they are Hedman Hedders that came with BRP Hotrods swap kit. Fit real good.

hessian18 · 08-27-2009, 06:58 PM

Did the Hedmans require any grinding or cutting on the passenger side framerail ?? Also what motor mounts did you use ??

You running a 4l60e ? or 80e ?

See you soon ahahahah

**N2TRUX** · 08-27-2009, 07:53 PM

Dang!

I can imagine trying to shut down from 100 on stock brakes. That could ruin a good pair of shorts. Those Baer brakes are going to make you motion sick they will shut you down so quick.

Tried to log on your blog and comment, but it said my user name was already take, What the heck? Everyone knows there is only one N2TRUX.

**nlped** · 08-27-2009, 09:58 PM

Those brakes are gonna sling the snot right out of you. Great way to cure a sinus infection

ratty 46 · 08-27-2009, 10:25 PM

I could only WISH that I had that brake set up.

Great thread to watch.

plenty of room on the passenger side. the driver's side is a tight fit. i ground the framerail a small amount but its probably not necessary. motor mounts also came from Brewer Hot Rods.

4l65E built by Gearstar

that's odd. you've got a twin i guess.

i think we are going to be tire-limited during the testing. i was able to get the stock brakes to lock up pretty easily. the Nitto Nt450s are a pretty hard compound. Im sure the stopping distance will be shorter but without softer tires we probably wont take full advantage of the brakes.

AceX · 08-28-2009, 01:49 AM

I'd love to see the brake test results as well. I'm going to be making a similar upgrade in the near furture and need something to base my "justification of funds" on.

hessian18 · 08-28-2009, 03:33 PM

Holy $hit !! Msd coils and wires !!

You running all poly bushings too ?

Thats a killer truck you got going thats for sure

Thanks for the pictures !

68 TT · 08-28-2009, 03:50 PM

Your coil packs cost more than I have into my whole truck.

That is going to be one sweet toy when you get it done. It is well on it's way with all you have done so far. Great job.

glock35ipsc · 08-28-2009, 03:57 PM

I'm sure you don't have the info handy right now

, but when you have time later on, can you post up the part number for those headers?

hessian18 · 08-28-2009, 05:03 PM

I could be wrong but arent the veins/slots on the rear rotor suppose to be facing towards the back ?
*** Edit had to re-phrase that LOL
From what I have seen the slots should go in the same direction as rotation...

Just curious, Im sure the guys at Baer KNOW what they are doing LOL !!!

More updates ? Im watching the blog now...\]

**Another edit.. I found an answer http://www.zeckhausen.com/how_to_pro...all_rotors.htm

according to Baer, they don't have to go in either direction, but they prefer it this way. The tech here says the vents work equally well in either direction and the slots and holes are drilled in this manner so as not to weaken the rotor. if the slots and holes were put in the rotor in the other direction there were build some intersection points that would weaken the rotor.

HOOPTY67 · 08-29-2009, 05:29 AM

well we stopped just outside of Las Cruces, NM. rest of the day went well. at dinner at the heart attack grille in Chandler, Arizona. The place is staffed by hot chicks in nurses outfits. The burgers are massive. Calin tried to polish off a Quadruple Bypass burger and he's payin the price for it now.

pics tomorrow. there are a few more blogs up here:http://blogs.sporttruck.com/index.html

Curly86 · 08-29-2009, 09:55 AM

HOOPTY67 · 08-31-2009, 01:19 AM

Well we spent the day in Ft. Worth visiting a few friends that wish to remain nameless after they helped me with a new addition to the '73.

I needed to inject a little humor into this trip after the soul-crushing 16 hour drive from Phoenix and when i saw a guy selling these on the side of the road I had to have them:
http://blogs.sporttruck.com/6575535/...ory/index.html

and how about a little damage report? So far we have repaired and/or replaced the following items:

trans computer
sepertine belt
valve stem
fuel pump
window regulator

the next four days will be spent at a body shop so it'll be tough to break stuff when not driving.
