Scotty Dont Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Damn randy that makes me feel bad....I'll start working on it soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Dont Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Did a little bit today Chopped the sub frame humps offInstalled the trilogy hood strutRemove the stock trans, drive shaft and exhaust I don't think I ever posted it but I got a wiring harness ecu transmission drive shaft and a few other stuff from when Jason's Crashed his car. The hold up right now is my flywheel and clutch are getting balanced and I am using the garage for changing out my Dakota's transmission. In a few weeks I should be able to pull the interior out, cut the trany tunnel, and slide the drive line in to make the mounts. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b84/trippleCing/1332124297.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b84/trippleCing/1332124318.jpg Edited March 19, 2012 by Scotty Dont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchi934 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 i'm using these for mounts on my swap:http://www.speedwaymotors.com/LS1-LS6-Chevy-Weld-In-Motor-Mounts,7631.html the stock rear end is fine for a LOT of power.make sure you dont make the same mistake convette did with his driveshaft and use hollow ujoints.

Scotty Dont Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Frenchi those are the same motor mounts I have installed check the pics. As far as a jy turbo 5.3 I think it sounds like a good idea just do lots of research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
