My car physically looks pretty much the same, but has had lots of changes. Stock LS1 to Supercharged LS3. 2D to a Fortin to a S4. Stock GM computer to full Holley system. 3 tube bypass to 4 tube. Fully boxed rear arms. Combo spindle to 2" Hollows. Bigger front arm.

2006 LE3505. Thanks!!!

@SeanRitchie in Havasu is your dude.

Alex Arvizu in Tucson does cutting. He has a decent size table.

Finally finished it up last weekend. Very happy with how it came out.

I agree with Jtmoney. Both of my boosted motors have been built at 10:1 compression. On purpose since I knew I wasn’t going to run crazy boost. That being said. That bore size will be fine. I would for sure get the MLX gaskets.

Buddy just went through an issue. Had a blown head gasket from the engine builder. After doing some research into what the motor was built with and what is preferred with boost, he went with Cometic, 5 layer gasket. The gaskets that the motor came with were only 3 layer. Also, make sure you...

I have the same model but I added 4'. Without the 4' extra, you might be able to fit 1 quad in the kitchen. Dirt bike should be easy to fit with a rail.

Might want to give Kevin McMullen a call before spending that kind of money. He sees/rebuilds all of the boxes out there. He will have good insight. Or @SeanRitchie

What gear box is the R4 sequential? These old school Albins were good back in the day. Sean at Weddle says the new S4/5D are stronger than the old H pattern Albins.

Pete at Main Street RV in Apache Junction AZ.

Been coming here since 1998. Slowest was during the bust of 08 and then Covid. Sign and Drive will make it to where I don't think it will ever slow down again. Sucks.

Total reset. Can't wait to tear it up!!!!!!

So how did the new rates work? That is quite a drop in the rear. General rule of thumb is to not have the top spring differ from the bottom spring by more than 100lbs.

LOL. Nope. We already tested that. Not too much heavier than before. Plus I'm strong. :)

Getting close. Added more steel in the small sections at the top of the door where I drive my rail in. Used Loctite 410 to adhere the steel to the outer skin. There is now steel supports everywhere under where I drive in. Then used pressure treated 2X4 down the center to screw the 2 sheets...

Ramps were rated to 3500 lbs. per Weekend Warrior. There is never more than 2 tires on the ramp at any 1 time, not with the full size car. So no more than 1500-1600 lbs on the ramp.

Wanted to update this and add what my ramp door looks like. Has steel under the wood. I was surprised. Going to add more steel when going back together. Will post more as progress continues.

Trans needs to come out. Car rolled once you removed the CV/Axle because these trans axles are "open diffs", meaning 1 side will spin while the other side doesn't. With the axle out, lift the car off the ground and spin the side with the axle still attached. The opposite side should still spin...

King recommends a certain amount of oil to be used for coil carriers and no reservoir. Amount of oil is based on shock size/stroke. Coil carriers can have nitrogen/no nitrogen on them. It is a preference. I had Kevin McMullen add Shrader valves to my coil carriers just so I have another knob...
