I hope you got your leak under control now.

Not sure if I missed it or what, but what engine do you have in your 'Burb?

bruin_d · 09-24-2011, 06:30 PM

Its a 402.

Also, found a cool place on my test run to snap some pics.

**67cheby** · 09-24-2011, 06:32 PM

Killer pics !!

ChuckDriver · 09-24-2011, 09:02 PM

That looks real familiar! Hope your trip goes well and I'm very glad I was able to meet you and see the awesome work you have done! And let me tell everyone it sounds AWESOME in person!

nice touch

*project 67 sub* · 10-14-2011, 03:55 AM

haha you ran it like mine except not all the way out the back, which i may change it to like that (how yours is now). been thinking about it for a while just not sure yet, or i may run the exhaust under the axle and out the back instead of over the axle and out the back

ChuckDriver · 10-14-2011, 07:31 AM

Very cool! How was the trip across the country?

bruin_d · 10-14-2011, 11:07 AM

As far as the trip goes...it died a painful...painful...death. When i was putting the transmission together I didn't want to put the pan back on without a drain plug. Instead of drilling it and welding a nut on the inside (like I've done 20 times in the past) I decided to buy the pretty chrome one from summit for like $30 or something like that. Biggest mistake I made on anything I've done. That POS will not seal. Fluid just POURS out of the gasket area. After yesterday, I've now had the pan off 5 times trying to get it to seal. I've tried everything I know (rubber, cork, black RTV, sand blasted the surface to get the chrome off, etc) and nothing works. I pulled it off last night and beat it with my sledge hammer to take my frustrations out on it. I have one of the B&M cast aluminum ones coming today. It better seal. So.....since I couldn't get the tranny to stop leaking and was running out of time, I ended up just having it shipped. It was just leaking too much. I'm so pissed at that pan for ruining my drive its not even funny (I made sure it knew it yesterday though...).

*project 67 sub* · 10-14-2011, 11:50 AM

well that sucks, im sure you would have loved to drive it over here.... cause i know i would have

You would've liked to drive mine or yours...? Hahaha! Are you gonna bring yours down to Temecula tonight or tomorrow?

*project 67 sub* · 10-14-2011, 01:06 PM

no unfortunately not..... cant afford it, and it has a few minor issues i need to fix

gcburdic · 10-14-2011, 01:48 PM

Dang Chief....you showed that pan who was boss didn't you!!!

bruin_d · 10-14-2011, 02:00 PM

New tranny pan is here. If it still leaks, I'm either going to weld the mf-er on or I'm going to drive it off a cliff. I HATE LEAKS!!!!!!!

YUP!!! I'll try to remember to snap a pic and put it up.

*project 67 sub* · 10-14-2011, 02:07 PM

if it leaks you can send it to me, or the whole truck

edit: how much did that run you and where did you get it from???

Summit, $117 I think plus $25 for next day air. Its part number 20280.

bruin_d · 10-14-2011, 02:29 PM

Some underneath pics of the exhaust. I am absolutely thrilled with how it came out!

k5hart · 10-14-2011, 02:37 PM

Looks good! It's seem pretty close to the wheels but I guess it's clearing. Did you take those noisy mufflers off??
