Undoing the Cleetus burnout crash... Beretta #LSswap nose job
After smashing the concrete wall at Burnout Rivals, I had to source some parts and fix the nose of the car. Could have been worse, I did get it taken care of pretty cheap. Road tripped to PA to get some free parts from my buddy, and the heat gun worked a miracle on the original bumper cover. Broken brakes just needed a new rear master cylinder.I also tested a spark retard rev limiter in hopes it would shoot some flames, but that didn't work out. The "soft" limiter sounds a little better but didn't produce any fire. I thought later combustion would put some flame in the pipe. Just glad to have it back on the streets again!gearheaddezign.com/ www.youtube.com/@GEARHEADdezign gea...

Quick Removable doors with hitch pins for Blazer Z69
Просмотров 146Месяц назад
I converted my street Blazer to removeable doors. I did the same with my offroad Blazer years ago and it's great. I drove that one on the street a little and I missed it. You just gotta drill out the hinges and use hitch pins and reducer bushings for 3/8.If you have power windows, you're going to want to convert to crank windows. You can get the manual regulators online.Jeep mirrors amzn.to/3SH...
Smashed the Beretta T56 #LSswap at Cleetus Burnout Stafford
Просмотров 480Месяц назад
This one hurts. I put it in the concrete wall at Cleetus McFarland Burnout Rivals at Stafford Motor Speedway. Probably the hardest part to find for a Beretta is the Z26 front bumper and now it's screwed. And I broke the brake pedal too, so I've got a bunch of work ahead of me to fix it. But I will rebuild. The kiddo is unimpressed with my driving...I need to make time for some practice if I kee...
Ready for Cleetus Burnout Rivals with Beretta #LSswap

How about I don't wreck it this time at the burnout contest! Got the car ready for Stafford Motor Speedway in CT. This will be the first time participating in a Cleetus event. We flew to FF for their first event but this one is only a 4hr drive so it's family friendly. Gotta redeem myself for the kiddo..."dad don't drive with your eyes closed" haha gearheaddezign.com/ www.youtube.com/@GEARHEADd...
Wrecked my Beretta #LSswap at GM Carlisle burnout contest 2024
Просмотров 7292 месяца назад
Yeah, so that could have gone better. I drove the Beretta T56 the 4 hours down to Carlisle, PA for the GM Nationals with the family. Met up with friends on the way and we shared an Amish Airbnb. The heat wave was pretty brutal for us northern folk...NWS had us smack dab in the middle of a heat advisory. I skipped the autoX this year but I did participate in the exhaust contest and the rolling b...
Beautification of the Beretta T56 #LSswap - Ready for Carlisle GM
Просмотров 9472 месяца назад
Knocked a few things off the to-do list that I've been slacking on. I designed a T56 logo a couple years ago that looks just the the Z26 and Z28 logos of that generation. Finally cut some and replaced the Z26 decals. I also measured and cut BERETTA letter decals for the rear filler that turned out really nice. I've painted them with a brush before and they always come out looking amateur. This ...
Zero-wiring 2step rev limiter with factory PCM in HPTuners/TunerPro - Beretta #LSswap
Просмотров 4013 месяца назад
I figured out a way to set up a 2-step rev limiter, controlled by the stock PCM with no wiring needed. It reacts super quick and it should work great for drag racing. I originally tried wiring in a clutch switch to pin 32 of the PCM to trigger the P/N tables, but that didn't work at all. So I changed my strategy and repurposed the "closed throttle base spark" table. That's actually a better sol...
Fixed and broke Gambler 500 Blazer Z69 #junk
Просмотров 2893 месяца назад
My rusty junk Blazer has been sitting around dead since August, and I finally got around to fixing it. It ran on brake fluid so I was pretty sure it just needed a fuel pump. So we dragged the POS in the garage and threw a Walbro 255HP in it that I had laying around. It still runs horrible but it'll work for what I have in store. Change of plans on the Solid Axle Swap project...that'll be my oth...
Re-engineering suspension and steering. Handles SO GOOD now. Beretta #LSswap
Просмотров 6913 месяца назад
My original redneck engineering when building this car was mostly pretty good, but I'm making a few improvements. It's good practice in problem solving... I upgraded to poly bushings at the rear control arms, torque arm and front sway bar links, and added braces to the engine mounts. Empire Metal Works lasered the brackets. I also bought offset heims from Kryptonite for my steering and cut & re...
Had to fix my new Moser axles, they vibrated! Beretta #LSswap
Просмотров 3584 месяца назад
I bought some custom Moser axles to fit my Explorer 8.8 but use the Beretta wheel hub and 5x100 bolt pattern. They machined them incorrectly and basically told me to piss off when I wanted them to correct the problem. The Explorer brake pilot was too small in diameter to center the rotor, and the Beretta wheel pilot was too short with a huge radius to engage the wheel. I had a feeling it would ...
Finishing upgrades to daily drive Beretta #LSswap all spring/summer!
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Daily driving the car for a month or so last year made some needs for winter upgrades clear. And drag racing launches required new adjustable shocks so I picked up some Vikings. One of my brake master cylinders was leaking and I needed to adjust the bias bar, so I took out the dash and wired up a 2-step and elec defroster while I was in there. I fixed the friggin POS custom axles from Moser Eng...
Back from the dead! 6.1 Hemi 6spd Challenger for Papa Woody
Просмотров 2375 месяцев назад
Un-deaded this 2009 SRT-8 with a bunch of parts in boxes and another 6.1 Hemi. Put in a fresh clutch and a Barton shifter and now it's smoking tires again on the cheap. Still a few loose ends to tie up but Papa Woody is stoked. This should be fun! F Cancer. gearheaddezign.com/ www.youtube.com/@GEARHEADdezign gearheaddezign www.tiktok.com/@gearheaddezign
DIY beadlock wheels with NO WELDING. Drill & tap with studs or bolts.
Просмотров 4425 месяцев назад
Testing out a genius/stupid idea for converting a regular OEM wheel to beadlock without any welding. Using lasered jig and rings and spacers from Empire Metal Works empiremetalworks.com/ I was able to successfully assemble everything together. My buddy's F350 Super Duty is still in the shop, so I haven't been able to drive on it yet...but the initial results look good. Then there's just 32 x 5 ...
