Test run (I guess my thumb was over the dang mic...). Sounds strong! Can't wait for the hot lap

DAMN!

Wish I had an extra 10-15k to do that!

so how is it running on the road? Everything working and shifting right?

Jonathan: Looks like a very nice job. Sounds great. We need an on-road WOT video with 15-60mph runs to compare against the turbo boys...

Honestly have not had much time to spend with it this week since I picked it up on Sunday. I plan to work on it a bit this weekend and I have a pile of parts for Murf to still put on.

Just about everything (except motor/trans) is broken or worn out from it's previous life. It amazes me how the previous owners literally left no part/piece of the cruiser un-trashed. I knew this when I bought it because my plan was to freshen up the whole ride, but much more work to do than even what I remember from when I bought it.

More posts to come as the gears, lockers, interior, sunroof, paint, armor and other pieces start coming together. Besides the running gear, it is still quite a basket case.

Looks great, another very well executed LS swap. I would say this is definitely the way to go for a dead LC motor.....

Do you have a pic of the motor mounts?

I have looked at the DD motor mounts, what ones are you using?

Thanks

Interior work begins... Yanked out all the old carpeting so I could give her a bath before the new carpet, headliner and seat covers. New steering whelk from Metric is so nice...
