Hi Dylan, good job, am around the same stage on my build. I have the same welder but can't seem to get that nice sizzle sound on 1mm steel even using the suggested settings, what settings do you use? Thanks.

I play around with the settings a bit and don't really have a set setting. I'll have a look over the weekend and see what I have it set on now and let you know 🤙🏼

I don't understand why any power steering conversion is not electric.Why choose to have pumps and pulleys and belts and hoses instead of a simple electric motor.
@DylanTantos22 күн бұрын
Yeah it's a much simpler option, I agree! Each to their own though, some prefer the old school way. I do have an electric pump to go on this car though!
@stevengriffin787322 күн бұрын
@@DylanTantos No not an electric pump.An electric motor that is coupled directly to the steering to give assistance.Absolutely brilliant.Only works when you turn the wheel so it hardly ever has to work.And doesn't suck up power all the time turning a pump.Lighter too without all the extras and plumbing.I would never go back to hydraulic by choice.

I’m planning on LS swapping my LH pretty soon. Do you know if the tunnel is the same size or smaller between the 6 cylinder & 8 cylinder?
@DylanTantos25 күн бұрын
I believe they are all the same. Some people talk about having to cut the tunnel to get the t56 up higher to correct the angle. From test fitting, mine looks alright but we'll see once we get there 🤙🏼

@nathanbrown1562 ай бұрын
Subscribed and keen to follow the journey mate. I need to do an almost identical conversion on my hatch with an LS1 and T56. All my research says that while the conversion kits may bolt up, the drive shaft angle will be unacceptable. I’ve been advised to mod the tunnel and make a custom gearbox crossmember to get the angle right. Would suck if the headers lose clearance after doing this though as they were designed based on the angle provided by the crossmember in the kit. So everything you’re using is from the rod shop?
@DylanTantos2 ай бұрын
Yeah Nathan I'm using mostly rodshop but for the box I'm using MalWood rear case and cross member. He's said it will fix the angle. From a visual it looks like the angle will be okay but we'll find out soon enough. I'm also doing away with the rodshop mounts and using rubber as anything else will create vibration.
@nathanbrown1562 ай бұрын
Certainly keen to see how it goes mate. When I called around asking conversion mobs about that very setup they all had the same opinion on it and were particularly vocal with their disapproval. The only thing they liked was the short extension housing that places the gear shifter in the right spot. I really hope it works well as it would be a lot less hassle. If you’re able to do an accurate degree angle on the shaft when its all together that would be some very helpful info to share.
@DylanTantos2 ай бұрын
Hopefully it will end up being okay, otherwise I will do what's required to fix it haha. Yeah the MalWood rear case is definitely a go to. I got the full kit and it all seems like quality gear. Heads up the box needs to be stripped to fit the rear case and shift rod correctly, so make sure you buy that before rebuilding the box.

How is ur motor/box angle? Looks like box needs to go up higher in the car more
@DylanTantos2 ай бұрын
Yeah the motor looks like it's angled back a bit but the box appears to line up well with the diff. I didn't tighten the engine mounts up so that could be putting it on more of an angle. We'll see how it looks once we have the new diff in and drive shaft 🤙🏼
