Welcome aboard BRP!

Welcome BRP! Lot's of members are interested in these swaps. I'm sure you will be welcomed with open arms.

Welcome to our little corner of the Muscle Car world.
I am sure that type of conversion will continue to gain popularity as more and more of these engines arrive in the junk yards.

Hey guys I’m glad to be joining this site I’m a big 83-88 G-Body enthusiast so I think I’ll be a good fit here. I have 5 83-88 G-bodys myself including the DEI Mrs Goodwrechs old aerocoupe, which I bought from her father with all documentation and is the only car I have ever found with leather from the factory. I also 3 other aerocoupes including a silver 87 I bought new. These are fun cars that you can really enjoy and I’m glad to see there finally starting to get the attention and respect they deserve.



Here is a pic of the black DEI car and my silver car, which are the only cars covered out of the 5 cars in that building which have a 1969 SS/RS 4 speed. 1957 210 heater, radio, clock delete and a 56 Hemi 40K real mile Desoto. So it tells you what I think about a G-Bodys!






I will be posted up images throughout the day of the LS conversion kit I have for the 83-88 G-Body along with fitment shots and details about my new line of Muscle Rod hedders for the LS swaps. The G-Body has had such a weak aftermarket in the past that I decided to make it the first car to release hedders for. If anyone on the forum has any LS related question ill be happy to help.

Welcome to the site.

Welcome - Some great parts you make, and that's a nice collection you have too!

Thanks for the welcome guys, I like that style of shaker hood on that 85 I have never scene that on a Monte before did you run a TA shaker?

I’m not sure where to post yet, so I’m going to show off some of the new products I have for the G-Body in this thread

Here is the first pre order on the new Muscle Rod line of performance hedders for the 1983-1988 G-Body Monte Carlo. The Muscle Rod line of hedders gives the enthusiast the most options for hedder choices so that you can get the right hedder for your project and know its going to fit. I’m offering these at special pricing as a preorder that will be shipped by Wednesday the 18 of this month. These hedders are made by Hedman Hustlers racing division and are designed to make serious horsepower. All hedders feature a thick 3/8s flange with tuned primaries. The pre order prices are listed above the regular retail prices that will only last until the 18 of June. The Muscle Rod line is manufactured by Hustler but is exclusively retailed through BRP under the Muscle Rod product line. Were proud to say made in the USA.

All Hedder’s can be used with the stock GM spark plug wires and have options for O2 bungs on all headers.

BRP is also going to offer complete exhaust systems for these headers that use mandrel bent tubing ether in stainless or aluminized with iconic sounding chambered mufflers. Other muffler options will also be available for those who want a toner sound.

Let me know if you have any questions about these headers or conversion kits all headers are designed off a real car using a BRP LS conversion kit and the GM LH8 oil pan with the stock accessories.

Thanks

BRP we keep your GM all GM by evolving your classic GM to a fuel-efficient ground pounding Muscle Rod using cutting edge GM products. All kits include everything you needed to install a LS engine with full step-by-step directions and a support for any conversion kit if any questions arise during the build. These kits are made so that any one can throw a LS series engine into their vehicle and enjoy the benefits of better fuel mileage and a more reliable drive train from a budget 5.3L build to a extreme LSX powered monster. With the Carburetor kits a LS conversion can become a project that almost anyone can take on in their home garage.

The Muscle Rod line of LS conversion kits comes with a lifetime warranty on our brand new frame mounts, which feature the first rebuild able design of its kind (Patent Pending). These kits come fully cad coater from the frame mounts to the cross member and feature Energy suspension polyurethane bushing.

Welcome aboard BRP!

Looks like some well engineered parts being offered here, and I'm sure the headers are nice also if they carry the Husler name on them.

Do the frame mounts get welded in? I have several questions about this type of swap that would be pretty general for our cars actually. Would you prefer a phone call Phil, or would you mind answering some of them here so everyone could see?

Phil.. go ahead and start a non-product specific LS engine swap thread in the Engine forum. You can offer your stuff up in the Authorized Vendor forum... and of course, respond to questions in any of the threads with your product info.

Paul

Thanks for the welcome, guys I’m working on a basic swap info thread for the engine section now. As soon as I get it up I’m going to put the basics up so ask me all the questions there in case someone else has the same ones. The hedders are really some high quality performance hedders and there all 100% made in the USA at the same facility that builds the NHRA hedders. As for the frame mounts they can be welded in or bolted in, its up to the installer to choose. Ill have this and a whole lot more info once I get the post put together. Thanks again to Paul for letting me join this site, I think a lot more people are going to be running LS engines with the cost of fuel and the availability of low cost 5.3L and 6.0L truck motors that make over great horse power and around 25 MPG in a car

Thanks
Phil

Just made the thread in the engine section so if any one has any questions feel free to ask there

Phil

Does the LH8 oil pan extend below the frame crossmember?

TIA.
