    305 swap questions

    You've got to agree with what everyone is saying man. I recently did an LS FI swap into a late 80s Chevy. There is a ton of aftermarket companies making FI kits to get you rolling. Some of the most complete go for around $1000. Really not that bad when you think about it. And you wanna know what...

    Welding a 8.25

    Not trying to hijack the thread or anything but is there a way you can convert our front stock axles to manual locking hub and weld the gears? or would it be cheaper just to buy an automatic locker? I plan on keeping my stock axles for a while, and already have a lunchbox locker installed out back.

    How and where is everyone mounting their iPods?

    I dont have any pics but I ran mine up under the center console to the ash tray. just cut a hole in the bottom and pulled some cord through. Keep it piled in there when the ipod isnt hooked up and just open it and plug it in when it is. Not the fanciest but it works.

    help! stroker running rough

    new lifters, cam, pushrods, rockers, and valves were used due to the parts being worn out of spec. the probelm occurs right off idle as soon as the rpm's are increased. no matter if it's a cold start or if the engine has been running for 10 minutes (that's about the longest I've allowed it to...

    help! stroker running rough

    no the cam is stock for now. I made the judgement call to just leave the jeep here and come back in 2 weeks for it with the super duty. the orignal plan was to leave the lowrider in memphis so the paint and body work could be done but it looks likes I'll just trailer it back here and trailer the...

    help! stroker running rough

    I replaced both upstream and downstream O2 sensors before I ever tried cranking it. as far a TPS I couldn't be sure. is there a voltage reading I could test it with? my fsm is in Louisiana along with all my diagnostic equipment so I'm kinda going at this with just hand tools. but I do have a...

    help! stroker running rough

    I'm 100% sure that the timing is accurate. I installed the chain and gears myslef and the dis location checked out so that ruled it out as well. and as far as inj sizing I couldn't be sure as their size but I know they are the stock units that came in it.
