Red Cone is one terrifying trail especially the last down hill section.
You betcha. I think the wrinkles are finally out of my seat cover from that one. I knew it was hairy going in. I read up on it through my trail guide book and multiple trail websites. I definitely missed my granny low 4 speed from my old K5 on that downhill, but the deeper low range in the 241 made up for part of it. Plus not having to put my left foot on the clutch pedal allowed me to stand (and I mean STAND) on the brake pedal with both feet.Dphillip said:Red Cone is one terrifying trail especially the last down hill section.
Already have the parts to do so. Actually, I had them before the Red Cone trip and wanted to kick my own tail for not doing the install at that point.ntsqd said:Thought of going Hydraboost? The Bronc-up came to me with it and being able to easily modulate between gentle braking and locked-up on 37's with low pedal effort sold me on them. Had it installed in our CTD and that has made panic stops much more easily managed. Am thinking to convert the '73 SB-SS using CUCV parts.
I'm jazzed for sure. The L29 is an great engine overshadowed by the LS engine family and the bigger brother 8.1. As far as installing into a Squarebody, it's a bolt in affair. No engine mount adapter brackets like I had to use putting the 5.3 in there.CougarCouple said:Bet your pretty jazzed zoomad, we had a 7 liter in a class B Roadtrek definitely had the power. I had to pull the intake due to a bad gasket problem GM had. Saw it on a V6 motor also. Coolant to oil cross contamination. That might explain the reason the intake was pulled, I went with GM replacment gaskets they upgraded the gasket to fix the problem. One things for sure the new motor is gunna fill the engine compartment
