The dash was from Dakota Digital and I think they said it was for a 40 ford

Everything is brand new Willwood at the wheels double 7" booster 1" master cylinder
Solid peddle no air in system, even with HOT pads I am not able to slide the tires

Update on the brakes
Changed the front and rear pads to another Wellwood number, don't remember which one, it does "Stop" a little better when it gets some heat in them,
Next we changed out the booster to a double 7" ,and at least we can feel them stopping!
I guess the next step will be to change the master cylinder to a 15/16"

Looks awesome solid. Especially from where you started. Get the brake issue figured out? I have a Wilwood master and booster combo coming and called them for advice for flex lines for my C4 calipers. I found the person I talked to not very knowledgeable. Nice chap but had no idea on fittings etc. Called Ecklers and they were worse. Corvette specialists. Never would have figured I would have such a hard time figuring out what SS flex lines to order. I feel your pain.

Where did you get the master cylinder kit and trans cross member? Beautiful Truck!

solidaxel 05-28-2016 09:45 PM

Re: Arizona Steel 46
 
The master cylinder bracket came from Scotts and the Model A crossmember came from Speedway

WOW, I know I am late to this thread but what a beauty! The stance is perfect. So many questions but did you fill out one of Hart_Rods LSx Swappers What Ya Got information sheet?
Thanks for sharing.

solidaxel 09-22-2017 12:10 PM

Re: Arizona Steel 46
 
Thanks for looking Kermitt
No I did not fill out a sheet, but not so much time has passed that I can still remember a few of the problems,
The truck now has 6500 miles and runs strong and the air blows cold!

I am loving the engine air intake over the rad. Was that all custom work or were you able to recycle some parts? Also, did the truck oil pan work or did you have to change it?
Thanks

solidaxel 09-22-2017 06:20 PM

Re: Arizona Steel 46
 
The intake and cold air was a great idea but we are using a MAF instead of speed density tune............. looks great but there were too many bends and the computer did not like it, so we had to scrap it for a 180* pipe and HOT air cleaner on top of the plenum.
Still working on a cover and air cleaner for the top of the engine
No the truck pan was way too low to the ground so the change was a camaro pan
