looking good....

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

are you personally gonna shorten the rear diff, if so, what a re you gonna do about making sure the diff is strait after welding?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Wow, looks great so far....will love to follow along on this one...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

yes, it will be jigged up....basically a solid peice of round bar, thats perfectly streight, and 2 'pucks' that slide over the bar and into the bearing hole in the axle housings ends....if this doesnt make sense dont worry it will when i post the pics of the process...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

You ready to tell us yet? ;)

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Post pics of the new tunnel! It looks killer :metal:

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

yea tell em...we need sumthin interesting for a change!!!;)

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Don, when you make your engine harness and when you are shortening your wires do you solder and heat shrink them. Do you solder the O2 sensor wires. I was told today that you should not solder O2 sensor wires for some reason. If that is the case I am going to have to redo mine. Just wanted your opinon on that.

Thanx.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

when i make a harness, i buy the PCM pins, and then i shorten the wire and crimp the new pin on.... i take great care as to not have any brakes in the wire, i.e. no soldering, no butt crimp, just one sinlge wire with the proper termination (pins) on both ends......there are cases where i have to splice wires together, and in this case i solder the wires and then use a solder sleeve over that, then sometimes heat shrink over that.....in the rare event i have to lengthen a wire, i use the same method.....as for lengthing or shortening your o2 wires useing the solder method, you should be fine with that, if your soldering points are good... the only sensor i know of that the wire length is accounted for in the proper reading is a thermocouple, in messing with those you never lengthen or shorten them...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

68SS- What are you using to crimp the pins? Is there a special tool?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

yes, its called a weatherpack crimper...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

I knew that you shouldn't solder the wires from the connector to the sensor, but the harness wiring?? I hope it will be fine it is already done and in the truck- wish me luck.. I probably should have repinned it, but figured this was easier and cheaper..

Thanx

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

sure...as soon as we get em mocked up!;)

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

ok....the last trans tunnel i made was fine with my mock-up cab mounts (2x4)..i had four 2x4 wood blocks i was useing for the cab mounts at the time i made the tunnel, but when i put the real bushings in, only the rear were the same thinkness as the 2x4... the front was not as thick, thus lowering the cab and trans tunnel....so my .5" clearance between the trans and tunnel went to touching each other........oooooooopppppppsssssssssss, i even knew better:uhmk: so i cut it out and made another one, and this one flows better with everything else( like the dash) altho i know it'll be completely covered, least it looks good now:lol:

keep at it Don... looking good...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

got the rear end narrowed to 50", also centered the pinion....i didnt narrow it as planned, because the jig i planned on useing wasnt available. so i farmed it out. also ordered some universal axle perches for these trailing arm trucks....i had to torch out the half circles to fit around the axle tubes... got the rear end centered up, set the pinion angle,then welded the perches on...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Couple o' questions...

1) will u guys go w/ a bigger axel notch?

2) what's up with that members only emblem?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

on the notch, yes, we're more then likely gonna have to go with a bigger notch, for that sweet stance we want, while keeping it streetable too....
also the members only sign, is just that.if you dont know, you probley never will :lol: ;)

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

congrats on the members only sign :}. imma call to see if i get one too.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Man you do good work Turbo.trex from ls1tech ran across your thread over here ,reading from the start too now ,and I'm up to speed now..;)

Keep it coming ...:metal: Now I'm sleepy LOL

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

I''m Up now, :mm:Hey,D what brand gas tank and pump are you going with on your set up's and the cost you have in it thanks ..

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

thanks 72, its a fuelcellguy tank (hes a member on here) and he sells the tank with a tank inc. pump, thats in the tank......i think the tank with shipping was around 700-750.....also i think i may of talked with you over the phone awhile ago, is your name trey??

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

I will pm you .....-0n info

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

That is all fantastic work especially the dash:metal:
I have read every page twice and you don't mention what or where the evaporator came from. Is it a Gen 4 mag? I called Vintage air and the sales guy would not confirm that a Gen 4 would fit my 71. I am in the mist of shaving my firewall and if I need to fab any brackets and weld , now would be a good time to have it. Your info would save me from buying a mock up unit.
Richard

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

sorry, yes it is a VA gen 4 magnum.....i use the VA condensor/ dryer that is SPECIFIC to the 67-72 chevy trucks, and then i make my own A/C and heat lines.....
any more ?s just ask, ill be glad to help if i can...
thanks for the complaments
you will need to fab some kinda mounting bracket, and weld it on.....they make it real easy to adapt their mounting bracket to something you can fab up and weld....its not bad at all.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

got a few new parts in, so the front suspension got pulled back out.......also im glad the huge ice storm that covered masa, AZ is all melted now, and the back ordered parts are getting shipped out finally...
the intake is now insanely close to the firewall, but we already had this covered, but that'll be a diffrent post with pics.....

I am speechless, that is insanely awesome, i am so jealous, i want a drop member but......... the other halve says no, you spent enought already, maybe in the future, anyways that lloks great, love the killer 2, nothinf better.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

looks like you have more work to do on the firewall to clear the intake, or you could space the cab up 1/2" to 3/4" . looking great.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Does the crossmember raise the engine or is the 6.2 intake that much bigger then a 5.3L..

Looks great...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Killer 2 huh???? :lol:

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

we already desided that diffrent accy, and a better looking intake was gonna be needed awhile ago...
yes it does raise the engine, the 6.2 intake is a little bigger then the 5.3 tho...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

LS3 intake ?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Edelbrock has a nice new intake, but I vote sheetmetal :metal:
