Re: Adding a few cylinders...

Today's progress:

- Drilled clutch master cylinder holes
- Mounted clutch master cylinder/installed pedals
- Took brakes off 3.8 k-member and put them on LS1 k-member
- Put new tie rod ends on k-member, old ones were totally shot
- Took my amp and sub out so I can put it in the boat for the weekend


Still need to do:

- Drop gas tank/old fuel line
- Put T/A tank and lines in
- Power wash engine/tranny/k-member/engine bay
- Install LS7 clutch
- Put solid motor mounts on when putting engine back on k-member
- Put headers on/new spark plugs
- Put engine/tranny back in and put everything back together
- Rewire shift selector so everything works like it's supposed to

Here's a picture of the pedals in all their glory

Re: Adding a few cylinders...

Why solid engine mounts? Isn't this gonna be your daily driver?

[bigairboarder44]

Re: Adding a few cylinders...

Not for the next year. I'll hardly drive it. I've read good things about both poly and solid. But I just went with solids, no real reason. Yeah, there might be a little more vibration than polys but I'm ok with that.

LS7 clutch, really? Never knew you could do that... I take it something has to be done to the Flywheel?

[bigairboarder44]

Re: Adding a few cylinders...

Yeah you gotta get the LS2 flywheel. I'm getting a clutch kit which consists of the clutch, flywheel, flywheel bolts, and pressure plate and bolts. Also ordered a new slave cylinder, new pilot bearing, and alignment tool.

I've read where the LS7 clutch feels like stock but can take a lot more and lots of people recommended it so I said ok I'll do that.

Re: Adding a few cylinders...

Would you mind telling me where youre buying that kit? Have you read threads on this or do you have something going on over on LS1tech?

I know I need a clutch soon (all of it including hydrolics LOL).

Re: Adding a few cylinders...

I got all of that for $645 from Kentucky Speed. There are other places that had the kit for like $30 cheaper but they never got back to answering my questions and they probably didn't have free shipping (KY Speed does).

As far as threads, I just search a LOT on 'Tech. Go to the manual tranny section and search LS7 clutch kit or something. I also read a few threads where people would ask what the best clutch for their set up was and there would be a few people chiming in about the LS7 clutch. That or the monster clutches. But I don't have $900 to put into my future bolt-on bird that won't dyno over 375.

Cool swap bro, and off topic but where are you going to college?

[bigairboarder44]

Re: Adding a few cylinders...

Not Mizzou, although I've got a lot of friends that are heading that way. I'll be on my way to Missouri U of Science and Technology (Rolla) August 14.
