ROLF, Soon coming

Today is a heck of a good day. Glad to report that my new motor has started first time, well kind of after finding out that my battery was dead and wouldn't hold the charge. after a few more battery under the hood of DA beast, finally found a good one and really happy to say that the motor is runnin...

You have no idea. I'll bet I do. Late seventies & early eighties I had a Chevy Vega (remember those?) that had a built 327 under the hood, turbo 350 trans with a 2500 rpm stall torque converter, and 4:11 geared differential. Brought a smile to my face every time I fired it up, and even more so ...

You have no idea. it is so close now. i just want to fire that new motor. if all goes well? this week end "sunny day" i should be able to do all the wiring and ignition wires and we should give it a try for a start. "All will be recorded on video, iphone and camera" LMAO So excit...

Also forgot to ask if anyone might know of a Vehicle where i can get a Y pipe or Down pipe for my Van as it has now a Flowmaster headers. i don't want to go to the shop and have one custom done, not trying to go cheap or anything, but that is a project that i want to do all on my own. i'll go to the...

Yup, Custom made is awesome. But, How do our vans compare to sierras and avalanches for width ? I've seen some people mount the sierra bushwhacker gaurds on the Stro but keep the stock bumper. If the width is the same, ECB in Australia makes a nice bull bar/bumper for the avalanche that might fit o...

Some little progress has been done as i finally installed my new custom made fuel lines, put tranny fluid, some ignition parts were installed, my new electric water pump was removed and put a mechanical one instead as i spoke to some of my customers that rebuild alternator and radiator and what they...

First day of 2013, resuming my project. Got my new water pump installed, My new Custom made Fuel lines are installed, some wires done, put tranny fluid in the tranny and i was hoping to do the same for the motor, but Lordco gave me a wrong oil filter I need to do some break work, both front and rear...

Yes i use the OEM bushings from the Chevy dealer, wasn't cheap either, but worth the money as my original one were shot.

As you went for the lift on your van! have you noticed that your shift linkage got a little tighter? how did you manage to solve that problem as my van is finally on it's new 2" spacers, but my shift linkage is now a little shorter and barely reach the transmission.

Thank you The sub frame took me about almost a week to clean up and took about 2 days to under coat it, plus finding a good shop to press in my new bushings was another story, but found one none the less and he did a good job. Now as of tomorrow, i have to insure my other truck and will carry on, on...

All things are starting to take shape now. My new tranny met the motor earlier this week and thursday, the motor and tranny met the subframe. Sometime next week, i will finish up the suspensions, steering and tie rod ends, calipers and will finally put the wheels back on and wheel everything back in...

home made remedy? or another way around to remove them?

does anyone know hoe to remove those upper control arm bushings as mine simply won't move at all. My sub frame is finally out of the van and replacing all suspension and steering parts, but i can't do it without replacing the upper control arm bushings. any feed back will be greatly appreciated. Tha...

Finally got my project going now. "About time" The rear suspension is finally done and will soon do the front suspension and currently under the process of removing the tranny and motor and the rest of the goodies that will soon follow. Will post some pictures of my progress other than the...
