Re: 1970 C10 project
 

I made some more progress and have the engine sitting in the truck. Since I'm using the Holley LS frame mounts, they work with the Gen V engines by changing the clamshells that mount on the engine. I swapped out the oil pan with a Holley knock-off pan. All of the accessories from the Camaro fit, but I swapped out the Camaro's alternator with one from an LS truck since the plugs are on the back and not on the side.

I made some more progress, installed speed engineering headers.
Passenger side fit great, Driver side didnt really fit at all. I had to cut my engine mount bracket and dent the headers in several spots.

I also went to a pick and pull and pulled two different Volvo electric power steering pumps. One with a built in reservoir and one without. The only place i think i can put it is near the core support.

Made some more progress on the truck. I've decided to try and convert the harness to stand alone myself to save some money. So far I think that it'll work out. I have that done and all I have left is to wire up the fuel pressure control module so that I can use rhe Camaro's fuel pump.

I'm also re-wiring the truck from front to back and I'm finally at the point where I have lights. I bought a set of Dakota Digital Rtx gauges wirh their bim module. This was pricey bur worth it to save on wiring.

@lawreng do you think converting a 71/72 chevelle over to a 70 front clip and rear bumper will hurt the value in the long run if one decided to sell it? I have a bad fender on my 71 chevelle and really just want to throw a 70 front clip on it, but I know down the road I will sell the car and move onto a new project.

No, I don't think it'll hurt the value at all. I think it would be easier to sell. That's what I did with my Chevelle; it's actually a '71. I'm also doing the same with my truck by putting a '68 front clip on it. As long as it's not a numbers-matching SS, most people prefer the look of the '70.

I made alot of progress in the last month. I finished the brake lines,
transmission cooler lines, and the fuel lines. The truck runs and drives now. I need to make a shroud for the Camaro 19 inch fan that doesnt take up too much room and to fabricate a cold air intake tube.
