  1. When I seen it, I really liked it and felt a want. But it’s got tough to beat competition performance wise in stock trim. Some bolt-on mods and proper tuning and I bet it would be a little beast! So many choices for fun fast cars!
  2. LS = easy because it's been done a zillion times and it's cheaper. Mopar to S10, not so much...
  3. Thank you to all who served in the past and still serve present!
  4. No way I'd do that swap. I'd do a small LS. 4.8L or 5.3L I'm sure would knock down over 25mpg's with easy driving.
  5. I must be getting old because I also have been wanting a Vette. There is a C7 same color on youtube that goes by Detoxx I used to follow when he was D1X ProCharged.... https://www.youtube.com/user/detoxx03/videos?view=0&sort=dd&flow=grid Easy to make good power with these cars... See the videos of C6 ZO6's on RPM... https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=race+proven+motorsports+c6+z06+ I'll post more later....
  6. It might not be a spark issue. Check fuel pressure, fuel pump and check for vacuum leaks. A gas cap vacuum leak or vacuum leak at the gas fill tube to tank, o-ring on top of tank where the pump is -- can cause 4.6's to jerk/miss like a mofo. My GT would miss/jerk because vacuum leak at tank.
  7. What did the harness have to do with over heating?
  8. The Camaro got 8.85mpg's Friday. lol E85 and a lead foot = bad mpg's! That and the way it's tuned, it goes to .7xx to .8xx lambda right off throttle tip in. It's weird. Are all boosted cars on Ethanol tuned this way? I mean, I can be barely be on the gas and it'll do .7 to .8 lambda.
  9. I don't care much about mpg's in my hotrod as I don't daily drive it anymore, but I'd still like an accurate readout on the info.
  10. So my Camaro SS was telling me I was getting great gas mileage, but the gauge was telling me a different story. It said I averaged 18.5 mpg with some extended idle time and heavy stop and go traffic. After the math on the last fill-up, actual MPG’s was 9 mpg. Not sure why it’s reading so far off. Any ideas?
  11. That’s exactly what happened. A Kubota Zero Turn, Harley Davidson, Honda CBR1000RR, Blackstone flat top grill, Kamado Joe Big Joe 3, etc. It was hard to get motivated to move all that just to drive it to work.
  12. My TQ Converter still feels like it's in lock-up. I never had that TC issue until I swapped to the CTSV 6L90. That said... I gave Tim King all the parts I had to rebuild everything! Hoping it doesn't do the same crap again and break because I'm so sick of trans problems! Swear I'll sale it and move on to a new ZL1.
  13. Had the high lift garage doors done later on the 2 post side.
  14. My 10,000lb Nussbaum and 9,000lb Forward 4 post lift.
  15. BTW, Sonnax Zip Kit is what I used when rebuilding the 6L90. Also, new GM TEHCM, etc.
  16. Barring no other mechanical failure(s), it's time to do paint, body and wheels.
