New Caprice - Discussion forums

Just got most if not all my Parts from Texas Speed stage 2 DOD delete, along with a billet Circle D converter. My go to guy that was gonna help me flaked out. Is there any knowledgeable Caprice, G8, SS enthusiasts out there that can take on this task? Looking for someone not necessarily a shop in th...

Love that Burgundy color. I think I'll continue looking at the options from Trackspec Motorsports . They seem to have a good selection of hood louvers, even though they don't offer much protection from water entering the top of your motor, luckily we don't get much rain over here. Lol

Does the G8 hood interchangeable with ours?
Someone must be making a bolt on hood for our PPVs. I'll post a picture of one of a customer who comes here where I had my steelies widened.

Yeah I'm probably overthinking it. I wonder why GM engineers would make such a minor change like that, its only .030 maybe just to screw with us. Lol

One says our bolt pattern is 5X4-3/4" in his fitment b...

Are you guys plugging off the 14mm threaded hole in the pan that has the relief valve during your DOD/cam swaps? Texas Speed recommends plugging it when using the Melling high pressure/ High volume pump #10355HV that is recommended for our L77 motors.
Thanks

A question for undercvppv. What was your rev limit set at? And what diameter converter did you have on it when you spun the bearing. And are you guys blocking off the oil pressure relief valve in the pan after doing the DOD and cam swap? You really didn't have a lot of miles on it for spinning the b...

Thanks Barry. I'm in the So. Cal. Area and I used New Year metal finishing in Santa Ana which was OK for the price around ($150 each). I wish they would of pressure tested it by putting a tire on it prior to powder coating them because I found two tiny pin holes in each of the wheels which had to be...
