Re: my 80 build
4 MILES! Thats not far enough to even get the engine up to operating temperature. You could walk to work!
But where would the fun be in that? Smoke 'um son! |

Re: my 80 build
I let it warm up for a little bit, wile I get ready for work at it gets to operation temp by the time I get there, today I aligned the front end and checked the truck over, I got cleaned up filled the truck up with gas and went to a car show but got there to late after the show was over went to a car cruise then I noticed the fuel tank leaking again so when I got home I pulled the rear bumper, and wheels off and slide back the bed doesn't look like the hoses so I'm going to pull the tank again and see whats going on,

I wondered when you two would finally connect since you're not far from each other.

Re: my 80 build
that sounds great, I haven't done much to the truck lately except drive it, I did add the old subs and amp back in, bolted up the flywheel inspection cover had to trim a bunch of material off but it fits, In a couple of weeks I going to get the exhaust fix and get a tune

Re: my 80 build
I was wondering the samething.
Does the H3 pan hang below the main crossmember? I am in the process of converting my K5 to 2wd, but am running the stock truck pan. I am going to swap to the H3 pan (GM calls the 'Muscle Car' pan kit') and hope it good enough since mine will prob bagged all the way around. Thanks!!

Re: my 80 build
the pan does hang about a 1/2" or so below the cross member, I did take the truck to the track last night first pass ever 13.74 at 98 in the 1/4, 2nd pass 13.8 at 99, 3rd pass hooked good 13.6 at 98, 4th 16.8 at 88 left sideways with a hole lot of tire spin and coasted down the track, can't wait to get the 3600 stall, shift kit, drag radials and a real tune, should help it run low 13s high 12s
