I met Andy at the Elkhorn Swap meet a year ago and we were talking about the LS swap into the 66 Impala Convert.....We got hooked up again in early summer this year and were talking about the Ackermann issues these "B" body cars have........Ended up Andy had the GM Service Bulletin from 1966 resolving these issues .........Anyhow......Here we go again........LOL......
Staring point is a pretty nice rust free Caprice.........Putting in a LS3 480 HP/4L70E GM connect and cruise set-up just like we put in Gary and Keith's cars.....

The trans tunnel is tight in these cars and getting the cooling lines out to the radiator is simplified by getting rid of the factory fittings and going aftermarket with trans rated rubber hose......

The next issue is the Holley 302-1 pan contacts the front cross member.......I made up some engine mount adaptor plates to raise the engine a 1/2" to resolve that issue...............

The leg is now getting back to normal and things are starting to move again.......Didn't say anything yesterday, but if you look at the picture below, you will see the front Chinese header bolt is missing......I was using a air ratchet to draw them in and the bolt as it was running down just snapped off.........Talk about getting pissed........That was a signal to go take a Nap.......It was in an accessible position, but getting the drill started in the center of the bolt to drill it out in an area that wasn't the best to see what you were doing.........went to the shop today and thought it thru....Made a bushing to go into the header flange with the metric tap drill size in it.......put it in and it centered the drill perfectly.....drilled thru the bolt and retapped the hole.......problem solved......

Now that my Blood Pressure was down to normal, I went on and finished getting the Front Drive set-up installed........Headers installed on both sides and got the frame trans cross member mounts all welded in.......Time for a nap again (a good one this time)

Got pretty much all the under hood wiring completed today......went to spin the engine over and found out the neutral safety switch is toast......Andy ordered a new one and that will be his winter project to install it.......LOL....Then we had a major disaster.......added coolant to the Radiator to top it off and come out the next morning and a puddle of coolant under the car......Humm !!!!.......Ended up being a pin hole in the Radiator weld seam..........Sheesh !!!!.......First we had Keith's car dropping dirt all over the place, now we have Andy's "Leakasourus" dumping coolant all over the place.........Time to call the Hazmat team again ............Time to get this "Beater" out of the garage......Andy is coming to drive it home next Saturday...........Put a self tapping screw with a rubber grommet thru the Radiator hole and tightened the screw squishing the rubber grommet to seal the leak till the new Radiator shows up and Andy can replace it at his place.......LOL

Ken I don't know how they expect you to work in all this mess!. Atleast the leak was right where you could get at it.

Time to get Andy's car cleaned up and finished.........Spent the day yesterday getting the Dakota Digital modules installed and wired ..............Todays project was to get the Dash cleaned, disassembled, and get the new Gauge assy installed, programmed and installed.......After getting that finished, I started the car and let it run and get up to temperature......Fan Relays kicked the fans on just like they are supposed to.....One of the little issues that pop up every now and then was the neutral safety switch.......This one was broken and going from the early trans to the overdrive created a safety issue........So......I informed Andy the switch was bad and I installed jumper wires to by-pass the old switch...After thinking about it and reading the instructions for the Dakota gear shift position sensor module, I installed a relay and wired it per the instructions..........LOL......Don't need no stinking mechanical switch...... ...Andy is coming to pick it up and drive it home on Saturday....

Drove it for the first time to get the A/C system charged yesterday..........the car rode beautify, But....now I remember why God invented Disc Brakes and quick ratio steering boxes.....LOL.....Andy already changed the steering linkage in car over to the 67 revision so there wasn't any Ackermann issues.....Maybe I'm just used to driving my wife's cars so I am a little spoiled.........Andy is coming tomorrow to pick up this "Heap"........He still has some tweaking to do over the winter, I know he will be upgrading the brakes etc............Hopefully he will continue the thread with the future mod's............
