Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
you guys ROCK!
![]() as for the oil pan, i have to call BRP this morning and MAKE SURE there kit makes it possible to run the stock a/c compressor in the stock location w/o notching the frame for the lines and order the kit. then i can set the motor in and see how far down the oil pan hangs. they say it only hangs down an inch butwe'll see. the BRP mount kit is expensive but i figure after i buy the conversion plates($50) motor mounts($30) and a top mount a/c unit with compressor($300) tranny mount($20) i'm right up there($450 BRP kit) give or take a hundred and i wont have to worry about the tranny crossmember or the bend in the frame with the longer tranny. thoughts?? as for the fan clutch...i'll see about getting a better strap wrench and maybe take the entire pump over to my buddy at the GM dealership and have someone break it loose. Billy, i'm off tuesday man. i almost called ya this weekend(had the last 4 days off) but being a holiday weekend i didnt want to bother ya out of the blue ![]() Gerald, ![]() ![]() as for the fire wall! you just HAD to bring it up HUH!? No buddy, i'm dreading the whole body work/ welding deal. i still need to get a welder and fix the floor pan too. maybe i can just ship that out too huh Gerald! ![]()
