LSX454 swapped 95 BASS burb.

Little lower, little cooler, bigger sounds.
I had one of these breakers at both ends of my alternator line for the sub alt.

And the one next to the sub box kept tripping under heavy bass.
So I changed it to a fuse, to see what happens.

I'm fairly certain it was the vibration tripping it. As the front one never has :dunno:

And..... Fock it, paint was cured enough lol.IMG_20260731_021217197_MP.jpg
 
Those emblems are a fairly thick aluminum. Stamped so the center is raised giving the numbers a definition.
And they're more like an anodized red than paint.
 
I definitely have to change the mufflers.

I loved the single 3" thrush welded I had on my old 'burnt burb'.
But they don't work for this setup. :dunno:

I'm going to try the dynomax super turbos it had, with these 'out the tail' pipes and see how that goes.
If I don't like it still, I'll probably swap in the FM delta flow 50's from the blue truck.

I want to find the sound I like before I get crazy tuning, as it could actually change some.

Stop and go is FAR better.
Still have to work on it a bit with transitions. But I'm going in the right direction :waytogo:

Also.
Need to get a gas type filler neck
This one ALWAYS bleeds fuel.
Always has since I went to gas... :dunno: can't remember if it did it before that.
New cap didn't help.

Vent maybe?

I figure the little wall and flap will help.

Wound it hurt anything to vent under the truck.
Isn't that how older stuff pre smog did it?

My tank has a vent in each front corner that would normally hook to the evap system.
Which I no longer have.
I ran them to a T and a single 1/4" line that runs about 3' up the frame rail and caps off because I didn't know what to do with it.

My original plan that I've never done was to basically build my own evap system, by running it to an actual LS evap solenoid mounted in my air box under the hood, that just opens when it's running.
My air box is essentially just a bent plate with PLENTY of gap around it, so it's not going to vacuum my tank in.
But is that even necessary?
Or worth it?
I just don't want a bunch of gas vapor pooling up under it or in it that's going to blow me up when I start it or something lol.
 
Was thinking I could set up an output on the holley to run the evap only when it's actually running, not just in a key on state.
Or even only when the kpa is higher than 75 or something.
 
Tanks were vented to atmosphere through the fill cap, which obviously was at the high point of the tank.
 
I have a Diy4x vent coming off the tank zip tied to the bed support in front of the rear tire and my gas cap is vented as well. It was a quick fix that just remained after I dumped fuel in Moab.

Only fumes I get is if I rev the truck in the garage lol.

Wait, did you say you capped the vents?
If nothing else at least put a small fuel filter on the end to keep the venting functioning but prevent anything from crawling in
 
Drivers rear door finally has its pod.and apparently the 6 hrs I gave the paint to dry wasn't enough :doah:

They're rough, and I didn't fill all the divots. Because it's a proof of concept thing.
If they work and sound good, I'll keep em and probably wrap em in vinyl.
If not, I'll go back to the drawing board.

Guess ven the stuff needed to be done to mount it, I was waiting for the door to be swapped. Which is why it took like 2-3 years lol.
