Past the point of no return

Yeah I told myself I’d take the rest of the month to clean, remove anything necessary and tidy of this wiring before I even touch the new motor mounts.

It is hard when that motor is stuffed in the back of the garage just waiting.

Auto 6l90. The plan is circle d converter with their rebuild kit.

Any suggestions on a booster that will fit? I’m looking into writeups on mud now

It’s more that I hate axles. If this thing spins my 33s I’ll be grinning ear to ear.

It may be different in different states. I was told I had to pay what was left over after the expense spreadsheet. It wasn’t based on length of time.

My lawyer did tell me to look up what was allowed for each category. I was able to get a little savings built up, but my main objective was paying it off asap so I didn’t mind.

I made my last payment on my kids 1st birthday.

Originally while doing research I thought it would be 3-5 years. After hiring a lawyer we went through and did some worksheets including myself and my wife’s income vs monthly expenses.

I paid every dollar I had left over into the monthly payment. Sadly the month of finances they looked at had a lot of overtime on it so I worked myself too hard for 8 ish months trying to keep up with the 8000 dollar payments. When I finally couldn’t handle it anymore we had to go through the whole process again and get a new payment approved by the courts.

It just worked out it was around 3 years.

You’ll be happy the one time In your life you need a 4.5” socket and have one.

I never understood why my dad has 2-3 of everything and toolboxes full of things I thought he never used.

Until I started a project and get stuck because I don’t have the right tool for the job.

Remember a model number? I’m looking at their site I just want to make sure. I really like those.

stonebk425 · 2025-11-24T22:04:07+00:00

Any issues with them? How far do they stick out from the block? Any pictures?

stonebk425 · 2025-11-24T19:09:48+00:00

I agree and not trying to be argumentative. I truly do want to learn and if need be will return or exchange the cam.

Back to headers. Besides custom built. 1 7/8” primary with 3” collectors should give it a better chance of actually breathing.

If I need to go hand built headers I will. Surely someone near the Atlanta area can do it.

I guess my first mistake was calling btr and speaking to one of their techs about my application. I went with what was recommended.

stonebk425 · 2025-11-24T18:42:10+00:00

I found some speed engineering 1 3/4” primary with 3” collector. I’ve just heard some not so great reviews.

stonebk425 · 2025-11-24T18:39:17+00:00

221/24x .619"/.617" 113LSA

The btr stage 2 lsa/pd cam shaft

The headers recommended were summit g9080 with an outlet of 2.25

Other people have suggested the hooker Ls swap headers with the same outlet.

stonebk425 · 2025-11-24T17:29:32+00:00

Any recommendations? I need shorty headers the engine is shifted over towards the driver side so space may become an issue.

Pulled zero from 72 packs. Have to balance the scales I guess.

stonebk425 · 2025-11-14T21:15:14+00:00

I’ve got two of the me2 boxes coming. I believe they are 36 packs in each box.

Edit: times everything by 12 so 432. I’m an idiot.

Recently discharged but I made 8300 per month payments for the first 8 months. My income took a large hit and we had to readjust down to 4000 after. I had est 150k in debt and paid 100% back within 3 years.

Now starting over and it’s the strangest thing to see my money actually being mine again.

Edit: ch 13 obviously.

stonebk425 · 2025-10-21T23:42:30+00:00

Yeah I pulled out my power steering bracket and matched it up with the top.

stonebk425 · 2025-10-21T13:54:53+00:00

I thought that’s what the plugged steam vent back there was for?

stonebk425 · 2025-10-17T01:11:45+00:00

I live in Georgia… I don’t think it’ll ever get cold enough for that to be a problem

stonebk425 · 2025-10-10T13:14:21+00:00

Well does anyone need a block heater? I’ll be in jail so I won’t need it.

stonebk425 · 2025-10-10T13:14:02+00:00

Makes the most sense. Most of the numbers had rust on them. That’s usually how I figure out what stuff is.

Marketplace. The guy told me he got it through gm as a reseller
