives just like a normal car until boost. Intake is older style edelbrock single plane. Almost identical to a weiand excellerator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garystewart Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 K, just installed the mvb from transgo. Hopefully I did it right. Got my deep trans pan today. Got to tap for trans temp sensor. Now just waiting on my converter. It should be here by Friday. I'll get some pics tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garystewart Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Got it all back together. Takes a little getting use to. Haven't hooked up the lock up and overdrive yet buy I will next week. Just wanted to see if the trans worked good. The torque converter works great. Definitely spools way better and you can here the turbo more now. Only issue is the deep pan is way to big. Sits about 3 inches from the ground. Have to take it out and put the stocker back in. http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b408/iamtinter/547ce3ff.jpghttp://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b408/iamtinter/8c6f4a2b.jpg Edited July 15, 2012 by garystewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtreme Industries Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 how hard is it to set up a blow through carb? do you just set up the jets for full throttle mix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garystewart Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Been absent for a while. Took the whole drivetrain out and swapped most of the parts over to my mustang. Going to do a lsx swap. But to answer the question on setting the fuel on the carb, I set my idle mixture screws for idle. Used my afr gauge. Set the front jets for cruise and light throttle. Set my back jets for wot. All by watching my afr's. Youll have to do some homework on carb adjustments. And, I should have used a ev carb hat instead of a CSU hat. Ev hat is shorter in height and has tilted inlet. I believe you will have no hood issues then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
