Thank you. I’m looking into a lot of YouTube videos of swaps, I pick up things here and there, there is so much information out there that I sometimes ask questions just to get a quick direction for the fastest answer. I will try to pick up what I can from the build threads . Thanks again.

Is it recommended to go block hugger exhaust manifolds, shorty headers ? And what is preferred pathway for exhaust to take , y’all running y pipe and single exhaust all the way back or ?? I just brought the LC home today from the mechanic shop with renewed zeal and I’m clearing a space in my...

Well, at least it’s not cotton candy with sprinkles ;) Hahaha

Interesting , yeah that would be more information from a different perspective . I don’t usually follow people or do things like everyone else does, if I see a good idea I incorporate it if it makes sense and I like it. I like how Geargeek did the LS swap and I like some of the ideas she had on...

Well, only thing I can think of is what I like , I get the chocolate dipped waffle cone and one scoop of pralines and cream. I call it a good day when I get some dark chocolate and caramel. :) Cheers

I am in agreement with you on comfort and drive ability , I think there is purpose built vehicles and we can taylor the build for the specific task and if we are lucky, achieve the goal, my taste may or may not be liked by everyone but that’s why Baskin and Robbins is known for 31 plus ice cream...

Thank you for your take on it. You don’t have to worry about aggravating me about your dislike of 37” tires or those that want huge tires to look cool, I’m easy going and my feathers don’t get ruffled easily, everyone has their opinions and preferences. I probably will do the LS swap and get it...

Yeah,… I’m more into functionality than looking all jacked up and top heavy. I do realize that tire height or bottom clearance is one of the most important factors in wheeling . I have seen a build on YouTube where the guy cut his wheel well lip and bent / hammered them up and re-welded and then...

Thanks coach

Had this 80 for a couple years, had the original 4.5 motor pulled for a rebuild but was having a hard time getting someone that wanted to machine it and it was going to cost a bunch and then I found out that the original trans is not as efficient or uses a lot of power to turn and being that the...
