LsBeema

Started with pedal mount

Sweet man. Buddy with a Ls1 in a 46 told me the same. My eager-to-test-drive brain never register that on sat morning🤯🤪

Reverse selector goes stiff after 10 km ph....

Made Ls pump fit..way too free to go into reverse....Have to check why.Need to mount acc.pedal and hook up fan wiring and bleed brakes😓😓 20210213_084601.mp4 20210213_085051.mp4 20210213_083938.mp4

Need an hour more ...modify, mount and assemble Ls fuel pump... bleed brakes... cut and fab air filter hose & pipe+quick mount....hook up fuel pump,fan and sort out 36s wiring, run up & insp temp and fans....uhh..ok..so..3 hrs needed...for a test drive...🙄🙄🙄

Are we seeing the light....

The man!!

4 to 3.5 " for clearances.. Might have to cut quite abit of the bonnet for the mild snorkelling..

2,3 and 4 done

Last time we push this beast😬 She looking different nowdays. The semi chisel contours of the 36 feeling more defined...like shes finally almost ready, stanced, not for low'ness, but for whats under her hood...eagerly awaiting to be unleashed!! And those 3.5s look mental from a distance.....like..."look at this POSER"😂😂

They grind your cams and supply the rest brru.

Such an enjoyable & pleasing part of the build....!!!🤗🤗🤗😎😎😎😎 Have to raise the gearbox and lower the driveshaft center bearing to align the driveshaft coupling to flange. Clearances are so sweet btw!!! Bled the clutch. My first thoughts were I would have to change the master to accomodate the V8 pressure plate...but nah. Steerling Brake advised the 3/4 bore from the e36 master would work...and....shes has a soft az paddle🤗🤗🤗 Have to get and fit the O2 sensors to the exhaust and prep and spray. Oh yea...to tidy up that rear mount of muffler. ..looks rough. Will shift it to the upper so wont be visible. 20210208_085712_1.mp4

Sends pics pls homs

Freakin brake line leaked😤😤. Fitting wrong and i never flare the end enough. First time did that alone during first lockdown......anyway...spaced the muddha and all good. ...will make a new line when I pull the motor out after cert. Franklin cams, called them today for a quote for both V8s. Said the L76 in the Ute, they get around 350-370 atw. My L98...last guy got 400kw(seems way too high) atw...but running 380 to be safe with a mental Port & polish on heads, cam, gears, chain, rods, lifters, springs. .....and I got the long tube headers with dual 3 inch all the freaking way baybear... Even 375kws n/a atw in 1200 kgs..yeahboi!!!

and she waits for tomorrow....
