Re: my 80 build

thanks, tomorrow if I have time at work I'll see if I can't pick up a 4l80e, and order a ACDelco EP381 fuel pump so the fuel tank will be complete on inside then a coat of rattle can black on the outside

Re: my 80 build


I didn't bother painting the timing cover and oil pan since I'll be installing a cam and will be installing a shallower oil pan

And so the snowball begins.

It's better to do it now, or it will bug you from now on. Take your time. As good a job as you have done on the truck so far it should turn out great.

oh I no I been wanting to it 4 years since I noticed the frame was hacked and nothing lines up and also when I patched the floors I used lmc lay over floor pans over the rusty floors so I will be cutting those panels out with new pans, the lower cowl panel has a little rust and when the past owner shorted the frame he curled up the rear brake lines so I plan on installing all new brake lines.

I have true dual header header back exhaust with 2 1/4 pipe that ends behind the rear tires with flow master 40 series, I would like to go with 3" with x pipe and flow master 10 series. For wheels if you have the right back spacing and a little trimming you can fit a 11" wheel, and the drop is a 5-7
