Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

looks like fun! :metal:

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

I figured you should just throw those turbo's on, then once the block swells up the bolt should slide right in!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

one day i will have a zo6. absolutely love those things. and then ill take my truck out and run circles around it. because every body knows its cooler in a truck

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Truck is looking great man, the new stance was worth all the headaches I bet. And I think we need some more pics of the Corvette, or you could just let me borrow it. That might be easier so you don't have to go through the trouble of uploading pics:mm:

All caught up on your Stepper. Just a little rake, looks great. Looking forward to your finish, awesome truck. Thanks for working out the component geometry for us step truckers, very trying I bet but oh so worth the headache to be one of the first on the road.

i did a few mods , new leather seats with suade inserts , staggered wheels , eibach lowering springs and a few other small things , here it's my boy and his ss

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Awesome. So glad he ain't behind the wheel of an import. Looks like a great car. He should be pretty damn proud of that. You should be proud of em both!

Great present.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Thanks ,chevy all the way , I know it's a lot of car for a teen but I trust him 100% and he kept his side of the deal and kept Straight a's in school !!! Very proud !!!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

so a couple of days ago i got the correct mounting brackets for the engine from scott's , i finally got around to it today , half an hour or so and a little bid of muscleing and i got it in , the holley oil pan cleared perfect over the rack and pinion and it also sits an inch or two higher than then the front member , the intake also clears perfect , i'm glad to be able to move on to the next chapter , some pix

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

We're they all out of the tall intakes? ...... Lol
Looks good man.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

What accessory drive are you going to use?

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

nice and tall along with the turbos


im using a factory gm set up , may run into some issues so stay tune for updates to make sure i can make it work !!!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Hope it works well, I think the Holley accessory drive looks nice too.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

thanks , i hope so too , i really like the compact factory look of it !!!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Very cool! I think the intake system will really fill the engine bay well. Looking forward to seeing this engine roar!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

thanks guys !!!!

small updates , got valve covers and galley cover painted and installed , also started the pulley system , i need to drill and tap for one of the alternator bracket , i had to buy a new ls1 waterpump as the truck one sticks out an inch or so ferder and it wont work with this kit , the compressor idler pulley has interfearence with rack and pinion and the compressor wont work at this time as it wont clear do to the engine brackets, i have a couple of ideas on how to make it work ill keep posting as i go,i love the way this kit sits almost flush with the motor and how low everithing is , like i said before ill make it work , :lol::lol:

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

some more pix !!!!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

That does all sit nice and low--looks good! How's the alternator fit? Are you using knock sensors in the valley? I think with that intake it would look cleaner to mount them on the block.

thansk , im very proud of him , great kid !!!



thanks !!!!

now working on some ideas on new brackets for engine , but justin just brought up a good point and told me how these ls1 compressors wont work with the aftermaket ac kits so im making a call to do some reaserch , headache after headache , lol

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

"headache after headache" you live for that!!!!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

cant wait to see the turbos mounted up...wats the eta on that..

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

you know it !!!

thanks !!! TT's are next right after i get the engine brackets and ac compressor issues taken care of

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Sweet. Looking good.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Raull,

Truck is looking great man and I really like the look of the edelbrock intake. I had a feeling you might have problems with the A/C compressor. At least it is on its own belt so, theoretically, you can place it almost anywhere in that general area and build brackets if needed.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Don't know if this will help but it will get the comp up out of the frame.
