good video, from reading the comments there seems to be confusion on what year year 2wd s10 blazer to find for the brake parts can you clarify those years.

Glad I got to meet you guys by the circle k!

You said you welded some type of bracket for the rear brakes, do you have to do that with the Monte Carlo ss 87 as well or straight bold on… stock vehicle.

If you are going custom bracket for the rear brakes, why not pick better bigger brakes with parking brake?

Tip: Chain the spring to the frame as backup so it does not come flying out.

Great video! Consider doing a video on your trailer receiver/Chute mount combo on you DnD car. I’m currently building a custom receiver for my 85 SS for some Midwest DnD events this year and the off the shelf Curt units won’t allow for exhaust out the back. I like how yours ties into the chute mount to help support the hitch lever arm.

Do you have to change master cylinder

Great video…about to make my purchase. Have a question my rear total weight is 1405. Which springs would I need? Having trouble calculating it.

I'd like to hear more on the rearend set, width or the rear, wheel width and back spacings. I am getting ready to build pretty much the same truck mines even white as well.

Good info! Next, show us your trailer and how you pack it!

I would look at magnafuel pumps like the prostar 525. If running e85 etc, you will want to drain and blow out the lines in the off season. I also put a bit of oil in them when sitting. I have had one fail in 10 years and have magnafuel on most of my projects. Big complaint is they are very noisy, but if the pump is on a switch, you will never walk away and forget to turn it off. lol

Just use 2 fuel pumps

Yeah i like my race cars to be able to drive

c16 ftw..I run my 1988 honda trx 250r on it. I'll be sticking to c16 on my billet cased 380cc big bore that's in the works. VP FTW

I'm having a LS1 5.3 Gen 4 installed in my 87 Grand Wagoneer at this time. I just learned about this DOD business. The engine is supposed to be a rebuilt to zero miles. My question is: Is the DOD delete automatically done on a rebuilt? Should I have it done before the install goes any further? Right now it's just sitting on the mounts, no tranny, no radiator.

Any problem with C16 and your oxygen sensors?

What’d you figure a gen 3 with hbeams and stock rods would be good for? 7-800whp be safe?

Rod Sterling !

I dont know much, but I'm pretty sure you're going to want to go to at least 175lb springs. If you have the room you can go up in spring length one size too.

Sick week gonna be fun as hell

You leave me and my short ass legs alone 😂

Nice video gave me a idea for installing the 4l80 in my g body

Did you do anything with the body mounts? Solid spacers or anything? Thanks.

Has a smx enough said

Step 1, Buy shorter springs.

Did the exhaust side have any differences with the fitment of the Vband or was everything the same? Thanks Was wondering if the eBay Exhaust a/r would also fit the VS turbo

Do you have a game cube??? I feel da vibes bruda

Wished you would of tossed in some YEAR DATES even if its not 100%

This is interesting but don't forget that in 78 atleast an El camino has the older spindles like the 77. Then in 79 all G bodys had the same. Wildwood has a direct bolt up dual piston caliper kit with pads I used that works. Called the dual D154 front caliper kit for under $400 caliper and pads. Not bad if you ask me. I also got the Wildwood 1 inch bore master cylinder and proportion valve that comes off it. Will need to relocate the washer fluid reservoir. Still putting it together. Having issues because the stock has 1/4 and 3/16 brake lines. Will have to modify that if you get the master cylinder. Will update after and also have the drum brakes in rear but wanted to not lock up the rear drums which it did under strong stopping with 255 rear tires and 235 front.

Older vid but very helpful, would I need to change the master or anything to run this swap front & rear?

Met u at ls fest couple years ago

Simple tip, ratchet strap loosely around let’s it fall out of place but not across the room. Enjoy your wrenching and the whips but be safe. 84 monteSS

Okay so I’m trying to up grade my Gbody what tools wud I need to take what I need from the junk yard ?

Heck yeah looks good man its been a minute since i seen it at sickweek . Glad your getting it ironed out. Going be rolling once you get converter dailed in. 💪💯

I used to do it the same way you're doing it. Until I learned it from a seasoned mechanic, And that was having the car on the lift. Next place a tall jack stand under the rear of the control arm. Slowly lower car onto stand and carefully remove rear control arm bolts and carefully raise car and remove spring.Much better than using a hammer and pry for front removal.

87 Gn thanks man!

I want to do the exhaust dump like that on my regal. Has that same spoiler on there. Im gonna go with oval pipe on the street and see if I don't destroy it.

The Easier way is to just take the lower control arm bolts out. Avoids damage to the ball joints and other components.

Nice G-Body 💯🇺🇲💪

Also looking for tips on rebuilding or replacing tilt steering wheel column.

Great video. Really like taking advantage of OEM engineering already done. Can you tell me if this works on a GM A Body (71 Monte Carlo) or if there is a known similar approach for them?

Did this permanently fix the buckling?

Been there did that, worked out good.

🦾🙏🏽

Where could I buy these brackets and do you have the name of the brand?

Do you have the part number and site were to buy the rear bottom bracket?

Is it possible to use the el camino 22 gallon tanks in the coupes? If any modifications are needed then what has to be done? Would really like to put a 22 gallon tank in mine even if it needs to be modded to fit

5.3 out of 04 avalanche has gen3 headbolts, 24 tooth crank with gen4 rods

You got some nice rolling videos of my buddies red S10 red Chevelle white Nova

That hotel in Gainesville is the one we always stay at for Sickweek... did you see the Red Chevelle and a White Nova black vinyl top? That's my buddies.
