IIRC, ZFDoc makes an LS adaptor plate. He is THE man when it comes to the ZF6.

Also, I talked to Chris Petris about this... and the CCM is not friendly with the LSx engine controller, you can kiss ABS and ASR goodbye. I did some digging on this when I had my 1992 coupe and came to the conclusion that you really want to start with a 1989, no chassis controller.

With that said, gauge display becomes an issue, so you will need a gauge package. Which, in theory, will be better anyway!

There are other hot rod shops that make adaptors and such to fit and LSx into just about any car.

Since you are in NC, smog will NOT be an issue, period.

Finally, a 408 in a C4 vert... you will need to reinforce that chassis. There is a reason that GM didn't offer the ZR1 as a vert...

The next big trick is the wiring. A good source is eficonnection.com. They have wiring, PCMs, and other things that go bump in the night.

But to answer the question, this can be done! I know it can be done. I just haven't done it.

I would bet money the zero MPH is a result of the other errors. Speed gets processed through the CCM, without a working comm chip, well, all goes to hell.

I would recommend a check of ebay for a good working ECM. The LT1 computer from an F-Body, 1993, will work perfectly.

I have been thinking about this....

There is a back brace from the alternator across... plus a brace from the AC to the header.

I suspect the vibration has been there for a long time... those braces are designed to two things - quell vibrations and reinforce the main bracket. The belt pulls on the compressor, the bracket stops that pull.

I have seen where people will use a longer bolt with a spacer to attach the bracket to the head. I would try that trick.

It is up to $46k with 3 hours to go. It should sell for mid-$50k range, I suspect.

Sweet ride.

sniff... not there today... couldn't get tickets. And I tried.

So many people from 2020 kept there tix and it really left the rest of us out in the cold.

2022 goes on sale in October. I plan on being first in line!!

The Corral is the BEST PARKING in all of LB. Seriously the best.

On the map, about where the purple star is. It's that great. All fenced in, with security guards!! So worth the price bump.

atrophy is a huge problem with collector cars! It's why I am not a fan of these 300 mile C4 ZR1's... every piece of rubber or soft trim is suspect. Sad.

Communications is 90% of the battle in retail. I am surprised he doesn't realize that.

Great to see you back, Steve!!!

As for Wilcox? Don't be so quick to hate on them... Supply chain right now is crippled. My company has so many items on back order, it's tragic. I swear, half our inventory is in a cargo ship in the Santa Monica Bay!!! Last count? 44 cargo vessels backed up waiting entry to the Port of LA.

I do question their lack of communication, tho.

Dirt roads are not good for shine - truer words have never been spoken!

The headlight is an easy fix, really. But you do need to drive it. Just drive it and wash it when you get home!

Hola!

Today... I get to fix the suburban... new ignition key bits... sigh...

Otherwise, it's been typical around here, hot and dry.

Funny thing... Accuweather.com's app tells me that there is no precipitation expected in the next 60 minutes. I think it should say "60 days". That's more accurate.

This has been a sad day in my family history since 1977... The day my Dad passed... 44 years ago... seems like yesterday.

sigh...

on a not-nearly-brighter-side, some asshole broke into Bastet's suburban Sunday night/Monday morning... seems the only thing taken was a bag of loose change... and the ignition was all trashed... attempted GTA. Pissed is a great description.

sigh #2...

Not much going on today... need to get some washer fluid. Wow.

I picked this up last week... well, I ordered it a month ago, but it arrived last week!

This is one well engineered piece... from top to bottom, the design, execution and installation is top notch. So thoroughly thought out. Absolutely impressive.

The install only took about 40 minutes, figure another 30 to get all the tools together.

They have a video that shows the steps, and does so without missing any detail. Very well shot video.

The end result? A shifter with all the precision of a Mauser. So snappy, click-click tight and the throws are so short.

Anyone with a manual transmission equipped C5/6/7 should look into this shifter... it ain't cheap, but it is exquisite...

I meant to tell the world that Matt was ok! I reached out the other day... but that was at work and I didn't remember to share the good news! perhaps it was simple relief?

Oh, well, heading to work (yay!).

IT might be hot on the west coast, but we are super close to the ocean and it hasn't been that bad here yet... hope it stays that way.

Well, J3... it was in the 90s here yesterday!!! And the sun was soooo intense.

The heat breaks today, so we can expect more normal 70s.

Nothing huge to report, really. Just keeping busy!

120k... check grounds around the battery.

These cannot be "real" codes, if so, the engine would run like absolute garbage.

EFI connection has products that will work on the old SBC and use modern LSx PCMs to run the engine. Using GM components, you get a LSx type coil pack and Sequential EFT.

depends on how deep you wanna get.

https://www.eficonnection.com/

they do components that allow you to put LSx PCMs on a conventional SBC or BBC. Neat stuff.

well.... stop spending money.

1. test the alternator
2. what injectors did you get?
3. check grounds - the battery ground to chassis will corrode
4. check battery terminals
5. test the battery

40 codes would imply a bad PCM... if it was true.

Reset and retest... and if you can, list the codes. The codes themselves are the value, not a vague "I have codes, what do they mean" comment.

Hola!

How's the gang? I have been super busy, and can't access the guru from work... some kinda IP block.

I need to get my ass in gear and work on the site... but I suspect that is a few weeks off, we are closing on a refi and are cashing out some equity so we can do some much needed repairs to the house.

I need to run my C6 through the SMOG test tomorrow. That should be a slam dunk, last weekend, I fixed the engine code... P0449 - Evap Vent Solenoid. This little box with 2 wires and a fat hose... it sits up in the frame, above the exhaust, next to the transmission. Not that hard to remove, but it requires jacking and removing the right rear tire. The part cost all of $23! I suspect a dealer, with a lift, would do this job no time at all.

Oh, well, off to work!

Forgot, it's supposed to be in the 70s here today, and sunny.

Morn'n gang!

I am still about... still busy!!

We are doing a refi so we can take out some equity and remodel things a bit.

Work has kept me busy... and my creaky knee is still slowing me down. grrr...

Doing a tune up on my 06 coupe... figured that at 57k miles and 15 years, new plugs and wires would be a good thing...

well... first, the wires area a BITCH to get off... and two, the plugs were in damned good condition. They actually looked nearly new. I don't think they have been replaced, I bought the car with 17k miles. That leaves me impressed in the precision of modern engine controllers. Super impressed.

I finish today, my knee started to get cranky yesterday!

Hope everyone is doing great!!!

It's warmer in Huskerland than it is in SoCal... our high is predicted to max out at 59!!!

Been busy... work does that...

Lamenting that C19 has killed off Sebring for another year. damnit. I am glad it will be on TV. That will be of some solace...

Mow'n lawns at 40 MPH...

Off to work shortly. Shower, then hit the road!

Got lots of small fires to put out...

It was 80 yesterday, today, back to 70 or so... we might get rain next week, but no promises.

Back to breakfast!!

Morning gang!

Whew... been a busy week... and it ain't letting up... lots going on. Work... planning on doing another refi - rates are so damned low!!

Went to my first car show in a year yesterday. It was fun. I will post up some pics later on. I need to get them off my phone first.

I am a "member" of a lose association of car guys here in LA. We are called the Crazy 8's. It's not so much a club, as a group of friends who cruise together to events. In the last year, the defacto leader/founder had been doing Sunday morning cruises... well, thanks to Bastet's home bakery business, I couldn't go. We did deliveries at the same time. She has since closed the bakery and now my Sundays are free again!

Yesterday morning about a dozen cars cruised in together. The founder dude has a super clean 68 vette roadster, he led the cruise... in the line, we had a Pantera, 4 or 5 Corvettes, a 67 GTO, 64 Nova SS and 3 or 4 late model Mustangs. Trust me, this was NOT a quiet parade. A number of folks waved and two folks stopped and asked were we were heading! Not a bad little car show, eh?

It was fun to get out... at the event, I would give the crowd, that I observed, an A+ for COVID mitigation. Everyone was wearing a mask, save the singer in the band (he gets a pass). Everyone that I spoke to kept distance and everyone used elbow bumps. Collectively, it was impressive... and yes, it was PACKED. I think there was a lot of pent up desire to do something and a nice, sunny, breezy morning was the perfect solution.

I did leave early, I didn't intend to stay long, because my knee was getting tight and I didn't want to risk over exposure.

As for the show itself, very nice. Lots of super clean and super cool cars. I would guess well over 100 cars showed up. There are two lots, plus street side and a back lot. I don't know if the back lot was full, but everything else was! If interested, the location is called the Automobile Driving Museum, in El Segundo, CA. I used to docent there, but bought a house... Perhaps I should try again.

Aloha.

All is well here. Sorry about the deferred cruise... COVID has put the brakes on way too many things.
