C4 LSX Swap

[Rruuff Day]

View attachment 25844 With the new bushings in the rear suspension, the car had a bad bounce to it. Hopefully new shocks will help that out! Should have did them when I had the car apart lol

Good day in Ponoka today Dalen. The Turbo LS C4 sounds great and man does that thing spool up fast and take off.... Good build man.

Still got the 1966 C10 I am waiting to do its 5.3L and 4l60e swap latter this summer/fall. Then hitting the C5 turbo build in the winter. Seems like you only get few months a year to drive them, might as well enjoy it and not work on them. I will do the Turbo build in the C5 Forums, but already collecting parts and figuring out things. Already thinking I might stick this turbo out of the hood......

Drag Radials a little wide, but should make for some good traction at the track, hope the weather holds off for tonight

 

[Rruuff Day]

Hope all your runs are good ones Dalen. Take pictures...

Didn’t do so well at the track. First pass when I shifted into second, I broke a u-joint on the 1/2 shaft. Slicks did there job!! Good thing AMA covers up to 160 km tow with the Gold Membership. They wouldn’t cover if I was Racing, good thing for me it happened in the “Parking Lot”

Wow Dalen.
Any collateral damage to your suspension, wish bones, etc?
I wonder if they make solid u-joints for our cars? The grease passageways inside the u-joints are a commons failure point in high torque apps. Esp in the "parking lot".

Ouch. That's nasty but knowing you, she won't be out of service for very long.

Need a new 1/2 shaft still, but back on the road anyway. Going to have to find a used one, before next track day

So I bought a trailer today (cutting into the 66 C10 & C5 Turbo build budget). I am all ready loaded and heading to the Castrol Raceway for Davenport, AFR, and Accelerated Automotive track day. Can’t wait . Be some cool cars there, and hope to get a good time slip out of the C4
