Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

glad to hear they took care of you. couldn't you modify your brake plumbing ends? but then again...if you're talking about the "old" brake lines...you're better off starting out with new ones with all new brakes.

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

That's kinda what I was thinking. I think I will go with the stainless set, just so I don't have to worry about them ever again.

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

Here are a few pics of the final engine install. I think it came out looking like a factory install.

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

Here is a pic of the CPP brake setup (upgraded to 73-87 parts) with 2.5" drop spindles and 2" drop coils. I purchased the CPP "Grand Slam" so I still have the back to do and install the new master cylinder/booster.

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

what kind of vehicle did the motor come out of

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

It is a 2008 5.3L with a 4L60E trans out of a Silverado "post#4"

Spike:smoke:

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

You sir have a very beautiful truck. :) Its cool to see you live in Alta Loma, Im right over in Rancho close to Baseline and Vineyard. I hope to see you and this truck out about!

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

that came out great!!
i agree with nibs!!
very beautiful truck with a younger heart!!

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

very nice job! Does look factory!

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

:agree:
Totally agree it does look factory. Super install. I hope my turns out close to that clean.! Awesome:metal:
The brake and suspension looks great too.:chevy:

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

Thanks for everyone's kind words. It is nice to see someone else in Rancho building a C10. Perhaps we'll have a 2 person truck club when I'm done.:bann:

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

HAHA, yea we could do that! That is, when Im home and not going around the world... :/

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

Yes, it looks very good, nice and clean.

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

great build i always wondered if i should put a new engine in mine

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

love your build, looks super clean, nice work

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback.

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

Check out the new seats I installed yesterday. The driver's side is a power seat. They are out of a 2003 Avalanche (so I'm told) and they fit very nicely. I haven't decided what I want to do for a center console.

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

I also got the rear 6" CPP drop springs in. Check out the new stance. I like it.

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

those seats look sweet. and so does the stance.

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

Thanks, I've been looking at your build too. Thanks for the prop valve info.

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

wow! you have really transformed this truck it looks good! i cant wait to see it with the bed on

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

Me too!!!

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

i guess great minds think alike:D

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

Those seats look great! How hard was it to make them fit? the new stance is awesome!

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

Wasn't hard at all. The bolt holes line up with the factory support rails (on 1 side of each seat, since the old one was a bench), I just had to drill new holes. They fit in there perfectly.

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

Looks good... really good. Doing a C-notch next?

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

I was going to, but everyone on here says it's not needed. I would rather not hack up the frame if it is not needed. Besides, I would have to move my reg/filter setup.

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

I've been thinking about a set of seats like that. Is there plenty of room to mount a '67-'72 or the later console? Like the one in the '70s-'80s?

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

Plenty of room between the seats. It's pouring rain outside right now, so I don't want to take the cover off to measure, but I'm sure it will fit. I was considering a factory console as well, but I like the cup holder style and they are hard to find in mint condition.

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

i was thinking somthin exactly like this! http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1294091241

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

That looks like a nice option. I liked the built in seat belts on the factory ones. Made for an easier install for me.

nice build!

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

Yes, yes you should and sell me the 302 :-) :metal::chevy:;):flag::flagw::tee::ennyd::hot::four::two::burnout::bo2::truck::wave:

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

You said you used the ECE mounts HERE. Did you also use their adapter plates or make your own? The ones in the pictures look like the 73 up style motor perches. I am trying to decide whether to use this style or the old school single bolt style....advice?

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

Nice truck.

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

hahahah you funny

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

I used the ECE ls motor install kit. I also used their trans x-member and everything bolted in perfectly. I highly suggest it.

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

how did you find this engine cover? did it come on a gm production vehicle? how much was it?

also, what brand and tire size are on your truck? it all looks good!

thanks, jake

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

It was the same one that was on my 2008 Tahoe. I liked the way it looked on there, so I just went with that. I think it was around $60 from the stealership.

They are 295/50-15 Futura Super Sport GLS tires. I don't like them myself, so when I get my 20's I'll be selling these. I'll let you know. I'll make you a great deal on the set.

Re: '67 5.3L Build Thread
 

What radiator hoses did you use? I have a 71 chev C-10 and am installing a 2001 5.3 out of a GMC Suburban and the GMC Suburban hoses are too small for the 71 Radiator fittings?
