Aloha DUDE! Good to have ya! As of recently, you are the second member from Hawai'i to join. The other guy's screen name is Maui4X4. Anyway, you can research some stuff on our Swaps section. You may need to do a bunch of reading, but you'll eventually find something. Good luck!
Sweet! Thanks a lot man!! Looking forward to getting some good advice! Thanks for the welcome!
Don't do it. Get a GenIII 4.8/5.3/6.0 engine instead. Much cleaner running and more performance parts available. LT1s are so 1990s. :laugh:
Hello and Welcome!!!!!!
hi welcome to the site
Thanks everyone!
thought about the gen 3, loving it! This LT1 im picking up is for free, cant beat that! complete from the computer to the full block to the trans.... figure, have fun with that for a bit then save some cash and either go old skool with the carb, or go for the C5..... :D
Oh, and how do i get a pic up on this thread?????
nevermind.... i got it.... maybe next time ill actually check the box first... lol
Aloha...
This place is a great Ohana
nice lookin truck so far lets see some more pics :hyper2:
Damn sweet truck man, are you on Oahu? You will definitely like this place, peeps always around to help. :)
right on fellas! thanks! yah, im on oahu, i just picked up this truck... it was built on kauai... but it only has a 305....so looking to put a lt1 that i found, or a ls1. by the way, does anyone know what trans this came with stock?
I think it came wit the 700R4 if its the automatic though not fully sure. Isnt there salvage yards out there by pearl harbor? I think you would be way better off tryin to score a LS1 vs rebuilding the LT1, just keep the 305 till you run across one.
Ah my bad then it was the 80s based Silvys that had the 700R4s... :(
up through 1992
welcome to the site man thats cool your getting the motor for free you should sell it and get a gen III though or an ls1 like you said like greg said those lt1s are so 1990s hahahah
right on fellas!! thanks for all your help! the next thing im going to try to do is replace the tps, and flush the trans out...
so an update, did the spark plugs, helped a little. Did the trans oil, made a difference, tapped a hammer on the tps and the fault went away! Changing that tomorrow! Thanks for all your aloha!
