Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

WOW! Are you going to call Mr. Richard Rountree? :lol:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Tomorrow!!!

Let me know if you decide to get a couple guys together for a quick build weekend. My wife is a flight attendant, so I fly free and I wouldn't mind getting the hell out of dodge for a few days!

Well, it is a horse farm...;)


??? That went right over my head....

If you are serious, I'll plan the weekend with that in mind....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I'm in and STOKED to knock this LSx install out!! :metal:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I'm serious. Feb. is pretty full right now.

Any weekend in March, except the 1st one, looks good to me.

How far are you from Panama City?

Re: 68 S/C update.....

Wish I could come help!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

man that powerplant is sick and i love the custom painted plastic cover :D

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

:lol:, I'm still gathering parts....:D

I'm still gathering parts, so FEB is out. I need to check with the wife and see when my son's spring break is. I'll see how much I get done this month and then let you know. Panama City is about 1.5 -2.0 hrs depending on traffic.

Rogert that, I'll keep that in mind when I come up with the date.

Come on down!!!

Thanks, :lol:. Well I guess there's no turning back now....it felt kinda weird disassembling a virtually brand new motor...:devil:. The inside is clean enough to eat off of :lol:. Pics!!!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Dude! Jealous is an understatement!!! I really do wish I could come down.. Maybe one day!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

That is sweet looking!

No rush on my end. I can get away in April and May too!

The only problem with this deal is you are going to be an accomplice when I have to have a s/c. You have to explain why to my wife!

Hi Rod,
How much weight do you figure you'll be saving with this swap? Also, got any ideas on HP and torque estimates?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks Rus.

Thanks Bomp.

I'm guessing around 100 lbs savings. I would like to end up with around 500-550 to the wheels.....at least that's the goal, :D.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You cannot do carnage without the wrecking crew. You were supposed to save us something to do! We can't fix that.:lol:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Hey Rob!!
Fantastic Build and engine!!! I had no idea you had changed directions with the motor until I started doing research for my 6.2 swap. Quick couple of questions for you if you don't mind.
1. What engine stands did you use? I'm going to use the dirty dingo mounts but I'm a little confused about if I can use the Big Block engine stands in my '72 Burb, or if I need to change over to the 73+ stands.
2. Will the factory ac compressor mount with the Dirty Dingo engine mounts? I found out from a reputable shop that the 6.2 AC compressor will work just fine with my Vintage Air Setup (yeah, that means I don't have to buy another compressor for the serpentine system and I hopefully won't have to buy other brackets, depending on what you say).

THanks for your help!! Looks great!!!
Shawn

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks!

There's plenty more to do...;).

1. I'll probably use CPP stands. You could use the 73 and up DD mounts
2. Just depends on the compressor and where you align your motor fore and aft. As far as using the factory compressor, as long as it's not a variable speed one, you will probably be OK. However most of the LS compressors won't work, at least that's what i've been told. Every setup is a little different, so there will be some trial and error no matter how much research you do.

That's pretty sweet! Not sure how it would work with a supercharger....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Time for some more carnage this weekend......

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Every great journey requires a first step.....
