Re: Schni's Blue 1983 K10
Ill have to admit that i didnt install the vent window gasket. I handed it off due to the amound of times i scratched the paint while putting it in. Being that its winter, i dont have a proper space to paint. While trying to put in the gasket I became a tad impacient and cut the gasket about a quarter inch too short. Found out that it was short after i got it back from the shop. So theres another thing i need to redo.

On to the big block. Its a 289 4bolt out of a 90s chevy. Since buying it, I stripped it and sent it to the machine shop. It was cleaned and magged. Im still deciding on a build for it. need to be bored over and im planning on a 468 or 496. Either way im gonna be going with a hydrolic roller setup with carb off pump gas.

Re: Schni's Blue 1983 K10
had the crank cleaned and inspected. It needs a grind, so i have to decide should i waste my time and money on a cast crank. So i have to decide if i should just get a stroker kit. Also the machine shop keeps pushing al heads, not sure if its worth it. Opinions on what heads and what to do with crank?

before pics on welding in the ord steering box brace. also using there engine mounts and engine crossmemeber. Offroad design has been pretty good for most thing, kinda pricey on certain items. Make sure to check pricing. Attachment 1606469

Re: Schni's Blue 1983 K10
I am liking the dyno numbers. Maybe some day I can follow your recipe for my big block.

Re: Schni's Blue 1983 K10
gonna need accessories and bracket for sure on this big block swap. Anyone know what i need or recommend something they have used. not gonna run ac on the setup. Too my knowledge all i can use off my old sbc is the alternator, dont think the powersteering pump works. Any info helps
|
Re: Schni's Blue 1983 K10
if you're running the hydroboost, PS pump is part of the system.
|
Re: Schni's Blue 1983 K10
Very nice looking truck. You've done well cleaning in protecting / preserving the frame, bumpers, etcetera. And now with those axles and turbo 400, this thing is going to be stout! Those are some great dyno numbers. I have a 454 that was swapped in place of a 6.2 liter diesel by the previous owner. Let me know any brackets that you want me to take pictures of. It's hydroboost though, and non AC.
|
Re: Schni's Blue 1983 K10
i dont have any hydroboost setup, and im taking out the ac. Going to only keep my heat. If you have pictures of alternator thatd be awsome.

Re: Schni's Blue 1983 K10
gotta a ton of work done this weekend. Gotta thank my friend Neil for all the help. wire wheeled and wire brushed the frame. used kbs coating products. used the degreaser 50/50 mixed with hot water. scrubbed it on frame with scotchbrite pads, then rinsed and let dry. then used metal etcher with scotchbrite. Painted. Right now its 24hrs dry. Tried kbs instead of por15. Not a big fan. Won't be buying it again. Seems to hold up well, but the finish is awful. Can't tell from pics. No problems with por15 before, and I even prepped better with this stuff than i ever did with por. By the way this was the satin black can, as you can see it turns out glossy. Still have to finish scuffing and top coating. Then I'm onto fixing the firewall and heater core that i manhandled and broke the fitting off.

Re: Schni's Blue 1983 K10
Dammm thats one hell of a motor for that truck, I would be tempted to throw it in a muscle car haha. Should scoot pretty good with that.

Re: Schni's Blue 1983 K10
Yea, id like to build a nova. Maybe later I'll swap it over. A high revving 427 yenko clone would be pretty sweet though

headers came in. since no one could help much with header selection, I went with the set one guy was running currently. they are hooker 2455 / 2455-1 / 2455-1HKR . They dont look to be kinda artwork, the finish seems a bit "halfass". Nonetheless if they work fine for such a cheap price i dont care. They have 2" primaries and 3.5" collectors
