    Project "Sparkles"-1997 LX450 Gen V 6.2 Swap

    Haven't tried in a few months now but tried for about a month straight. Then work slowed down and funds dried up.

    Weight of 3fe an A440 trans

    Getting ready to ship my 80 from NC and im trying to figure out the shipping weight. It currently has no engine, trans, accessories, AC lines or condenser in it. I know a fully dressed 3fe and accessories is about 700-750 lbs but I have no clue about the a440 trans. I know it's big and heavy...

    Which engine swap to go with?

    I have both engines and can really afford both this was just a fun what if to see how many board members voted for what option for their own personal choice. But to alleviate all the petrol heads in here I was pretty much already going to do the l83 swap and still am mainly as I don't want to...

    Which engine swap to go with?

    Not sure what we are debating here. I've said nothing in my posts that would go against or try to disprove this. When I say balance my 4bt I don't just mean balance the rotating assembly. I bring that one up specifically because its one of the balancing methods that very few people do. Most just...

    Which engine swap to go with?

    Yep L84's are the L83's replacement for the most part. Started in 2019 but the ecu won't work with my l83.

    Which engine swap to go with?

    the majority of the 5.3's came with the 6l80e as they were all in the tahoes and 1/2 ton trucks. Some did come with the bigger trans but I wouldn't touch a 8l90e with a 10 foot pole. They have some serious issues with a class action lawsuit going around. The 10l90E is a great trans but as far as...

    Which engine swap to go with?

    They are very different options.... but they both check all the boxes for what needs to be done, yes a 4bt makes better low end tq for crawling, yes a l83 has a better rpm range for highway use but i'm not building exclusively for either of those. I probaby should have put my background for...

    Which engine swap to go with?

    I used to say this all the time if talking about a full bodied vehicle the noise and vibrations are fine in older vehicles like the bronco of 40's i've driven.... hell I still say this UNLESS the 4bt has been torn apart and balanced. i've now drivien 3 different rigs with a balanced 4bt and it...

    Which engine swap to go with?

    True but regardless of the answer to that question with the drivetrain and mods already done both engines could be used for the same thing. But what it will be used for is the same thing I used it for with the 3fe for all these years. My go "mostly" anywhere rig. I've driving it across the...

    Torfab kit won't work for a 92 or a 6l80e

    Which engine swap to go with?

    So here is my 1st world dilema on which engine swap to go with. Just putting this up for fun more than anything right now. I have both of these motors already so they are the only ones i'm going to consider. What we have here is a classic diesel vs gas/petrol debate. In corner 1 we have a Gen...

    3FE Owners Check-In

    Well this didn't go as planned. The guy I sold my 80 to and then bought it back from had screwed it up something bad and it seemed tried to start and fix it. Found tons of missing and snapped bolts while I was pulling it apart. Could not spin the motor so to get to the Tq converter bolts so...

    Builds Project Rehab

    Not to highjack Darren's thread. I'm reading through it since I just decided to LS swap mine and i'm buying his spare mounts off of him when he gets back this way in September. I can answer this.... its just how the ONSC folks groove. I lived in NC from its inception till 2015. I sold my 80 in...
