If you like Chevys or clutch pedals (or both if you're smart) you'll like what I've got going on here. Racing and offroading action, as well as some project updates, how-tos and long-term builds. My Camaro, Silverados, Berettas, Blazer...even my neighbor and bro-in-law's Chevys. I'll also have a little bit of recreation and travel stuff with my smokin hot wife and the dogs...shark diving, snorkeling, kayaking, jetski...
Smashed the Beretta T56 #LSswap at Cleetus Burnout Stafford
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 keep doing these.

Ready for Cleetus Burnout Rivals with Beretta #LSswap
Переглядів 1,6 тис.14 днів тому
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
Переглядів 698Місяць тому
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
Переглядів 941Місяць тому
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
Переглядів 322Місяць тому
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
Переглядів 2732 місяці тому
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
Переглядів 6702 місяці тому
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
Переглядів 3513 місяці тому
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!
Переглядів 1,4 тис.3 місяці тому
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

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.
Переглядів 3064 місяці тому
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 ...

New aluminum engine upgrade for the Beretta T56 #LSswap
Переглядів 1,3 тис.5 місяців тому
Back in Sept I snagged another LS for the Beretta. This one with more displacement, more compression, better heads, more power and less weight! It's a 2007 L33 so it's still 24x and I can run it on the P01 truck pcm with Camaro tune. I was a little disappointed in the LR4 so I wanted something better. Once I got the spark problem fixed with the 4.8 it felt a ton better, so this L33 should be re...
