Good progress and yes, all the little stuff parts runs really take time. The Camaro manifolds do fit nicely.

Well I had a hard time deciding what to do with the tank. The ECE tank looks great but it was 8 weeks away and $1800 Canadian. I checked my life insurance policy and decided to modify the original tank to accept the 2003 fuel pump module. I ended up using the stock float and gauge sender. Not pretty but it works. I planned on using the module from the parts truck but decided on a new delco unit.
I also blasted the manifolds and painted them with VHT flame.proof paint. I have had very good results with it. |

Here is a shot of the cts-v oil pan and painted manifolds. I amnusing the dirty dingo mounts. Which raise the engine 1/2" or so

Looks beautiful inside and out Mario! Loved the sound of it when you took off today. Hopefully someday mine will be half as nice as yours.

Thanks. I really need to update the build. I have all the pitcures but its such a pain to upload them from my cell. The LS swap was completed in july amd we had a great time hauling the camper to PA for the truck nationals. Tranny tempature was a concern briefly hitting 230 climbing the mountuans leveled out to 190 during the day and droped to 160 at night.. I think my clutch fan is not working. I plan on installing a tranny cooler with fan setup. I have a massive oil cooler for the transmission currently but I dpnt want to chance the clutch fan not fixing the transmission temperature issue |

Re: Bagged 1968 Suburban
Been a little while. Suburban got some ugrades last year switch shocks to Ride tech HQ Fox shocks. Amazing the diffirence a quality shock makes even compared to the KYBs I had on it.
Just got the new RTX gauges with a custom 0 160 km layout done. MCB parts worked with me.to get a layout that matched the original look. I also got 5 air pressure senders so I can watch the air pressure. Even though I have accuair we drive alot of rough uneven surfaces. Some times the burb suspension chatters funny. I need to see whats up with the pressure. I think one bag is really low and the other lifts the truck causing a crossload spring rate. |
