Re: 2nd Hand Chevy parts dealers - Oz or US

Go a ZZ383 if going straight LPG. Big block torque in a small block. Check out the torque curves of it and several big blocks on the GM performance website. Don't buy through Eagle, import your own.

Re: GQ electric window motor

Whole new electric regulator from Nissan is about that. Still made and most dealers would have one in stock. There used to be a few part numbers for them but all supercede to one part number per door now.

Re: 4L60-E manualising

Do you already have a 4L60? If not, get an early T700. Same thing but no electronics. Makes easier conversion and easier to manualise. And cheaper too of course.

If the GenIII throttle body is a practical upgrade, is it possible to bootyfab an adaptor and if so, why isn't someone?

Or is there a bolt on one from the Arab's? Even though they don't use the OE manifold.

Yes mate. Sorry. Thought you were playing along. Don't think an inverter exists that is big enough for any compressor.

That compressor has a 3.0hp motor. So you might get away with a smaller inverter. Maybe just solar panels.
