Glad the car is coming along well!! You'll shake all those bugs out in no time.

Thanks Greg. I'm having fun, regardless of how aggravating it can be. I'm really looking forward to taking my dad for a ride in this junker.
I did a google search regarding the radio noise a couple of weeks back, and yep, the filters are out there. I installed a boat load of car stereos back in my teenage years, and never experienced this before. Car is grounded exceptionally well. I'll figure it out...what are you doing on here anyway? You have a move in date with a new home!

Dang that's painful Scott!

How about some sound clips of the Dronemasters?

Flash I'm sorry, the mufflers are currently on the shelf, and new Borla's are installed....which I haven't heard yet....
I am flowmasters biggest fan. I've bought 5 sets, and an oddball single through the years for cars and trucks I've had...still have a couple of them...The sound is hard to beat in my opinion, at full throttle, but man...I thought my wife's mustangs used to drone. They don't hold a candle to what I just had on this Chevelle. And this car is Hushmatted pretty well! This is my first LS powered build, so I'm learning as I go.
I failed to record a sound clip of the droning. Now that I think about it, if I had of tried to record this, all you would be able to hear was my posi rear end going clickedy clunkedy, pop pop pop...LOL!

Congrats, Scott. Sorry to hear of the rear end trouble though. That's one of those areas where I take my time and am super anal about getting the mesh where I want it to be. So far, I love my TruTrac. I can feel it working with tight turns from stop. It seems to engage well under load too. I only have a couple hundred miles at most on the gears and posi so far. I need to go do a nasty burnout now that I think about it. BRB

Che70velle · #6 03-06-2016, 07:00 PM

Trey, pictures of said nasty burnout, or it never happened!!!
I put a TrueTrac in my brothers truck a couple years ago, and he's super happy with it. I just want to drive the clunker without any issues. Hoping this is the last time I ever see the inside of that 12 bolt!

lol, no gauges or seats right now unfortunately. I do need to do one though just for the hell of it. I'll post a picture eventually.

Hey Scott, look at the bright side...at least your rod bolts aren't banging off your windage tray...

Been there done that with the rear end attempts, only I was too cheap to step up to the True Trac. I'm sure that move is coming soon enough though.

Good luck ironing out the rest of the kinks, it's hot rodding...there are bound to be teething pains, but it'll be worth all the effort in the end.

Lance, I follow your thread and I read about your issues. I found it kind of odd that your RB's are hitting the tray this go around. Honestly your engine woes inspired me to update my thread. I figured we all should get to read about people having real issues building these cars. Stuff happens to all of us!
Hope you get it figured out soon. Keep us posted!
