Re: Project -underfunded - '68 shortstep/carb'd LSx/200-4r build
Harness is being built for me, as I understand it from scratch. I will be running the e38 ecm, truck intake, and dbw. While the e38 doesn't care what trans is behind it and will run with stick or auto...I think I may as well go all the way with this...........meaning a 4L80e at the very least. That said..............I have my mind set on trying to get my hands on a 6L80e or 6L90e. Then later a dana60 or 14bolt 9.5" SF and then I ought to be able to beat on it at the track and still drive it home.
I've noticed some "new" GM transmissions have a core charge while others don't. I guess they are actually rebuilt? Core charges for 4L80's and 6L80/90's are $800-1000! |

I need to update the url where the pics for this thread now are....but I can't seem to "edit" and of my posts or threads anymore. How to get fixed???

Re: Project -underfunded - '68 shortstep/carb'd LSx/200-4r build
custom harness w/dbw, e38 ecm, and the truck setup because of the truck accessory drive, a mean tune, and hopefully a 6L90e...but I am also getting feedback that the 6L90e can kick motor into limp mode if it feels its be "abused"...something you don't have to worry about with a 4L80e.
Long term.....I imagine swapping my dual plane for a single plane carb intake, getting a set of matched injectors, and a 1000cfm carb style throttle body. Would look more like a "carb" setup which I prefer under the hood of a 40yr old truck. No hurry to get there right now I don't think. |
Re: Project -underfunded - '68 shortstep/carb'd LSx/200-4r build
I cant wait to see some sweet pics. I have had thought of going with that set up my self. But cant seem to because how well mine runs now. And the cost.

Help moderators! I can't edit any of my posts and the pics in this thread go to a dead link. I need to change the url. HELP!
Am I being punished? :lol: ***********EDIT Fixed************ |

That happens all the time. There have been many threads trying to persuade members to upload their pics to the boards gallery,... so they will always be there. |
Re: Project -underfunded - '68 shortstep/carb'd LSx/200-4r build
no, I actually own a domain and have my own server account. Never had any problems before. And besides.....what would that have to do with the EDIT feature/button in the thread?
interesting.....the EDIT buttons that showed up a while ago on todays posts are now gone. *edit- only the LAST post shows EDIT now. ***********EDIT Fixed************ |
Re: Project -underfunded - '68 shortstep/carb'd LSx/200-4r build
edit only lasts for a short time after a post is made. Josh had to implement this due to folks mass deleting things and generally screwing up a major amount of FAQs and threads. Unfortunately editing permissions can not change on a per user basis.. so we would need to do the edit for you. Feel free to report the post that needs an edit, and let us know what needs to change.

Re: Project -underfunded - '68 shortstep/carb'd LSx/200-4r build
OK. I've had requests to fix this thread so that others could follow along with the images. I have traded away the original domain name but also owned the "plural" version if that makes since.
Would it be possible for someone to change the http://www.lsxtruck.com/ to http://www.lsxtrucks.com/? Then they will all magically reappear! Thanks! ***********EDIT Fixed************ |
Re: Project -underfunded - '68 shortstep/carb'd LSx/200-4r build
Hello? Can someone change this (really simple....only adding one character to the url) or does this thread just need to be closed go away?

Re: Project -underfunded - '68 shortstep/carb'd LSx/200-4r build
Yes, and thank you! I've fixed the [img] tags in the threads on other forums and thought I remembered fixing things here in the past...but I guess it became a problem somehow. I wouldn't ask, but have had PM's from other guys doing similar projects, asking about fixing it so they could see. That original url is being traded away though... so everything was moved to the "backup" domain. Some simple to fix, some not so much so.
Thanks again. ***********EDIT Fixed************ |
Re: Project -underfunded - '68 shortstep/carb'd LSx/200-4r build
OK guys......this thread is no longer a good representation of my build. I cannot edit it to make the images appear...something it seems we all seem to live for here. The url address I was using is in transition to a new owner, my images have been moved to a new url... and it seems editing our older posts is no longer available to us here. The mods were kind enough to repair post#1 but don't appear interested in fixing the whole thread...and to tell the truth I don't blame them. That's a lot of "s"'s to add in. :lol:
THAT SAID. I have no motivation either to try and rebuild this thread with a new one... so if there's ANYTHING discussed here that you need to see for your project, please let me know. ***********EDIT Fixed************ |
Re: Project -underfunded - '68 shortstep/carb'd LSx/200-4r build
Maybe you could post the link to the new pic hosting location so we all could find those pics if needed/wanted?
|
Re: Project -underfunded - '68 shortstep/carb'd LSx/200-4r build
that would mean making a private gallery public. let me see about it.....
***********EDIT Fixed************ |
Re: Project -underfunded - '68 shortstep/carb'd LSx/200-4r build
The reason the pics are dead is because the url changed. To correct that someone would have to manually edit each post so that probably not going to happen.
My suggestion would be to use the gallery here to load your pics. That way you know they aren't going anywhere. |
Re: Project -underfunded - '68 shortstep/carb'd LSx/200-4r build
I never debated that. My issue is no longer being able to edit it myself...but I understand it became a problem for some and had to be removed. That's why the rest of the pics can't be seen....because I can't fix them myself.
***********EDIT Fixed************ |
Re: Project -underfunded - '68 shortstep/carb'd LSx/200-4r build
well.....my efi stuff is supposed to ship tomorrow...minus the harness thats coming later due to a b/o connector. I'll start another thread....
***********EDIT fixed in this thread, all pics should be visible************ |
