@@jamesbergman4917 The sway bar bracket holes lined up poorly and the sway bar just lands at a weird angle. Also the spring pockets are really low, so if you live in an area with uneven roads or just rough roads they will eventually take a beating. After seeing how much easier it is to do spindles and springs I would do that every time going forward.
@@cwsgarage yea it was my grandpas then my dad got it has his frist truck and it was clapped and year and year down the road the tranny went out so my dad junked it and a few years ago grandpa passed so my dad wants to make a replica because of all the memories of him as a kid with his dad in that square body
@@Thecargohustler I have a few engines laying around already otherwise I would be interested. What are you looking to get for it? I'll see if anyone I know is looking for one.
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing! I'll have some more LS content coming up here in the future so if there's anything you are interested in specifically let me know.
Best way for me to remember, 1,2,4 intake 3,5,6 exhaust. Rotate engine and act like I’m looking from the back. Do the same order. I built many inline cat 6 cylinders that way. I did the valves on my 24 valve like 3 times and finally found one injector was making a rattling sound $$$$$
That is a really good tip! I will try remember that the next time I go to do this. Newton always got the tricks of the trade! Oh yeah those injectors were not cheap! I will likely replace them on here in the future, I have one I can't get to stop leaking between the body and the head. I'll try another crush washer one more time and see what happens lol.
Just need to learn how to do U Joints is all. Simple once learn it though. Always realign the yolk the way it came off cause it's balanced as is when made.
It seems like every thing I work on these days requires both socket sets lol. It was ringing my ears! It just echoes through all that old crusty metal! 😂
@@GrandPitoVic She really did! I'll let her know! The seats were a pain to recover, I did not record that because there are much better videos out there for that lol
“If you’re not doing it a handful of times you’re not doing it right” lol jk Glad it’s finally together because I’m ready to see all the new projects this year!!
So glad you posted this…I (my dad) did this conversion on a T56 years ago so we could keep the stock gauges in our 68 Camaro. Fast forward to now, I’m heavily considering getting the Dakota Digital gauges, but that means I’ll need to reverse this mod to get back to a digital vss. Any idea what the part name/number is for that collar you removed from the shaft (replaced by that blue gear thingy majig)?
Hey I think this may be what you're looking for. I would definitely verify this fits a T56, but I just looked up slip yoke sleeve. www.summitracing.com/parts/ado-8654063?seid=srese1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwbitBhDIARIsABfFYIJ-45vEWJ8FhDCXp_ieYK_TcD0lsULebYmsPDoirLXaaQbbvfp1UNsaAoNtEALw_wcB
@@cwsgarage thank you! This put me on the right path. The t56 has a different part (speedometer reluctor wheel), but this helped a lot. My next quest is to figure out if my tail housing was modified in a way that I can go back to vss or not. Looks like a lot of the vss to cable mods included machining the tail housing , but resulted in both vss and a mechanical drive being in place. Time to crawl under the car I guess!
In Oklahoma we get a tube of orange permatex with every used car purchase. lol Good work as always duder! I enjoy the content, but can’t wait for something carbureted!!!
Well I had to have two back surgeries last year and it slowed me down..i think I need to drop my fuel tank now. May have water in it. Was running a month or so ago. 305 rv cam, th350 trans with mild shift kit. New carb,new plugs,wires,and distributor, recently pulled out my old gauges so I can attempt to install my glowshift gauges, long list
