Future of the Monte Carlo: LSA Build Overview / What am I Going to Do With It? (Plus Some Backstory)
What happens here
The Monte Carlo currently runs an LSA supercharged 6.2L engine, salvaged from an Escalade. It uses an Alsen Custom Works six-rib drive setup and has a 2.45 upper pulley with a stock truck lower pulley. The car features speed engineering LS swap headers. The fuel system includes a Tanks Inc. EFI sump tank, though an RTV sealant issue previously clogged the pump sock, causing fuel delivery problems. The car's frame had UMI Performance LS swap motor mounts requiring some drilling. The cooling system consists of a Griffin radiator and a True Cool 40K transmission cooler, transferred from a friend's Silverado. The owner mentions that the transmission cooler has survived several transmission failures in his Escalade.
Goal: Detail the current engine, transmission, fuel, and cooling system components and their origins.
