That is way cool.

I would definitely take it if I could. I have something rattling in the top end of mine now. Hoping that just need to adjust a rocker arm or something.

I'm not in the market but curious what you think these cars are worth with an LS transplant?

by 77mali Tue Apr 07, 2015 3:35 pm

Did you swap an LS into that car? I thought it went into the 73...I'm confused.

Sounds awesome! That's quite a patch too Very Happy

It has a 5.3 out of a chevy Taho with the 4L60E trans so yes its a LS style set up just has truck intake. It was the test car to make sure it would work then I dropped the LS3 into my 73 malibu.

So what are you going to do with the Hood since I don't see away to get that Shaker Hood installed on the LS motor ? Are you going to swap it out ? or have you figured a way to get the shaker to retro fit your car

Nope it fits just fine. Would be a simple bracket that bolts to well-nuts on top of intake and hood closes. See photo of it sitting on intake with hood closed. Has about 1- 1&1/2" clearance for bracket yet.

So push it up into the hole cut out of hood.
And it will look like this.

Covers up the big old intake nice if you ask me. This is one unique car that's for sure.

Sorry Limey that hood is staying put. Ha, unless you buy the whole car then you can have it ALL my friend. The scoop just twists on to the stock air filter and I have one so was going to use the stock air cleaner lid and mount it to intake then twist on scoop and wa-la a real shaker scoop to boot.

by Limey SE Wed Apr 08, 2015 11:29 am

Oh no I didn't want the hood But that shaker Completes that cars look is all...... I am glad it can go on there and yes it does cover the Intake Nicely. It will look very sweet when done and installed

Pretty cool! Nice neat job!

by Limey SE Wed Apr 08, 2015 12:35 pm

Are you going to put the chrome around the shaker Hole or just leave it as is ?

by 77mali Wed Apr 08, 2015 12:38 pm

Save that Grand-AM Chevelle for me will ya? (I wish!)

Have you listed it for sale? Bet somebody would love to have that car. Most of the hard work is done!

Bet if you tried listing it online (for the masses) you could sell it- just link to those videos. Everyone here already has and/or is working on one. Unless of course, secretly, you want to keep it & maybe give it to the Mrs. Very Happy

If I only had the extra Ca$h... Sad
