4 Eye redo

[MFIELD]

I decided that I was bored with my car the way it was so:

I have made the decision to swap in a 5.3 LS motor and go back to turbo. I'm picking up an 03 truck motor and I have another TH400 that I can build. I got a MP T76 from another member. I am undecided on how much other work I am going to be doing. Right mow the plan is to fill in all the holes in the engine bay, smooth the firewall and maybe even get rid of all the factory inner sheet metal and just do a tubular front end. I like the Holley fuel injection so I will be going with that for ignition. I have already pulled the old engine and all the front sheet metal. I also pulled the dash and will be rewiring everything. I need to get out the camera and take some pictures. More to come....

[331lx]

U kidding me no pics lol get some pics up soon. The ls motors have lots of potential that's for sure...

[Rich]

It will never run....

[331lx]

All these turbos around here makes me feel left out lol....

[k062693w]

All these turbos around here makes me feel left out lol....

Me Too ... :(

[MFIELD]

It will never run....

Suck it:flipoff:

[MFIELD]

U kidding me no pics lol get some pics up soon. The ls motors have lots of potential that's for sure...

I know, I took a few with my phone but dont think I can post them.

[331lx]

Sure ya can get the photobucket app and post em up lol

[MFIELD]

Heres a couple

[MFIELD]

All the wiring is now out and basically everything under the hood is removed.

[Rich]

Wow...major redo!

[MFIELD]

You know me, I cant leave shit alone

[RIXXX93GT]

Cant wait, did you say fuel injection?

[331lx]

U asshole deep in it like I am mine now lol

[MFIELD]

Cant wait, did you say fuel injection?

Yep, I'm going to do everything I hate all in one, Chevy,fuel injection and automatic

[331lx]

Yep, I'm going to do everything I hate all in one, Chevy,fuel injection and automatic

Hey man nothing wrong with that, i doin the same thing minus the fuel injection, but hey that's the only way to make a chevy hook lol ... Just curious y a 5.3 over a 6.0?

[90fastgt]

This is goin to be a sick car when finished these ls motors are nasty keep the pics coming

[MFIELD]

Just easier and cheaper to find. Cheaper being the key. I'd love to do an 05 5.3 aluminum block but hell I'll just add some boost to make up for the weight.

[evil8]

Excellent choice.

[Kwik92GT]

Excellent choice.

If he plans on going 1/16th mile racing it is. :D

[evil8]

If he plans on going 1/16th mile racing it is. :D

Olean. It requires the same cleanup.

[Blkcobra01]

Nice build can't wait to see more pics love 4 eye cars and even though I'm a ford guy the LS engines are stout and can be built to make some wicked power.

[MFIELD]

Yeah you cant complain about how easy it is to make decent power safely with them.

[MFIELD]

Made a little progress, picked up my motor. I ended up with an 04 5.3. Got the trans core I had torn down to just the case. It really looks pretty good inside so a basic rebuild with good parts and it will be up and ready to go. Got it bolted up and set everything down in. Went pretty good.
http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww324/85gt4v/DFEA8989-422F-471C-A97A-4D694E59D628-16497-00000FA052DB16A2.jpg

Luckily I still had the transmission crossmember I made for a TH400 when I had the mod motor in there and it fits perfect for this set up. I started cutting up my old turbo kit to reuse the flanges and things like that.

I got the intercooler mocked up where it will be inside the dash. Just getting started with it.
http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww324/85gt4v/E548338E-FA04-432E-B349-0BD80F06988F-16497-00000FA0B3F12C57.jpg

I was planning on using engine plates to mount this but I am seeing issues with clearances with a few things. I am trying to do this on a small budget so I dont see a big dollar set of headers. We will see what happens.

[MFIELD]

I was planning on using the the factory intake at first but the engine I got has the drive by wire throttle body that I wasnt planning on using. I will see if I can get an older one that will bolt up or I will have to change the whole thing.

[331lx]

looking good man cant wait to see it finished

[Walter]

Cool build! Whats the rest of the combo?

[MFIELD]

I've got a Master Power T-76 and I will be building my own kit for it. Thinking about running E85 but havent decided for sure on that yet. Going to leave the motor completely stock for now.

I've got some other neat fab ideas but havent started them yet.

[Walter]

Nice. What trans?

[MFIELD]

Turbo 400, i will be doing a rebuild on it as well. I am keeping my TKO and maybe swap it out at some point but I know it will be much better with the auto.

[Walter]

Badass man, it should rip!

[98stangv6]

Can't wait to see it run!

[MFIELD]

Well I made some progress, at least I think. :lol: I decided to mount the engine with motor plates and I am going to add to my cage and tie the front in. I have a local shop making me a couple halos for the front frame rails and lower radiator support. After thats put in I will be adding upper bars that go through the firewall to the exsisting cage and tie them to the front halo and strut towers. Then I am going to make the upper tie bar but I am going to make it bolt in so it can be removed easy to work on everything.

http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww324/85gt4v/97f9b281922a9ad88037ea77bf584797.jpg

I'm also going to be reusing my Ford shorty headers for this build. Rixxx93gt is machining me flanges and a few other small parts for the engine.

[bbfstanger]

how much did the old frt end weigh?
holy easy access!!

[MFIELD]

Didnt weight it yet but was fairly heavy

[331lx]

How long before front end is done, I am dying to cut the front off mine and have been researching others pics that way I have somethin to go off of, hurry up mike i got some sawzall blades and cuttoff wheels waitn lol

[MFIELD]

The material was ordered today and is to be in on Wednesday. Hopefully he has time to bend them and I can get them by next weekend. If thats the case I will have in place by the end of next weekend. I spent a ton on time agonizing if I wanted to do it this way or not.

[331lx]

Chromoly or mild steel, and r u doing front in same size tubing as the cage? I have been waitn to cut mine off so now u just made up my mind

[MFIELD]

Mild steel, cage is 1.75" but the front is going to be 1 5/8.

[331lx]

Mild steel, cage is 1.75" but the front is going to be 1 5/8.

great minds think alike thats what i was planning on using, did you build your motor plates or buy them???

[MFIELD]

I will be making my own

[331lx]

I will be making my own

nice, me to, well keep up the good work man i am anxious to see the pics, i will be starting on mine soon:bigthumb

[Xowner]

Curious why you didnt want to use the drive by wire?

[331lx]

Mike are u doing urs like these??

Didnt plan on getting a motor with it so I didnt get the pedal assy and I would just rather have the cable.

I am doing more of the rails in tubing. I will have about 1" of rail in front of the tower and then a tubular halo out to the front.

[adragon72]

that's a major change there buddy! i'm interested to see how the front end goes back on. are you thinking of using a one piece front end also?

[MFIELD]

that's a major change there buddy! i'm interested to see how the front end goes back on. are you thinking of using a one piece front end also?

No, stock sheet metal

[MFIELD]

Made some progress, here is the front engine plate. I made a template of the front of the block and gave it to RIXXX93GT. He worked his magic on the computer and cnc'd me out a perfect piece the first time. It fits like a glove. He also made me some sweet adapters for the water inlets to run my electric pump remotely. This piece started out as just a blank solid plate.
http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww324/85gt4v/C71B1383-13C0-4DCC-B58A-CEC4E068E7A8-425-00000039B9C4B8E4.jpg

I also was able to pick up my tubing today. I got the frame rails trimmed back and capped. Then I fit the main halo and tacked it in place. Test fit the front end back on the car and it fits perfect in the front cover. Then I fit the lower halo for the radiator.
http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww324/85gt4v/26015CC5-1B94-44CC-9C82-0A792ABE1AD7-425-00000039A9A225E9.jpg

Tomorrow I will finish weld all this up and start on fitting the engine plate in the car and fabbing up mounts for the sides. I bought a mid plate but its not going to work for my car so I will have to be making my own of that to:(

If you look closely at the first picture you can see one of the header flanges Rick also made. Top notch stuff.

[331lx]

Looking good man, are you makin any brackets to support the front clip off of your tubing

[k062693w]

Looks Great Mike ...

[MFIELD]

Looking good man, are you makin any brackets to support the front clip off of your tubing

Yes, i am going to make the upper tie bar a bolt on piece so I can remove it. I will be making some braces off of it

[331lx]

Nice, can't wait to c pics

[bbfstanger]

looks good mike!
is that gonna reach out to the frt bumper cover?

[chad393na]

Looks killer Mike!!!

[Blkcobra01]

Looks good.

[MFIELD]

looks good mike!
is that gonna reach out to the frt bumper cover?

Yes, it fits perfect to the inside of the cover. I test fit the front end back on before final welding.

[MFIELD]

Got a little more work done. Engine and trans is all square. Trimmed the motor plate so it will fit between the rails. Made a template for the mounting brackets.
http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww324/85gt4v/7449B38A-4BF3-4E52-BB6B-4F6E25F0EA9B-1263-0000010459F9B705.jpg

Cut the flanges off my old GT40p headers, I need to work the tubing to open it up to the new flanges but that wont be hard. Its much closer than the pictures look.
http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww324/85gt4v/14133D24-E9E9-4005-BBBE-2976B478E8E9-1263-000001043C865E93.jpg

[331lx]

Looks good man, whats the compression ratio on a 5.3 motor by chance...

[MFIELD]

This one is 9.5:1

[331lx]

This one is 9.5:1

Gotcha, was curious with them being so common as a turbo motor

[Rick93coupe]

Looks killer Mike, can't wait to see it in person.

[sprayn93coupe]

Looks good mike!

[5.0calypso93lx]

I don't get why everyone is jumping on the bandwagon with these stupid motors? I mean, they're the same technology is a production 302 block...

You can swap that TB for a cable driven truck TB. Not only is it more complicated, but it's more expensive as the HP EFI requires an add on to be able to use DBW.

[MFIELD]

Yeah, thats what I am doing with the throttle body

[MFIELD]

Made some progress, got the motor mount brackets all fit and welded. I also got the front motor plate fit, the mid plate made and fit and started welding up some of the holes.

http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww324/85gt4v/5F9912AC-EFE4-4BE8-850F-4E342100E08A-1406-00000207F9B343C9.jpg

DBW has it's place although I'm not typically a fan. The Holley system only requires an additional wiring harness to use this feature. The car is looking great Mike:bigthumb

[Stangman]

Damn.... hacked the nose off.... shits gettin serious!

[331lx]

Lookin good man filling those lil holes suck

[MFIELD]

Thanks guys, wait till I cut the firewall out.:D

[98stangv6]

One step closer! Looking good.

[MFIELD]

Time for a little update. I was planning on using the new Holley high rise manifold but it is on back order and I decided not to wait any longer I went with a Vic Jr and elbow. This will easily fit under the hood. I was back and forth on the vic jr and the super victor but after looking at all the specs they were so close I went with the smaller. The biggest difference was the flange height and I can add my carb spacer as you see and that is basically a super victor now. Port sizes were almost identical.
http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww324/85gt4v/202ae3253af40180cdc86a213ca0cfcf.jpg
I ended up fabbing my own headers after some very good advice from Jason Zimmers, thanks man, it was a learning experience but I am pretty happy with them.
http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww324/85gt4v/b7ab5a17877bf86e49e72039f7db2836.jpg

http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww324/85gt4v/a6f2ab4bb5eb37307b42015bd1f0349f.jpg

I have some finish grinding to do on them and then this year they will getted painted. Once I get all the bugs worked out I will have Kenny coat them.

I also got the turbo mount made up and have almost all the hotside made up, just waiting on the v bands to come in.
http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww324/85gt4v/58e9b126f5c95cb808eb98f8bfd21016.jpg

I have everything else out of the interior and ready to pull the engine and cut out the firewall. Hopefully it warms up some soon and I get more time in the garage.

[dsmawd350]

Coming along one day I hope to have a nice garage and the tools to mess with something like this myself

[evil8]

Just saw this yesterday. Its looking good.

[MFIELD]

I dont by any means have a nice garage to speak of. I tripped over my raditor the other day and was ready to throw it through the wall.:lol:

[MFIELD]

Just saw this yesterday. Its looking good.

Thanks, I fit up the original DBW throttle body to get an idea of where its going to fit to the firewall and it doesnt even cover the entire whole of the elbow. Do you know if they are different then the cable style?

[evil8]

They have the same footprint. The Edelbrock elbows are machined to fit a multitude of different TB's. Turn the car around in your garage and I might have seen that.

[MFIELD]

You been by?

[evil8]

I saw the back of it yesterday heading over to Ktown.

[MFIELD]

Stop by sometime

[evil8]

Stop by sometime

PM me a number and we will check that thang out!

[331lx]

Lookin good man, what turbo u using? And did u get a custom cam. More specific on cuttin out firewall lol how radical are u cuttin ha

[MFIELD]

Lookin good man, what turbo u using? And did u get a custom cam. More specific on cuttin out firewall lol how radical are u cuttin ha

Master power T-76, stock cam for now unless I find a smokin deal. Firewall will be basically smooth except for where to piping is coming out.

[331lx]

Nice, should run solid nines

[90fastgt]

Looking good

[Zimmersfab]

Lookin good man, nice job on the headers

[MFIELD]

Lookin good man, nice job on the headers

Thanks, wouldnt have even tried without your advice.

Should weigh 2200 with driver LOL

Hell yeah:bigthumb

[331lx]

Holy Hell mike, I'm cuttin my front off, but I dont think I can do my firewall lol, u replacing it with steel or aluminum.

[Stangman]

Good lord!! I dont think I could do that with a clear conscience....... lol

[MFIELD]

Holy Hell mike, I'm cuttin my front off, but I dont think I can do my firewall lol, u replacing it with steel or aluminum.

Steel, it will be all welded back in. Just out of one piece instead of filling all the holes seperately. I may even do a small setback in the center. Havent decided yet.

[MFIELD]

Good lord!! I dont think I could do that with a clear conscience....... lol

Dude I have put two cars together to make one before at factory seems and you couldnt tell one bit. This is nothing.

[Stangman]

Touche'

lol

[331lx]

If ur doin it might as well make a set back for more room man

[RIXXX93GT]

Looks great, uhhh what happened to the motor plate dude? Like the headers!

[MFIELD]

Looks great, uhhh what happened to the motor plate dude? Like the headers!

I'm using that one for a template to give to you to cut out the final. That way I dont ruin another $70 piece of aluminum.:lol: i'm thinking about going a little thicker than before.

[Blkcobra01]

Looks good nice headers as well.

[MFIELD]

Thanks, cant wait till the v bands get here to finish the hot side.

[331lx]

this all stainless or mild steel?

[MFIELD]

Mild steel

[331lx]

thats what we did brians out of, i may do mine out of stainless since i got a new tig welder in the garage, this thing is looking good man we got similar things goin on, hope mine looks as good as yours though lol

[MFIELD]

Thanks man, I've got a Tig to but I dont do it often enough to feel that comfortable. Maybe some day. Wen you thinking yours will be done? Mine may have to take a back seat soon if this sequestration takes place. The wife is going to take a hit and there wont be any play money.

What are you using for ignition?

[331lx]

Idk man hard telling, prolly using the factory ecm with hptuner software, mine is on hold right now my wife having stomach problems we have been in and out of er lately trying to figure out what's wrong

[MFIELD]

That sucks, hope she gets better soon.

[RIXXX93GT]

Idk man hard telling, prolly using the factory ecm with hptuner software, mine is on hold right now my wife having stomach problems we have been in and out of er lately trying to figure out what's wrong

Get her thyroid checked, that shit can wreck your whole body.

[MFIELD]

Get her thyroid checked, that shit can wreck your whole body.

This man knows

[331lx]

Get her thyroid checked, that shit can wreck your whole body.

Will do, I take it u know from experience? What were ur symptoms

[RIXXX93GT]

Not my experiences but my wifes. I'll pm you the details.

I will make pieces to fill in the upper area next and then weld it solid and finish it off.

[MFIELD]

Thanks guys

[331lx]

U still needing a tb mike?

[MFIELD]

Yeah the only thing I have is the dbw one and I am not using it.

[331lx]

I have a factory cable driven one no sensors on it, pm me a offer if u want it

[MFIELD]

Not really even sure what something like that is worth. Where are you located? How many sensors are on it? Just tps?

[331lx]

I think 2, not sure I am n southeast Indiana but I can ship to u

[MFIELD]

Let me think about it. I may just get a big aftermarket one.

[331lx]

Let me think about it. I may just get a big aftermarket one.

[331lx]

looking good mike keep up the good work

[RIXXX93GT]

Fancy shmancy, I suggest throwing a coat of paint on the balancer..LOL

[evil8]

I suggest throwing that balancer in the junk pile.

[evil8]

Also......LS1 swap.

[MFIELD]

Fancy shmancy, I suggest throwing a coat of paint on the balancer..LOL

It along with other things will get some paint before all is done.


Evil, this time around it will be a budget build to get everything fitting and running. Then new internals and more boost.:D

[evil8]

Copy that. Just make sure its not getting too heated, the balancers can fail with excessive heat and 8500 rpm.

[331lx]

I doubt 8500 rpm r in this engines future, stock cam ain't gonna pull there n stock rod bolts ain't gonna like that lol

[5.0calypso93lx]

You do not mess around Mike. Wish I had your time! And skills!

[MFIELD]

Made a little progress before running out of wire. Started to mock up the cold side.
http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww324/85gt4v/57B0737B-C081-41C5-AF79-6BBFE23DE8FB-2736-000003E272366DC9.jpg

AWESOME work as Always Mike !!!



Looks Killer !!!

[331lx]

very slick mike, ur coldside mild steel to or aluminum??

[MFIELD]

Aluminum except for the short piece where the blow off valve is. It was already made with the flange so I am just using it like it was.

[331lx]

Well u def got it lookin good

[sprayn93coupe]

Looking good!

[RIXXX93GT]

Well if you hadn't used all your wire on someones silly wacky projects you may have got it done! Thanks again bud!

Well if you hadn't used all your wire on someones silly wacky projects you may have got it done! Thanks again bud!

Lol, I'll make it up on the next job you bring me. ;)

[MFIELD]

Wow I guess it has been a while since i updated this thread. Some of the plans changed along the way as they always do. I decided the Holley EFI and all the supporting parts to go with it just wasnt in the budget right now. I went with an MSD ignition for The fire and I still had a carb and the carb hat from my old set up. As it sits now the car is ready to take to the track and start tuning. So here are some more current pictures.

I added two upper bars that tie the main cage to the front end then put the upper rails back on. It's all painted and ready to go. Cant wait for some better weather.

Wow great work

Looks awesome Mike. I like your waterpump placement, that's out of the box thinking.

Thanks, I tried to use as much stuff that I already had. That also gave me more room in front of the engine not running the factory water pump.

Ultimately I will end up with the Holley like you have.

Looking good Mike. I just bought a Holley HP setup for my car. Now I just need to Racepak dash to go with it.

I know what you mean, it's hard to stuff all that up front, mines on the frame rail. Your going to love the Holley, it really is a sweet system.

I was going to make a comment on the water pump placement too, that's slick. :bigthumb

Looks great.

any updates on this mike it looks scary similar to my setup....

[MFIELD]

Not really, I havent had much time to work on it. I was having trouble with the carb on the dyno and couldnt make a complete pull.

[331lx]

what kinda carb u running? I will be using one from kevin at csu.

[dr59l]

Blo thru is how I wanted do mine if put Turbo on. I was advised to go efi but I'm watching u guys see how turns out. Keep us posted on blo thru drivability an response

[MFIELD]

My old 302 motor that was blow thru was great. I could drive it anywhere and ran 10.68@139 on the rev limiter with a 4 speed behind it. For some reason I cant get this carb setup correct.

[331lx]

lots of guys on yellowbullet running blow through and having great success so I gonna try my shot at it

[TooFast98Cobra]

Looking good .

I built my own. What I cant seem to figure out is why it doesnt want to keep up this time. I have done the exact same thing to both carbs and they have totally different results.

[331lx]

hmm. keep running out of fuel and goin lean? what fuel system you using?

[MFIELD]

Going lean, same fuel system I had been using. A1000 pump and boost sensitive regulator

[JIMS SVT]

Need new filters? Had that issue with a eliminator pump on my turbo car.

[MFIELD]

Dont think so Jim, pressure would raise like it should but a/f would go lean fast just after boost. I have a big canister type filter on it and checked it as I was putting everything together.

[JIMS SVT]

Checked it or changed it? Sounds exactly like how mine was doing when the filters needed changed.

[MFIELD]

Took it apart and cleaned the element.

[MFIELD]

This is the one i have.

change filter just to see could b something so simple

[JIMS SVT]

change filter just to see could b something so simple

That's why I mentioned it. I ended up borrowing a bigger pump and filter setup for mine. Then decided to check my filter setup out. Swapped new elements in my housings and put my pump back on. It was fine. Hope its.something this simple.
