the trans tunnel needs to be modded just to get the 6 speed in there im not sure of the size of the ten speed and then getting everthing to work as it should just getting the 6 speed to play nice is starting to become a mission as for shifters for it there is nothing aftermarket so i need to use the factory ve shifter because of the electronics in it and the tiptronic that i want to retain.
well done on getting the car tho a good score
cheers dean

I just got word from my compliance engineer tonight that we are all systems go for an LSA so time to place my order for that. Now just need to do some more work on the trans research. I'm going to try and get some dimension comparisons from GM on the 6spd auto v the 10spd. If the 10spd is going to mean lots of cutting and shutting then I might just go with a sequential 6spd. Filling out the ICV application next week.
Keep the good advice coming.
Cheers
Scott

Yeah sorry. I apologize to all those traditionalists out there. I fully respect you guys but I am one of those other guys. For me the big picture is the wow factor of it being a bit different to anything else out there. I want to experience comfort, power and a little luxury with a twist of the 60's. One day my desires might change but that's how it is this time round.
Heated seats now found so comfortable winter cafe cruising is going to be a reality! |

Latest progress report.
My new LSA engine arrived today and the trans arrives on Wednesday. I tried my best to try something left of field with sourcing a GM 10 speed auto but it just wasn't meant to be as I hit a couple hurdles way to big for my liking so I have settled for the HSV GTS 6 speed auto which should mate up nicely to the LSA. Only a matter of weeks now before the Alumina has a heart beat. Plenty of work still to go but the serious part is underway now.
Have a safe and fantastic Easter guys.
Cheers
Scott

Hi guys,
I know its been a long time between drinks for an update but progress is very slow at present. I need some advice and the LSA install in regard to the Pace headers. My mechanic that is doing the install is finding that the headers are sitting hard onto the foot well wall when the engine is bolted in. Is this normal??? I assume not. The engine mounting point is as standard and we are using the LSA mounts with an LSA and also the LSA Pace headers. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I haven't got any fun progress pictures as it's at a stale mate for now while we wait for the wiring loom and try and get these headers sorted.
Cheers
Scott

So my mechanic just tells me the passenger side exhaust will fit no worries but the drivers side is an issue. Thoughts???

Could you bolt it to a face plate in the vice, then heat all the pipes red hot and bend it down a bit until it fits.

Can you do that? It does sound like an easy solution but probably something I would get the exhaust guy to look in to. |

I have just had my Pace pipes modified so that they have adequate clearance when heat shields are fitted. On mine the drivers side is fine but the passenger side needed 2 pipes cut and rewelded to give good clearance.
Even though they are made on a jig there is some variation I guess.
Cheers,
Ben

No picture able as he took the headers off and reinstalled the engine so he could keep aligning the trans etc. We'll start looking into heating and bending and see how we go.
Thanks for the advice. Nice to know I'm not the only one having small issues.

I wouldn't start heating and bending I would get the face of the flange milled on a angle so the headers will sit closer to the block or further out depending on how you mill it
depending if you mill the top or the bottom off prob only need a mm or two I had to do this on a exhaust turbo manifold a while back
hope that makes sense it does in my head lol
cheers dean
