Lt1- 383, forged rotating, 58mm Holly, 10% under balancer, but 4l60e, pacesetter long tubes, FULL tubular underneath, 4 link, panhard, tunnel brace, upgraded coil/icm, electric w pump, Edelbrock 7107 intake, wide band 02, upgrade maf, and I feel like I'm forgetting something.

Hi my friend. Good video of the LT1. I'm in the process of restoring my 94 Trans am. I bought this car as a project. I do all my own work including body work and sand blasting... I bought a 383 stroker short block bran new.. I'm looking to bolt on a supercharger as well. But at the moment I'm in the prepping process to get my Trans am repainted the original black but with a 6" red stripe right down the center.. my trans am is a t-top car so I'm looking into welding a 4 point cage but I'm keeping the back seats in...
@Iexpedite17 жыл бұрын
Back in the early 90's I owned a Z28. I was throwing bolt on parts at it and drag racing every weekend. I ordered an under drive pulley and headed to the local auto hobby shop. Everything I had read said the crank pulley would just fall off after being unbolted. I pulled the bolts and of course the balancer wouldn't budge. I had a friend that was an L98 Z28 racer helping me. We checked out a gear puller but it wouldn't grab the balancer and it kept falling off. I finally asked the mechanic on duty what to do. He suggested an air chisel. It didn't sound like a good idea to me but he was supposed to be an experienced mechanic. He started on the outside of the balancer which did nothing due to the rubber layer of the balancer. He then went next to the ears that the balancer bolted to and the balancer/pulley finally came off. I owned the car for several years after that but I was always pissed I had let that "mechanic" do that to my car. Live and learn I guess. I'm getting angry thinking about it and it was 23 years ago.

With lt4 springs the retainers were tapping on the valve stem seals and slowly bent the pushrods i had hardened but not chromoly so the pushrods had a little give still ran a 12.4 in the 1/4 as an auto still with stock 24 pound injectors bolt on and cam only
