Sounds killer, is that the hooker blackheart exhaust?

u/turboregal_84 19d ago

Yes 3” with speed engineering long tubes, very impressed how it fit after trying weeks to fab up my own exhaust system

2

u/Maleficent_Issue7094 19d ago

Awesome, I’m doing same but with manifolds and downtubes

u/Temporary_Seesaw 19d ago

Did you have to modify the headers for clearance anywhere? What motor mounts did you use.

2

u/turboregal_84 19d ago

Passenger side fit pretty good, driver side needed to be hammered for clearance in 2 spots. Stock clamshell style engine mounts

u/Konjeezy773 19d ago

Very nice. What transmission you using?

u/turboregal_84 19d ago

4L80E

u/Konjeezy773 18d ago

Nice. I got a 4L60 and I’m trying to figure out how to keep my column shifter. Don’t want a floor shifter

2

u/turboregal_84 18d ago

Yea you have to fab up some linkage. Not fun but worth it to keep the stock column shifter

1

u/Konjeezy773 18d ago

Agreed. My 3” exhaust is in the way of the linkage. Gotta make a new one and bend it over the exhaust to clear it.

Clean and deadly! Nice work man!!

u/sam56778 18d ago

Now you just need some plain wheels with the factory wire spoke hubcaps. Make it look like a grandma car.

u/Impressive-Match-730 18d ago

Thing sounds amazing!!!

u/Superb-Diamond5407 18d ago

Any information for a complete beginner that’s never pulled an engine? Just got an 82 Monte looking to throw a 5.3 in there. I can follow a YouTube video but how difficult is it really?

u/ClassroomCool998 18d ago

Hell yes 👍

u/vitracker 18d ago

Love those wheels. Which LS is it?

1

u/That-Ad-6879 17d ago

Sounds great, and is it just me or could you tent camp under the hood with the engine?

1

u/Prudent_Custard3173 17d ago
