What did that set you back? I am on the fence so far about building my 350 or doing the swap.

1968C20CST · 03-15-2014, 11:08 PM

Looks factory! Nice work!

69Rumbler · 03-15-2014, 11:25 PM

Thanks !! Haha
It set me back enough . It was a newer motor so it was more . I got a really good deal on it tho lol . It's just all the thing I need the 6 speed auto to work and everything thing else added up real quick ha
Rusty I was in the same boat as you .. I said F it and went this route

*Fitz* · 03-15-2014, 11:27 PM

Why? I still like mine!

6600DURAMAX · 03-15-2014, 11:27 PM

69Rumbler · 03-15-2014, 11:33 PM

Well I got motor Trans for 3k which was a steal hahah odds and ends was an other 2k dash 800 . Lol thing is a beast ... Not a 572 lol but it's good enough for my DD . Lucky I had an evil genius help me .. Had to move the battery to the back .

Looks good man! I just got the 6.0LSx and 4l80e installed in my 71. I think they look nice under the hood of these models.

19673ontree · 03-16-2014, 08:02 AM

**70cst** · 03-16-2014, 08:25 AM

69Rumbler ... that is sweet

bMr · 03-16-2014, 10:17 AM

Chin up 69Rumbler, you may not have a 572 but you probably don't have that dash pad either.

Congrats on the install.

FRANKENSTEINC10 · 03-16-2014, 10:39 AM

nice work!!! absolutely love the gauges

I just couldn't resist after your lead in. That Vortech looks good in that truck. For a DD that's a really good choice. Mine, you measure the mileage in gallons/mile but it sure does spank the boy-racer mustang guys!

About 10 lightpoles to the gallon?

Closer to six!
But it's how you get there that matters, not the destination.

Lee H · 03-16-2014, 12:08 PM

5K, (w/o dash) is a GREAT price!! I have more than that in my 383 and I have no FI, computer control, OD trans, etc. Hind sight.......

Good job!

Syndrome · 03-16-2014, 04:39 PM

What kind of mileage are you getting out of, not a play run, but when your keeping your foot out of it.

69Rumbler · 03-16-2014, 04:44 PM

Yea I love my truck even more hahah ... It's awesome for a DD , I'm getting more them 10 light poles haha like 17 mpg realistically driving ..
Thanks guys it was one thing after an other with this paint is next just can't put a cheap paint job on it . So I need to save , hahah
Yea I got a good deal on it . It's good to be able to talk people down when it comes to paying them lol ... I wanted an 6.0 but for the price couldn't say no , and I'll have to drop a cam and I'll get an extra 100 Hp . So I'm ok with that .

hogwild99 · 03-16-2014, 07:35 PM

That is sweet one day I will be running that!%)

Lee H · 03-16-2014, 08:33 PM

What exhaust manifolds and motor mounts did you use? Did you modify the Engine harness or computer?

Tillik · 03-16-2014, 08:48 PM

And did you have to mod your frame for the exhaust manifolds?
