Some of my interests and accomplishments...

 

Check out my Vortec 8100 Swap. I installed a 2001 Vortec 8100 (496 cubic inch) fuel injected Big Block Chevy with custom (DIY) closed loop fuel injection system and distributor-less ignition.  I installed a ZZ502 cam.  Two weeks later a piston fell apart and the 8100 sent a rod out the oil pan and is now out of the truck, here's some pictures of the destruction.

 

 

 

Here's the 2001 Vortec 6.0L (LQ4) truck engine I installed in spring of 2005, ended up selling it on Ebay.  Megasquirt controlling fuel and spark, same as the 8100 above.

I have now come across a Vortec 5.3L and 4L60E I will be installing.  !!!!  Click Vortec 5.3L below.  I test ran the engine on an engine stand using Ethanol made from a moonshine still. I used Megasquirt for fuel and ignition control.

Follow this link for more pics of the 383 LT1 and 305 TPI.  LT1 was installed with a stock 1995 PCM and wiring harness I modified for the swap.  The TPI is controlled by Megasquirt II using a MSD Pro Billet Distributor.  All ignition and fuel control comes from Megasquirt II.

'62 Impala Page has a lot of info on my LT1 swap.  This was my very first fuel injected swap.  The LT1 and the car are now gone, but I've left all the information!!  Included on this page is the VATS page, showing how to bypass GM's anti-theft system used in many early 90's vehicles. 

 

 

 

My '67 Chevy Page has a little info about my pickup. I've done disc brake and 5 lug conversion.  Other changes in store are drop spindles & springs.
