Thanks for watching! Yeah keep an eye out for the products as they are released. Bound to make things much easier for your swap and much higher quality than currently available.
Love the plans. Another cheap add on. Loose all the dirty air and oil that is vacuumed sucked into the intake. On your motor, It builds up on your vavles and adds carbon to your whole combustion chamber, fowls plugs and so on. It's something I wish the manufactures would do with all these new direct injection engines. Add a PCV valve on each valve cover. Then add a non-vented to atmosphere, dual oil catch cans. Barb fittings or AN at the drain hole on them. Run the hoses to a 'Y' fitting. Then have the hose come out to a 1/4 turn ball valve. Run the lines , so the ball valve is near the oil filter. Then it can be drained with each oil change. Another cheap add-on, is to purchase a mount & bypass filter from Amsoil. Purchase the filter that holds 1- 1/2 quarts and mount it in a place where it can be changed every 25000 Miles. The Amsoil bypass filter system was designed for diesels in mind. It works the same way as the old school Franz oil filters. It will filter the oil down to 2 Microns, and drizzles the oil back, through the oil cap or a custom hole in the valve cover. You'll be adding additinal qts to the whole system, which is a plus too. All the oil will be micro filtered a full cycle every 50 to 100 miles. Much better filtration compared to 30 microns from a high performance oil filter. It will only reduce the PSI 1 to 2 lb. Not even enough to notice. You can tee it off, near the oil pressure sending unit. Both of these items will make this car run super clean and the bearings & interior engine componets will love you. It will definitely extend the life of the motor and also the frequency of oil changes, should you decide to go longer. . I wish you guys at Sikky would talk about this more often on your videos and please start adding these to all of your projects.
Irish spring allegedly keeps mice away. I've heard that you slice up Irish spring and stuff it into a sofa if you're ever putting it into storage. My guess is that the nova had a rodent visitor at one time.
Yes, kits are done! New video on this series coming very soon and kits can be purchased on the website here www.sikky.com/product/sikky-stage-2-gm-x-body-lsx-swap-kit-w-headers/

Thanks for the tip! Yeah this type of system typically goes on a forced induction build here. Proven to help on any engine though.
Really Enjoyed Seeing the FD RX-7 in the back ground.
Lol why you looking to add another to your stable?
@@SikkyTV Believe Me James - I would really like to - But at this stage - It'd be just too many RX-7s to maintain.
Awesome 👏🏻 I was looking for shop to build my dream car 1976 impala! Keep those videos coming!!
Thanks! Will do! Get in touch with us about starting your build. Email sales@sikky.com

Awesome! did not know that. Sure smells way better than the old moth ball method lol
Get a Hot Rods to Hell truck arm suspension, they're affordable.
Did you have to cut the transmission tunnel to get the 6l80e to fit?
no, it's got room
Any updates on the kits ?
Yes, kits are done! New video on this series coming very soon and kits can be purchased on the website here
