Re: My 66 GMC LWB
I got my cam and lifters swapped out yesterday and just finished breaking it in. I used the original valve springs for the break in, so now I just need to swap them out with the new ones when the engine cools down
 Once this is done, I moving on to the gas tank relo project  Tony Posted via Mobile Device Last edited by AZ66GMC; 04-17-2011 at 02:18 PM. |

Re: My 66 GMC LWB
I got my cam, lifters, springs and chain swapped out last weekend
I made a video of it running... It's nothing too special, just a Comp Cams High Energy 268. It sounds good enough for me and has more power  http://youtu.be/HkW7C-UOOMA Tony Last edited by AZ66GMC; 04-26-2011 at 09:36 PM. |

Re: My 66 GMC LWB
Thanks Dave
It's been awhile... A long while... Have been working a lot and remodeling the house after a water leak in the attic.  I got a new aluminum radiator for fathers day and installed it last week. I'll post pics and details this weekend. I'm also cleaning up my M/T valve covers and will install them this weekend. They look killer  IMO  I'll post more soon Tony Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: My 66 GMC LWB
Those valve covers are timeless.
What's the specifics on that radiator? Who made it, how much, etc...

Re: My 66 GMC LWB
Hey Shaky, I forgot that part in the post...
I got it from eBay (engineered products) it was $230 shipped http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...#ht_3321wt_948 It was not a direct drop-in. The top and bottom tank are squared off more than the stocker so I had to spread the radiator tabs open more to get it to fit... Other than that, it was a decent fit. It's a two row, but with 1" tubes like the top of the line BeCool and others. I dropped about 23 degrees in temp with the swap So far it's a good swap for me. Time will tell on how long it will last... Tony Posted via Mobile Device Last edited by AZ66GMC; 07-10-2011 at 07:42 PM. |
