    Registry 8x Series V8 Swaps

    Will admit of all the possible problems I thought I might have when I started the swap, the gas pedal never was one I considered.

    First week of gun hunting so it was crowded in the forest but still loved riding some roads and breathing forest air.

    Have had an issue with dead pedal from time to time since the swap. Tried different pedals and throttle body’s but never fixed it. Ended up checking all the grounds and found there was no ground strap from engine to firewall. Put one on and problem is instantly cured. It even has better throttle...

    What apps / devices do you use in your 80 series?

    If I buy a used ipad which one would you buy? I am an old guy using my iPhone and would love a bigger screen to look at. Don’t really want a new one just for the sole purpose of running this app

    Fixed a power steering leak and went for a ride in Bankhead Forest. Old road has been around a long time, some places it is 6 feet or more deep. I can’t begin to tell you how much I love a ride through the forest, it is truly medicine for my soul.

    I did not add any heat shielding and really don’t see the need for it. I live in Alabama and it gets hot here but I had no problems. Actually my wife likes it because her floor boards are a good bit cooler.

    You won’t believe it till you drive it. Nothing like zooming down the interstate passing cars and realizing your cruising 90 mph effortlessly

    Broke down and washed it. My cranking battery was bad , I didn’t know it. When cranking hot sometimes voltage would dip into 8 volt range, engine seemed to turn over fine but the LS ECM did not like that. Luckily battery was under warranty.
