    V1 fun game: help identify this part (LSJ EVAP purge valve line)

    Hey guys, when pulling the engine out of my 2007 Chevy Cobalt several months ago, I busted a line off of a plastic connector on the EVAP purge valve and I figured i'd get to finding that part later... well, later is here and I'm having a hard time naming/finding the exact piece i need, so here I...

    V1 frame delivery soon: Frame dimensions question.

    Hey all, My goblin frame is being delivered next week and I want to make sure that I have a truck big enough to set it in the bed. Can any of you provide a rough length/width of the frame? Also, if you know the bare weight, I'd love that info too.

    V1 F35 LSD Install

    I'm actually going to do exactly that. I contemplated dropping $4250 on Werks, but I just can't bring myself to invest that kind of money on a transmission that I can't very well work on in the future. I'll be doing an F35 to F23 swap. There's another forum discussion on this that covers the...

    V1 [GUIDE] F35 to F23 (with LSD) Transmission Swap

    DM me plz. Would you be interested in selling me a 3D printed counter gear bearing cap? I'm trying to source all the parts before I dive into this project and this one i'm not finding online.

    V1 [GUIDE] F35 to F23 (with LSD) Transmission Swap

    love to hear this! Before I get started searching after work, does anyone have any leads on purchasing an F23 with 4.17 FD? I see DF has some 0 milers with 3.84 FD for a reasonable price.

    V1 [GUIDE] F35 to F23 (with LSD) Transmission Swap

    I'll spare the details, but I'm expecting power in the 500 hp range once I get my engine reassembled and in my Goblin. Because of this, I can't really choose any other route than "go big or go home". Because of this, i'd be purchasing the Quaife and If I choose to go with the F23 I'll just slap...

    V1 [GUIDE] F35 to F23 (with LSD) Transmission Swap

    I have a Quaife LSD from an F35, is this something (hopeful thinking) that can be dropped into the F23? I think I probably already know the answer to this lmao

    V1 F35 LSD Install

    long story short, my local transmission shop decided not to actually work on my transmission. So that leaves me to do it. I tore into the transmission today and found, like with the rest of my donor car's components, that there was some damage internally that needed repairing. I'm really...

    V1 F35 LSD Install

    I am in the same position as OP, another win on the forums with your guys' help. Thanks! I'll probably contact my local transmission shop for a quote... if it's reasonable I may save myself some trouble and go that route. If not, I'll get out my impact guns lmao *edit* - my local transmission...

    V1 Cleaning baked carbon off the head

    My donor car had some small issues like some shattered piston rings and a few messed up cylinders... anyway, I'm cleaning up the head while I'm waiting on the block to be resleeved. I spent hours today with a steam cleaner and rag cleaning up the external surface of the head and then went to...

    V1 Connecting rods?

    Great suggestion. I'll go looking there. I'll pay a little extra for them if needed.

    V1 LSJ Valves: Ti vs Stainless

    sodium filled valves are way above what I'm willing to spend on valves haha. The only lighter-weight option I would entertain would be Ti. I guess i was under the wrong assumption that inconel was lighter than stainless. It's definitely tougher, though. Are there any negatives to the black...

    V1 Connecting rods?

    Yes.... but they don't. It seems popular for websites to have "in stock" show up until you go to their website and it says they are on backorder, or are shipped by the manufacturer. AKA, not in stock. :(

    V1 Connecting rods?

    Yes, that is the same knowledge that I have... lower compression is better for boosted engines, but some guys that have build 100% more cobalt engines than myself, and race them, have convinced me that I should go with the 10.5:1 pistons. I guess I can always change them if it's not what I...

    V1 LSJ Valves: Ti vs Stainless

    Currently rebuilding the engine of my donor, a 2007 LSJ. Also waiting on my kit (#457). I've got a ton of aftermarket parts I'm throwing in, including a ZZP turbo, stage 3 cams, 80# injectors, heavier valve springs with Ti caps, zero balance shafts, timing chain upgraded guides, 10.5:1...

    V1 Connecting rods?

    I have a 2007 LSJ that I am turbo-swapping, converting to E85, and dropping ZZP Stage 3 cams into. Also waiting on my kit to ship (#457). I had to re-sleeve the engine (waiting on that to be done currently) so I'm totally rebuilding. I'm installing 10.5:1 compression RaceTec pistons, headstuds...
