Comanche SS Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Was the drivetrain out for upgrades or just to free up room for the crash repairs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Both. Engine out makes fixing the crossmember easier and I'm going to a 6.0 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Hopefully keeping an AL block??? All for more displacement, the 6.2 in mine is worlds better than the 5.3 that was there before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love a 6.2 but it's gen 4 and my ecu is for a gen 3 and I don't really want to shell out another 1500+ for it. All the supercharger stuff is so pricey.

You are doing the opposite of what I did lol...I went from a superchard iron 5.3 to an aluminum 6.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70barracuda Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 More progress. Alternator wouldn't fit with the factory steering box so went with a borgeson unit from a full size chevy car. It's super tight but it'll work, and it's a quick ratio box so it should be nicer. Swapped out the camaro supercharger lid for a cadillac one. Hood is so close to making it shut with no cutting. Gonna try some hood spacers and hope it works. Got the front end finished from accident repair. I was worried about the integrity of the front crossmember with it being all bent so I skinned it with some 3/16 plate. Should be way stronger now. Also upgraded to a really nice relay and fuse box so once again redoing all the wiring in the engine bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
