Great progress!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
You might as well drop the truck off with Todd and have him repaint it while its down........ You know your going to do it. Might as well. Patina is cool for a cruiser or weekend warrior but you know what your building.......

Re: 68 S/C update.....
How many engines have you built? I want to swap to an LS series engine, but don't feel like I'll ever be able to afford a pre-built engine. How hard would you say it is to build an LS? I'm a little more worried about selecting the right parts than assembling it, but overall I'm a bit intimidated.
By the way, I like what you've done so far. |

I wouldn't call this building a motor since I didn't change the crank and pistons, but it's about as close as you can get without doing that part, :D. |
Re: 68 S/C update.....
Cool! Thanks for the videos. Maybe I'll be able to source a short block, or even a long block and go from their. I'll do some more research. Thanks for the help.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Very nice work on the engine.

Rob, can I come shake your money tree? I just need a few leaves! Maybe take a cutting and try and grow my own!! Great job buddy! I still kick myself for missing Donkey by a week. That was my dream truck and I just missed it.

How much room do you have between the high hump and your 6L80? Can you snap a few pictures? Thanks, Rob |
Re: 68 S/C update.....
I can snap a few later today and get them to you. There is plenty of room though. Do you know off the top of your head what the hose on top of the tranny goes to? I thought it was just a vent, but it has a "T" fitting on it, like it had a hose going somewhere.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
I'm pretty sure it's just a vent.

Pictures as requested. Sorry for the poor quality, camera phone and its hard to get in there really close. You can see the vent thing I'm talking about. I would say there is about 2" of space, maybe even a little more. However I still have to make sure I'm leveled out at the right driveline angle. I used the spacers that were on the th400 mount, but the engine still seams to dip down, and the tranny pan doesn't appear to be level. I need to get out my angle measurer and check the angle.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Very nice build, sat down and read through it all today. What kind of fuel mileage do you think you'll be getting with the 6.2 combo?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Dammit,
You are gonna screw up my plans for a Florida visit. :lol: Quit getting so much done. John |

Re: 68 S/C update.....
And here is the why I want to put an L99+6L80 in my Chevrolet Veraneio. First because the L99 is the only V-8 engine avaiable around here, and since playboys are starting to destroy Camaros SS maybe I could find one. But the main reason is that even stock I will get 3 times the power, and something something lower than 2 times the torque that I have with my L6 261 (first gen stovebolt). And everyting with higher kilometrages (milleages) per liter (galon). But in my case I want the AFM, VVT, etc...

Well I had to pull the oil pan in order remove the oil pump in order to install the LS2 timing chain dampner in order to change the cam in order to delete the VVT.....seems like this project just continues to snowball down hil....LOL. Oh well, got that done now, I think....finally....I can start putting it back together for good, :).

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Man oh man that's certainly out of my knowledgable reach for those kinda of swaps. Kudos to you on tackling this endeavor of a motor I'm sure shell be perfect for ya when wrapped up.

*** Well it's starting to look like a motor again (PICS!). My buddy Joe and I installed the oil pan, front timing cover and the bolted the heads back on. I still need to recheck the torque on the head bolts and then I'll put in the new pushrods and the rocker arms. When I'm done with the that, I think I going to do a test fit of the engine/tranny. I'm tempted to try it without installing the high hump, but I'm 95% sure it won't fit..... |

Ernie came over yesterday and between the 2 of us (Ernie did most of the work, :lol:), we got the high hump installed. After finishing that up, we put the motor in for a test fit. Well almost, the 2013 Camaro pan isn't going to work, :(. I thought it would be close, but we confirmed it wouldn't. Two steps forward and one back...:waah:. I ordered a 2007 Cadillac CTSV pan last night and it should be here early next week. It's the same one I have on the suburban and should fix the problem. I also think I have the accessory brackets figured out. I ordered a set of the Holley LS brackets. Hopefully they will work for my truck and Jakes 68....fingers crossed! Picture time! |
Re: 68 S/C update.....
It's not often that someone asks you to cut a hole in a pristine '68 C10 floor... you just have to say yes when it happens! :lol:
