Pictures of my now clean motor - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here are some pictures of my motor all cleaned up in my 68 c-10. It is a 307 and I just got done installing a eld. 600, eld. performer manifold, 93 s-10 serp. setup, points eliminator and a new timing chain. I will snap some more pictures of the finshed product as these are in process pictures.

Looks great! Where did you get the clear section for the radiator hose.

PRETTY!!! I've got one on an engine stand that needs cleaning, whats the best way? Unless, of course, you want to come over and do it?!?

I have a steel tube in there now, but a clear one sure would look cool!

No thanks! I used engine degreaser and took of what I could and blasted it in the cabnet.

And just so you can share in my stressfull evening, I was up all last night trying to get it to run! I had good luck with that after I gave the petronix a full 12 volts. I had it going to the coil and it would start then die. Upon reading the instructions

I read the part that if you vehicle had a balast resitor or resistor wire (that is what our trucks have) it must have 12v from the ignition. After I did that it ran nice but the right side Ims screw does not change how it runs and it has a surge issue going down the road. It also has a little vibe at idle, what do you guys have your idle set at? I am sure I will get these last items fixed but if anyone had any ideas I would be glad to hear them.

You should add a bigger air cleaner so the engine can breath properly. Looks good

I used polished aluminum electrical conduit for my '82 Z28 and my brother's
'78 GMC. I love the look of it!

Looks great!

That serpentine setup looks sharp...

68c-10 · 10-11-2007, 09:48 PM

Thanks for all of the kind remarks! I will get some finshed pictures tomorrow and post them up. I have been driving the truck a little and so far have been very happy how the engine came out. The M/T stands for Mickey Thompson
as for as I know. I wanted finned covers and my friend gave them to me for free!

HEY 68c-10, IT LOOKS GREAT. GET YOU SOME ALUMINUM BRIGHTNER AND USE RUBBER GLOVES. TAKE A SPONGE AND DAB IT ON THE ALTERNATOR TO BRIGHTEN IT UP!

72armyswbtruck · 10-12-2007, 01:19 AM

Hey that's pretty cool, was it very difficult to put together and swap out?
What did that set up set you back?

earl87gta · 10-12-2007, 08:10 AM

Looks good cleaned up nice.

68c-10 · 10-12-2007, 08:30 AM

The cost broke down like so

Brakets, pullys, power steering pump, ac compressor and alt - $50.00

A/c delete or bypass pulley - $31.00

New power steering hose for a 1968 chevy - $16.00

Stainless 90 for the power steering hose to not hit the block - free

Wiring kit to convert to the new alternator - $20.00

Water pump for 93 s-10 with a 4.3 - $17.00

Total $134.00 not including one idle pully I replaced do to me not recalling the cost.

It was as easy as bolting on the brackets and connecting some plugs. I had to leave out one bolt on the pass side due to my head not having the bolt hole required. This is near the intake and there is a brace that goes from that side to a water pump bolt so I think it will be fine. The power steering was simple due to the fact that I switched fittings on the pump. The stock pump is double flare and the new one is o-ring so I simply unscrewed the fitting out of the old pump and put in the new one no problems. The replacement hose I got came with a brass adapter which would have put the hose into my block due to the pump being tucked in tighter. To get around that I had my freind bend up a short 90 with the correct fittings and hooked it up. I am very happy with it and love that I can crank the steering wheel and not hear the chirp of the belt!

On to some more pictures!
