350 & 700r4 finally in, first drive....
Hi all,
After purchasing my 69 short step I found this board. What a blast these old trucks are. I had low oil pressure problems and decided I should rebuild the 350 in the truck. I also decided that a 700r4 tranny would be the way to go. Well today I finally got it all back together and took it for its first drive. ![]() ![]() John 69 C10 Short Step |

That is one clean looking motor!
How in the world did you get those headers to fit??? It looks like you have 0 clearance on the driver side at the crossmember. Maybe it's just the picture. |

Sweet looking power plant, but what I really want to see is a side view of the truck itself, it looks awesome!!

Thanks for the compliments,
Just enough room on the headers. The passenger side required a little adjustment made to the frame, I didn't want to dent in the header. I had moved the motor ahead into the v-8 position. I just need to work on the trailing arms and install some drop springs/shocks in the back and it will be ready for a road trip. I have to pick up some 5 on 5 corvette ralleys I bought from a board member. John |

Not sure of the brand name of the headers but they look very similar to those on an old camaro I once had. 700R4 is hydraulic lock up. Rebuilt by local shop and using bowtie overdrives cable and bracket.
