Re: 1950 project
I like the Hydroboost setup. I picked one up from the yard to put on my 55.2. I already have the regular booster in that location but will try to adapt the bracket, and master cyclinder to the booster.
Did you modify the bracket to make the booster fit? How about the lines? I would suggest getting the banjo connectors instead of the 45* connectors. That's what I'm going to do on mine. |

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku I really wanted long tubes but do not have enough clearance for the steering hook up to the rack, with theese I sould have no problem. they clear the frame rails by 1 inch at the closest point. the stock manifolds did not even come close to fitting. I would have had to notch the frame rails.

Re: 1950 project
It's alive!!! I started the motor tonight after sitting for 2 years. it only had 50 miles on it but you still never know buying used parts. the engine barely made one revolution before it kicked right of and purred like kitten. you gotta love fuel injection.

Re: 1950 project
Back in the day this truck was quite a departure from the previous trucks if you've ever been in a 46 chevy you'll notice you can roll down the passenger window without much effort.
in other news is there any way you could get a shot of your headers i'm still undecided i would prefer the tube header... thanks in ADVANCE GT

progress and confusion
made progress this weekend but I am also scratching my head. I welded in the firewall and floors and also hung the doors for the first time since I had the truck. I bought it in pieces. I mounted the firewall with screws and put the cab back on the truck so I could locate my motor and weld in the mounts.
and now after it is all welded in the firewall hits the motor. ![]() the motor mocked up before the firewall was welded ![]() ![]() the firewall welded in ![]() floors welded in ![]() motor out ![]() at least it is looking like a cab again ![]()

Re: 1950 project
do you have any clearence on your radiatior in the front of the engine. your firewall should clear. my stock firewall works for a 350 with no modifications. wonder of you need to modify your engine mounts?

Re: 1950 project
I should have room to move it forward considering it fits with a stock firewall. the thing that bugs me is I purposley put the cab back on the frame to locate the eng and trans. and it cleared the firewall with 3/4 inch to spare. the first pics showing the clearance was with the mounts welded in place. my first thought was I possibly had the front cab mounts off a little but they line up perfectly and the rear cab mounts also line up perfectly. I will try and mount the engine back in tonight and see what happens.

Re: 1950 project
with my ls1/street and perf. air filter/ and shorty but fatty rad. and fan shroud I had to build a custom core support to give me enough clearance in the front to clear basically the stock firewall in the back of the engine. my custom rad. support drops the rad about 4-5 inches from stock and moves it forward by about 3.
since your firewall is recessed quite a bit I'd say your fine. |

4 inches from the radiator (I am running an electric fan) ![]() and a little farther from the firewall than before ![]() ![]() cajun, my disadvantage is I bought this truck apart and do not know how much room there is for the rad to move forward and i also need a condensor upfront. got any pics of yours installed.

Re: 1950 project
You probably already thought of this but I would put on the accessorie pulley, fan, etc. to make sure you are not causing any other problems with radiator interference. I know on my 4wd conversion I am really having to think ahead to keep from doing stuff twice. Looking good so far.
