Thanks David!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

pictures? updates? come on man!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

we have mounted the radiator, and hoses. I made some brackets out of aluminum to hold the shroud to the mounts. we are still waiting on our aluminum gauge faceplate so i can finish the gauge install. I'll get some pics up shortly. i am contemplating going with another edelbrock 1721 fuel pump as the engine was running good until pump failure. I installed the new oem fuel pump Shannon sent us and it will run if i keep feathering the gas. I think it liked the high flow of the edelbrock fuel pump.

keep at it...

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Look's real nice , how much did that cluster run u and where did u pick it up from ...

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

The cluster was around 700.00 several month ago, we purchased it from cpp. Get with jeff @ cpp.
Thanks for checking out the build.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

We are doing our best to keep up with outrageously fast progress Jonathan! :lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

a few update shots.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Man, that engine is looking great! you polished the serp. bracket? looks great!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

oh....ahhhh....now that's looking good!!!...Your firewall looks white?!?!?

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

nice!!!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks Mike, I just cleaned it up, primed it and painted it silver....

trying to catch up to you Geoff, the firewall is silver, the body color, think the sun washed the pic alittle. I need to look back at your build thread and see what you are using for wire looms. we have a small leak on the vc's in the bottom corners, and we are using the good gaskets you recommended. I dont think i am getting them tight enough since i am using some cheap plastic spacers to space the looms off the manifolds. Thanks for the kudos.....

Thanks Jonathan

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

It's looking good Heath. I might end up getting rid of mine.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

I bought the wire looms with the spark plug wires from a guy on CL....so not sure on the makers.....now that I think about it, I believe I still have a leak on the passenger rear of the valve cover too....ummmm

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Nick,

what the heck you talking about? dang, soo close, yet soo far away....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

ill take a look back through your build thread. I think our issue is that it was missing the spacers.....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

sweet" :metal:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Extremely close. I have everything to finish it. Only thing missing is time...

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks !

I hear ya Nick, but your soo close. What are you lacking?

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Brake lines need to be installed. Rear end needs the spacer kit installed. Front bumper needs to be put on. HAHA. Sooooo close....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Dang bro, wish u were not soo far away, I would help you finish it up

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks... Same to you, if i had the time.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

heath the engine is looking killer!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Heath....I bought the ground strap kit from Wes....there were 5 straps....here are the 5 spots I tied these grounds to....
1. bed to frame
2. cab to frame
3. passenger inner fender to frame
4. tranny to firewall
5....I cannot remember where I put the dang thing:D....sorry!!!!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks John

Thanks, we are going to make our own ground straps, I was curious how you mounted the straps to the firewall without damaging the paint (since they need to make contact with the metal). I bought some star washers, and we will be mounting them this weekend. we will most likely ground to the bottom area of the cab support. Thanks

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Heath....I basically used painters blue tape in the area we drilled the hole through the inner fender...seen it done several times....actually just looked again....i went from the tranny bolt to the throttle petal bolt that goes thru the firewall.....(still have the 68 throttle pedal and throttle rod no a throttle cable)

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thans Geoff, we have been using the heck out of the blue painters tapes....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

drivers side inner fender installed.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Engine bay looks slick! Great job!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

very nice

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks Jonathan!



Thanks Bro!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Looking good Heath.

BTW, what top radiator hose did you end up using?

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Nice and shiny. Looks, great!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks Shannon, i used PART # XL-1171 from autozone, it was in your post.... :metal:

Thanks... trying to stay a few steps ahead of you.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Good deal. I knew the part number, but I haven't seen the actual part yet. Does it "work" with your engine bay theme? Or does it stick out like a sore thumb? By that I mean it's not the first thing you see when you raise the hood is it?

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

hmmm... well you can tell its there , as it has to go above the alternator... I have heard ppl using the stock v8 hose, and that working good with the serp setup but i went this route. I may check into the stock setup, since your saying its a eyesore! :lol: :lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Come on now, I didn't say it was an eyesore.:lol::lol: Just wondering how well it fit in with the clean appearance of your engine.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

I'll take a another gander and see :lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Heath.........that engine bay looks killer!!!! The smoothed firewall is absolutely the way to go....so why didn't you tell me to do it?!?!?!?!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Looks outstanding Heath!!
