    LLY: Fuel Return Circuit

    22-4-8 is the correct number for the parker barb adapters, I just purchased them earlier this year to build a new return system for an lbz. Also, I've ran the fuel temp sensor tapped to the harness and repurposed in another vehicle. Currently we use it as an iat sensor in my lb7 Chevelle, just...

    Getting truck smogged problem

    The vin in the ecm needs to match the vin on the dash. Also, the calibration/os needs to be a factory one from gm. The os doesn’t need to be from the year of the vin, just a factory gm one. If you load a factory tune in with all your emission stuff on and change the vin in your ecm to match the...

    LB7 to LLY Swap?

    The swap is pretty straight forward. As some mentioned above there are many threads in this forum walking your thru it step by step. There are LOTS of options. But the simplest is to just swap an entire lly engine, turbo to pan with ecm and harness over. Once that is done all you’ll need is a...

    Chevelle upgrades.

    Latest addition to our program. Went to Socal this past weekend, picked up our new trailer in Ventura. Towed the trailer to Irwindale and then back home. Ran a 6.50 @ 106 in Irwindale and put 1000 miles on the car in the process. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Duramax 2 step

    Here’s a video of my car on the brake, bumping in and getting on the 2 step (pto). I only adjust the rpm setting up or down. Small increments go a long way. The rpm keeps boost in check and makes it very easy to stage/launch. If you want more info I can email it over, logs, diagrams...

    Duramax 2 step

    My lb7 has a 2 step.... I use the pto feature in the tune, hook the ecm wire to my trans brake wire and adj according to track conditions. Works extremely well.

    WoW!

    What trans you going with again?? I just found a local converter guy that is amazing, he is now my go to for all my Allison builds and he is building one for the Chevelle. We will start testing the new one for the Chevelle hopefully by next week. If all goes as planned, we may not be making...

    01 Lb7 Swapped to LLY

    The fuse box plug doesn’t get used. The other single wire plug is for your lb7 eop sensor, you need to move the sensor and standpipe from your lb7 over to your lly in the same location it was on your lb7. Your lly will end up with 2 eop sensors. One feeding the dash, the single wire pigtail in...

    Exactly, we’ve signed up for the Summit Midwest drags and Rocky Mountain Drag week. Need to be ready for a platform for my tires or a small trailer. We’d like to sign up for Hot Rods drag week as well, just haven’t inquired about it yet for this year. Also, we have plans on hitting local...
