I did the Holley mid mount, I pieced it together and came out cheap than Holley's whole kit.. It can be done! I saved over half! Ill explain if need be, no point unless asked.. Its alot to type out, however to save over 1k, is money in my pocket! Its a great kit, in my case I also went "turbo" so to "pull" all the accessories closer is much much better!

I own a shop. We specialize in LS swaps. But we do all kinds of swaps including coyote, our second most popular swap, hemi, honda etc. We do alot of other stuff but anyways.. nobody has ever asked about a new gen 5 swap. I decided to start researching because id like to do a swap as an advertisement / demo vehicle. And you have made my mind up on a 3rd gen camaro or firebird for that swap. It seems fairly easy and straight forward. Id like to know what you guys do about vats/immobilizer in the ecu tho because ive read that u cannot program it out. However i am just the business owner not the mechanic lol tho i do know alot, my techs might already even have the answer or could find it.

hey matt I have a question I have an 84 trans am and it's not turning over at all not by hand not by the starter I pulled out the spark plugs and there was rust on every single one I believe water got into the engine through the carburetor. I can't get the engine to turn over at all whats my next step?
@lsxmatt3 жыл бұрын
You can try pulling all the plugs and squirting some transmission fluid into the cylinders. Let it sit for a few days and try cranking it over by hand again. You could also have a valve stuck open which a piston could be hitting. I would pull the valve covers and give them all a tap with a rubber mallet to make sure none are stuck.
