Very Nice looking! What kind of headers/exhaust manifold are you using?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

Thank you. I used Speed Engineering Shorties. Wish they had the V clamps when I ordered them. But still fit fine.

Thanks, Buffalo. I know about the Thorley's and they are a work of art but I'm not prepared to spend $700 on headers.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

Thanks, I did go through the build thread and enjoyed catching up with what you have done there.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

What you doing for power steering on your C10 L83

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

6.0L/4l80e
Doug Thorley 1 7/8 headers, 3" dual exhaust with x pipe
CPP engine & trans mount
Boyd's Tank
Entropy Radiator

Still wrapping things up, but for the little bit I have driven the truck, it is an absolute blast for a mostly stock drivetrain.

When you painted that cover did you have to use any flex additives like on plastic bumpers or does it hold up will sprayed regular?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

Used regular single stage paint but flex additives would prob work better

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

Work in progress... a very slow work in progress but I'm going to get there.

I've got a 1950 Chevy 5-window Short box with a mustang II front end. I finally have my engine in but I'll need to take it out one more time to clearance the frame for exhaust.

Its got a 5.3L engine rebuilt by me, f body oil pan (truck pan didn't have the ground clearance I needed), LS6 intake, 2008 corvette waterpump (no bell pulley for clearance), C5 corvette coils, fuel rail covers, power steering pump, Holley accessory drive bracket, and Hooker exhaust manifolds. I have a painted LS6 intake to use and some custom fuel rail covers for the final thing but those will be finished and put on later.

could you possibly take some pics of how you ran your lines on the hydroboost setup.

what setup do you have on the hydroboost?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

Not sure what you're asking. I bought the hydroboost unit from O'Reilly. I think it was a refurbed Astro van unit from early 90's. It is mounted upside down so the lines go to the bottom.

I bought those from another board member - Captainfab. He does great work. I bought the power booster bracket and hydroboost mounting plate.
