LQ9’s rock…i have a 11.15:1 compression LS3 headed 370” LQ9 in my nova with a 2.45” pullied LSA supercharger and 220/230 cam with a built 4l65e and 3.42 posi…its a blast to drive but im building a 408 to put in it that way i can put the 370” LQ9 into my vortech supercharged 5.3 swb fleet ‘73 c10
Man that is a beautiful truck…..nice build…i have a similar one but white and its a ‘73 with a vortech supercharged 5.3……i like that seat idea…i might have to look into doing that……mine has a terminator X system with a 220/220 cam , 3000 stalled th350 with 12 bolt 3.73 rear….it scoots….i have a 370” LQ9 that im gonna put in there once i finish building my 408 to replace the 370” thats in my nova…its a 11.15:1 compression LSA supercharged motor and it runs like hell!!!
@@RHLAMBOFGOD I pretty much taped it off and scuffed it all with 220grot sand paper. Cleaned it up and hit it with adhesion promoter before I sprayed the bed liner. I used the raptor liner cause it comes with the spray guy and you can mix it by the quart etc. It's easy to use but you'll need a pressure regulator on your air compressor
@@jnork5005wonder if u can take the factory bar that runs across the back and make a solid one move it further back and weld it it’s gonna be a street/strip truck and i’m trying to get away from the saddle tank
@@seanandersen338 I moved the cross brace in the rear back as far as it would go. I'm sure you could make something more low profile but you'd only gain an inch or so. Not enough to run an ARB or behind the axle shocks. I'd suggest using a smaller tank. This one is 24 gallons.
It's hard to say. Depends on a lot of variables. My truck is torn down again. I'm in the process of building the turbo hot side piping and T56 swap. So it'd be awhile before I could get to it. I'm in Florida also
Man, I really appreciate the video. Question, you mentioned you’re running the 340 high flow pump, but every GM/LS line kit listed doesn’t recommend you use a pump over 255lph. Did you go with Edelbrock or adjustable fuel regulator? Can you provide a parts list in your heading? Thanks for your help’
Hello. I know this video was posted a million years ago, but I wanted to ask; Would you mind making a set of those mounts? I'll pay you 50? Man if you could, I'd be very grateful. I was thinking if you made me a set, instead of welding em on, I would just drill a hole through them and my rack and bolt it on in six spots. If you'd be ok with that, please let me know. I'm leaving my number in a reply, below, for you to text and will take it down in a couple of days. Hopefully you'll see it on time. Thanks for your time.
This would be a way better option. I have no way to bend metal. www.4wd.com/p/smittybilt-heavy-duty-rain-gutter-clamps-for-defender-rack-roof-rack-hds-4/_/R-DSBP-HDS-4?&ecmp=s:google_15855713226___&SC%20Shopping%20-%20Smittybilt%20&%20Wheels%20-%20Performance%20Max&gclid=CjwKCAjw6p-oBhAYEiwAgg2Pgj9aaqjW4F0EaITP6N2h3IwbBgtlcqoZVEXTrF3nGROL2Es-F748yRoCqYgQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
When u made your rear bump stop pad, How far in did you extend the bump pad from the spring plate towns center of vehicle ? (How far does the pad stick out of the spring plate .)
@MrMrsregor yea man. I welded 2 pieces of 1" tube together, drilled a hole in the tube so it would lay flat on the spring plate and clear the center bolt. Then i added a piece of thick flat plate and welded it to the 1" tube. Maybe not the best way to do it but it worked flawlessly.
@@jnork5005 awesome! I’m welding mine as we speak. I probably went overkill because I used scrap laying around… I used two 3/8” x 1.25” bar with 1/4” x 2” flat on top to build a pad that looks similar to yours…. Thanks for the video, inspiration, info!
I know it's been a year, but I like the 17's much better on this truck. I just ordered some 17x8 with 225/60/17 rear and 215 55 17 in the front. Not sure what it will look like. Hoping for the best though
I hope you like it, homie. I'm probably going to get a drag pack for it after I finish up this 6 speed swap. 15x10 rear and 17x7 front. I like this for what it costs and it puts off an OEM vibe because of the center caps
@jnork5005 nice! I'm keeping my 15x10's for special occasions. Got some 555si's for Tucson and asr. Probably be ready for September..got lots of front end work and lowering of center of gravity coming up.
@@jnork5005 I’ll keep looking. I just bought a set of those wheels for my 83 stepside. I like the look of the stock caps better than the ones these wheels come with which is why I’m copying you lol
@jnork5005 it's a great looking stance! What was the drop? More I thought about it I don't want to slam it.. I'm looking to do a shackle and hanger only drop in the rear I can get 4 inches out of that mostly because I want all the travel. For the front just a 3 inch drop spindle
@fr3k5h0w it's 4/6. Spindle and cut springs up front and a flip kit in the rear. I'm running 15x8 op front and 15x10 in the rear with 275/60/15s all the way around. I have a video or 2 with that setup on my page. I like that look more
@jnork5005 oh yeah man, lots of rubber and width. I do like that as well but I don't want to lower it too much. Also don't like too much wheel gap is why I'm choosing 17's with decent meat on em. Going between a 3/4 drop with spindles/shackles and hangers Vs flip kit and spindles with lowering springs but I'd like to retain all the suspension travel. Leaning with no flip kit
@@jnork5005 Sounds great! Might do similar on my 72 Nova. I have an LQ9 with LS6 heads & intake and a TSP 226 cam. Right now it has flowmaster 40s and sounds pretty good, but I want more raspiness when you rev it.
@@jnork5005 Just called Black Widow and they said the Race Venom would give me a mellow rumble down low but sound raspy like a Nascar when I get on it.
@Rickshaw sounds like what you want. Look up some sound clips on em and see if that's what you want. I was under the impression they were really loud at idle
It's an old video, but got some feedback regardless. First off, the camera work is great! You CLEARLY showed what you were doing, and from great angles. Secondly.... I HATE watching people tighten nuts with an impact wrench. There's torque specs on steering components for a reason. If you're showing people how to do it, do it right from start to finish, which means breaking out a torque wrench. I'm guessing you had zero problems regardless, but when you're teaching how to do something, teach it correctly. Aside from that, this was a great video.
Have you had any rubbing issues running those 275/60/15s in the front? What’s the wheel specs as far as width/ backspace? They look perfect with the 4/6
Not really a ton of issues. It does rub some when turning left but I don't have a problem going over normal road conditions or driveways etc. They are 15x8 but I can't remember the BS.
