thamks, i will be sure to update. pics uploading now.

first order of business was the cv axles.

the passenger side was a breeze


the driver side however was a bitch and a half. could not pry it loose. i ended up tearing the boot in the process :( .


once the axles were out of the way, it was just a lil lift, finagle, and lift and here ya go


L27, this is G.P,and G.P. this is L27 (they'll be close freinds soon enough.)


temporary home behind the house



is htere somethin missing here?


and the rack is bad enough for me to change just because. it has 180k on it and what better time to do it? im letting the lines soak in pb blaster over night.




and power washing tomorrow will be a must. that engine bay is very nasty

Before you put the L67 in, may I recommend getting this...

might as well while you can get to it and its a cheap way to kill some KR.
Also, I would change out the heater hoses for sure and possibly the fuel lines and brake lines if they are rusty.

Wow! I didn't see this coming. Was it a surprise? This is so great, and I'm glad you're doing it so carefully. I can't wait to see that clean engine compartment. Good luck!

thats a good idea. unfortunately i cant wait for arival. but im pretty sure i have a sheet left from when i dynamatted my olds. and pre cut, schmeecut. thats easy. thanks for the idea. the brake lines are rusty. im gonna get some new ones once i get to the store this morning. already got the heater hoses tho.

not really a surprise, kind of an epiphany. realizing the limitations of the W body ecu, and a poorly designed trans mount by myself. but i also have too many cars and its time to clear the driveway! and thanks for the luck. im working on it by myself, so ill need it.

4T60'* haven't had any false knock issues that I'm aware of. Don't sweat the false knock kit.

Looking good. What are the ratio'* of the two racks?

well maybe i'll still wrap the sensor, thats easy.

the parts look up showed 2 racks available. it didnt say the ratio. it just listed the # of ports. 2 or 3 port available. i just got the 3 port, which was on the car originally.

here, it is rainy, so this has been a 200 dollar investment well spent.


"wiper seal" on the inside



the cv knuckle spouged on my compressor


ewww, thats nasty


HEYYY, Thats a NICE Rack! lol


certainly not perfect, but an improvement


the driveway will need some attention from the power washer once the car is moved


i used this to help with the dry time.


i took the rad out just to wash it a little and to spray the lower core support. rad is in pretty good shape.


im deleting the ac. it hasnt worked since i had the car, so it wont be missed.


but i am debating whether or not to remove the condenser. the only reason im contiplating keeping just that in, is that it has protected the rad well so far. but on the other hand, i would get more air flow to the radiator. any opinions on that?

Yeah you will get more airflow as well as rocks and bugs too if your car has not been running hot and you don't plan on going to the track with it, then leave it in. maybe the condenser could be used to cool some other type of fluid. I know of a redneck down here that took the electric pump of an asphalt roller and did some plumbing work to a heater core to cool his turbo oil.

i wire brushed and painted the battery tray. i know it wont stop the rust thats there. but atleast ill slow it down.


rack in place


frame lookin a little better


filling up




and im callin it quits for the night. time for beer and cards, and then more beer
