I was wondering... with this rear end will i be able to do the standard LS1 disc brake swap???

That sounds pretty thorough I'll give it a shot! What would you recommend to freshen up exterior, it's weathered pretty good!

Looks like I will more than likely stick with this intercooler, can these be hot tanked to be cleaned?

The project GN I purchased last year came with a bunch of extra parts one of them being a FMIC Spearco intercooler from the 84-85 hotair conversion kit. Im planning on a 4.1L Budget Build so my question is, will this intercooler be sufficient? I am still debating on which turbo to run. Below...

Forgot all about this thread, haha. I found out that the D44 came from Mexico where evidently a few of the Malibus and Montes came with these from the factory. My next question is how strong are Dana 44 units? Should I just keep it and freshen it up or should i hunt down a 10 bolt? And yes I...

Hello, Anyone from the Houston area traveling north? I have a sale pending with Charlief1 but no way to go and pick up the item since i will be on this current work assignment for the next month or two. So if anyone is traveling through Waco or Dallas and wants to help out a fellow GN owner let...

Well this is dissapointing to hear, $200 down the drain. This is the only 4.1 block I found in Houston and I thought I was lucky that it was a '291'

Ill try to get some HD photos up this afternoon as soon as i get the block home and as far as location i have no idea, my buddy just said from the head bolt to water jacket holes. Would it help any if i have the deck resurfaced to see if maybe the cracks are superficial?

I found a '291' block a few weeks ago at a junkyard and this past weekend a buddy of mine cleaned it up and magnafluxed it for me. To my dismay 4 cracks were found all of which are between the water jacket and bolt holes. Is this block just a 200LB piece of scrap metal now? Is there any other...

Thanks for the tips guys :biggrin:

Im currently begining a 4.1 project and Iam having trouble locating the timing cover from a 14 bolt engine but i do have 2 20 bolt covers sitting in my garage. Would I be able to use the 20 bolt cover on the 4.1 as it is or are there some modifications that are required. :confused:
