    Maybe try a driveshaft harmonic dampener first if the vibration isn't too bad.

    Is the cat available at harbor freight, or snapon? Lol. Hope you enjoy your new box. I would have to make the stout a extra cab, standard cabs are pretty small on a stout and I hate being cramped. I've seen a v6 stout but never a v8. I'm curious how it will fit.

    Where did you get the exchanger?

    Is your engine parallel with the frame?

    No. I think they can operate up to their maximum flex since they are constant velocity joints. But you would have to research it. How long is your driveshaft?

    What about using a rzeppa driveshaft instead...

    Thanks. I'll have to compare that to some of the other trans options.

    Curious what the length of the atlas and 8l90 is?

    I wonder if the interceptor alternator will fit? Might be a cheap high output alternator option.

    Ya some had v6 motors. The na v6 had decent power in a sedan like the caprice.

    So is this a turbo version of the 3.6 motor they put in the caprice? Because I've worked on those a bit.

    It looks cool, but I think all the cut outs will make it too hard to clean. I would just do solid plate, then cut out the badges and bolt them or rivet them on. That's my perhaps overly critical opinion anyway haha.

    From wgat ive seen Gm v6 engines are notorious for leaks. Especially timing chain leaks. I would 120% reseal that timing chain cover and replace the cover at the same time. Replace every single seal and gasket on that motor. If something takes fipg, redo it with fresh. If something takes a...

    Typically at highway cruise you can run a lot of advance which is part of a tune many pay little attention too but can give increased mpg. Power enrichment can be set much later in the throttle position which can also help mileage a lot. I'm not sure how much control you have with your setup...

    That's really bad gas mileage. Perhaps it's running too rich and timing isn't advanced enough?

    Looks kinda like a gm version of a eco boost. Could be cool. When will it go under the knife?

    Personally I would venture to a gen5 LT v8 type motor over the Cadillac. Mainly because I think you'll have more aftermarket support. That's just me though. On the Cadillac I think you'll be more on your own since it's a more rare swap. It would be different and cool though. Sounds like you've...

    The main difficulty for stretching the top is stretching the fiberglass in my opinion. But you could just sell the stock fiberglass and build a pop up tent top out of metal or aluminum with a sliding floor for interior access. https://www.pirate4x4.com/threads/project-goin-big-fj40.1028518/
