Thanks and I did mount up the kirkey seat. I used the jaz plastic seat mounts. Very easy to install. Tomorrow I'm going to put back in the dash. And tuesday the bumper support will get here and with that I can put the bumper, lights back on it.
PERFECT ride homie, but i was wondering if u knew what all i would need to convert a 1986 chevy brougham over to a 5.3 ls1? can I keep the 700r4? motor mounts? fuel? cam? I wanna got with the same edelbrock setup u got but with a carb. I'm getting in over my head real fast cuase my help is gone. I am only wondering, cuase so far this is the only big body chevy i have seen on here.

Do you plan on going with just a carb style intake and keep it Fuel injected, or are you going to a full blow down carb setup? 700r4 is pretty much just a 4L60E minus some stuff (electronics, etc). you'll need a dished flexplate IIRC. Fuel pump would be dependent on my first question. As far as cam, go custom spec'd all the way. Talk to Pat G, he'll hook you up.

Thanks I plan on going with the carb. Torque conv. could I use the one on the car? Also what kind of motor mounts, if u that i would have to use. I seen a cutlass on here that blew my mind, thats why i want to go that route. thank you again, any help, or info will be grateful.
U can use the 700r4 converter. It will bolt up u just need the hughes spacer. And the motor mounts can be bought from www.hotrodlane.cc and I plan to go turbo once my job picks up good.

good lookin out. I hate workin 2nd shift cant get nothing done, but i will be calling em early in the morn.
Yessir. Accually its only going to cost me what the tubing and intercooler costs. Sinc its carb I only have the jets get bigger. I had the twin t62 garretts with the tial bov and wastegates for about a year and 3 months so I might as well use them. Ill only boost about 7-10psi since my compression is at 12.56:1.

12.5:1 and boost....think of the spool probably be outta vacuum at idle! lol.
Even with C16 or Q16 think it'll hold? Might be better to invest in Meth but that's just me.
Hopefully if I get a bad feeling ill lower the boost till I can save for the pistons and cam. If the ls7s can hold up with 12psi on 91. I'm sure I can manage for a while.
I would seriously consider bigger turbos, and switching to methanol its a drag only car. I think youd be a lot happier, and I think you would find it much more forgiving on the tune.
