What are you looking at for horse power with the ls? What was your old one?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

The idler doesn't work or the pulleys. I used my factory water pump which has the same spacing as the truck pumps. The alternator will work also.

Here's the kit I used:

And the directions:

The 383 made 622 at the crank. I'm hoping for that or maybe a little more...;)

Thanks Rob, that works perfect. All the part #s for idlers and tensioners are what I was looking for. Thanks buddy.

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

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

Your Welcome!

Maybe this Saturday..

Thanks for the offer. I wish I had a stable enough schedule to plan stuff sooner instead of last minute.....

Making progress.....should wrap up the fuel system tonight, lots of work and $$$$ but it SHOULD be right....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

The engine bay looks terrific with that bad boy modern set up in there....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

So clean

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Unless I missed it, what size fuel line are you running?

I have an 10 AN feed line that splits in to 8 AN feed line that goes to both sides of the rails and then an 8 AN return line.

Thanks! Sweet! I'm thinking about getting an '14 Vette.....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Makes me jealous....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Nice work Rob!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

:lol:

Thanks!

Auxillary oil cooler and fuel system done!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Very nice progress Rob! Love the attention to details.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

your killing it rob , looking sweet !!!!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks guys! I got the inner cooler mounted last night. I just need to finish up the plumbing on it and that part will be done. I plan on painting it black so you won't be able to see it behind the grill.

My Speartech wiring harness should be here today. A big thanks to John! He has been great in helping me customize it for the supercharger and adapting this part that I ordered this last week from TwistMachine:

:metal::metal::metal::metal:

The paddles are built by a small family run company. I did a lot of research on this product and all I could find is a bunch of great reviews! Thanks Steve.

I also need to give a shoutout to Garrett at Magncharger! He has been very instrumental in answering questions and providing parts to help my get the TVS 1900 installed properly. He was gracious enough to give me his personal cell phone and has answered numerous texts at night and during the weekends, thanks again Garrett!

Progress is being made and I've been lucky to have a lot of good companys and car guys help me out on this venture. I definitely would not be as far I am, if it wer not for their help. Soooooo...I'm not sure I'm going to make my Crusing the Coast deadline, but it won't be from lack of effort....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I hope you can make CTC Rob. But there is always next year too. Truck looks so great!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I was looking at the same paddle shift setup... let me know what you think when you get it...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Spent the past few days reading this entire thread. Just started my search for a '67-68 swb and wanting to do something very similar. Unfortunately I doubt I will have the same budget but I love everything you have decided to do. Can't wait to see the results of the new combo.

As with quite anew others, I'm taking a lot of notes.

Here's a couple of pictures of the ShrifterSix paddle shifters, :metal:!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Are you having to use a shorter column for that to fit or does that unit take place of the column adapter?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

It replaces the column adapter.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

paddle shifter !!!! sweet !!!!!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

That is sick! Cant wait to see it installed.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Here's a picture of my steering wheel adapter. Just swap it out and my steering wheel bolts to the paddle wheel hub.

Thanks! It should be pretty sweet with the 6 speed auto.

Thanks!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

The paddle shifter looks great Rob, I can't wait to see a video of this truck tearing up the streets

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

That looks like a nice piece...
Are you putting it on a stock type column or do you have an after market?
I was wondering if the paddles might conflict with turn signal lever?
