Default Adapter#

Hey thats going to a hell of a truck. Just wondering if you know the Part # of the of the shaft & adapter from advance adapter. By theway me and a friend did a custom twin turbo on a ls1 in a 69 camaro and it put 600 rwhp.So you should put some ponies down too. I'm building 72 k-5 any input will help. Thank you

I don't have the PN for the adapter off hand, i will see if I can find them.

Got the thing sitting on air now, The tank and valves aren't plumed yet, but for the most part the suspension is mostly built. Here are some more pics.




All the way down,


All the way up


Has about 8" from setting on the stops till the shocks are fully extended. Should ride quite nice some where in the middle

Been a while, so I though I'd give ya an update. The suspension is mostly done, just need a few touch up welds when I pull it back apart for paint. I got the motor, trans and transfer-case mock up. The cross member was a lot bigger PIA then I though it was going to be. I though I would be able to just drop the motor in, weld some tabs to it and bolt the stock 5.3 mounts to them, but nothing even came close for that to work. I ended up building some adapters to bolt some stock replacement 72 mount to the 5.3 and then had to remake the stock cross member, lowering and widening it for every thing to fit. I was a pain, but every thing clears now even with all the air out of the bags.








Here is the adapters and shaft (bottom one) I have to use to bolt the 4L60e to the NP205 t-case.




I have started building the turbo part of the built, but am going to show that in the forced induction section .
