i want to ditch the torsions completely as well as unloading weight on the front end.
i just got my last piece of the puzzle for the gm lux nav upgrade
6 disc changer , 6 disc harness, gm touch nav, bose lux amp, gps antenna and the nav disc are either here or on the way.
julien i had a small leak from the back of the motor somewhere that was bugging me , thats one , i had an issue with oil pressure on start up , it wouldnt prime for about 3-5 seconds after it fired but then it was completely fine , pretty sure that is the pickup o ring so pulling the oil pan and the heads is more a pita than just the entire motor . this way i can also inspect all bearing as well. so if i have to ill throw all new bearing and rings in it with a quick hone and ill be ok . but i doubt i will .
just sucks custom headgaskets are going to be the only solution . 6 bolt heads gaskets arent as easy to find.
didnt get anything done today because i had to work late but that worked out good got on a prevailing wage job today.
tomorrow ill have a solution to it all with any luck. shouldnt have a problem getting it ready for the throwdown but i wont be handing my keys over to their " pro driver"
