And thank you for your offer for doing the beading! I don't have a bead roller and think I will be able to hook up with one of my metal shaping buddies. Will touch base if that doesn't work out. Looking forward to getting the powertrain fabb'ed in place. |

AD;
I like the looks of the panel in post411 from99 t0life; That seem to fit your interior the best. Just my 2cents worth. T-P Auto Tim :chevy: |

Made the left side 99R46 box today in about three hours.
Filled in the radius I cut out on the right side box. Didn't need the cut out and it bugged me, so I welded the piece back in. |

Spent a little time figuring out which end the transmission goes on :).
Then removed the harness, manifolds, ac compressor and installed the lift bridge to get ready for installation. This engine lift bridge (not sure what else to call it) came from Mac's tie downs. Decided to try one as all the others I have tend to want to get into the firewall. |

Now the fun begins? I've installed a 6.0 & 4L80e in one of my projects who's harness are you going to use?

Can't wait to see that LS between the Burbs rails! Also, that Macs engine thing-a-ma-whatever-ya-call-it looks pretty heavy duty!

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
sweet second run on the "99r46". can't wait to see that LS stripped down. I got one sitting waiting and I HATE, see all the factory stuff on it. can't wait to tear into it. I'm gonna feel like a stressed out newborn on sourcing and learning all the ins and outs of it. Just finding different brackets and intake and this and that, just seems like a lot but as easy as the ol small blocks can be, those are alot of nickel and dimming too. Just a new learning curve for most of us. Can't wait to see it come together.

Doug, never seen an engine lift like that one before, looks like it should do the job...Jim

Today I took the 99R46 boxes to a buddies shop so he can make the cover lids for them. He is a talented metal shaper, has a really nice shop, and wow...a 300 foot long building full of personal vehicles / projects, customers projects and many Chevy truck parts. His Dad is REALLY into 60 - 66 Chevy / GMC trucks.
Thought you might enjoy a look too. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Your friend IS THE MAN ... when you have a Pullmax in your home garage you are very serious about metal shaping. Is that also a Trumpf hammer that's being set up?
Anyone selling a property adjacent to his?? |

Yep, probably some property around there available. |
Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
That set up is exactly what I'm striving for. Though my stuff is all scattered, under multiple roofs if any and not one fully complete garage!!!! It takes alot of time and effort to gather the buildings, tools and knowledge to do this stuff. Getting a tow rig, trailer, space, all the spare parts and project cars......its all a time and money consuming thing. But as we tell our loved ones, atleast we aren't alcoholics or drug addicts! Just craiglist junkies, and parts addicts. Very nice stuff he's got goin on.
