The water pump is on, tomorrow paint! I am putting a reverse flow water pump and a serpentine drive from a 97 Silverado!

skymangs · 07-26-2021, 08:18 PM

Front of the engine is now masked and touched up!

skymangs · 07-27-2021, 08:14 PM

The front of the motor in fresh paint
The lower pulley installed

skymangs · 08-02-2021, 09:47 PM

Stabbed the distributor today and prepped/painted parts

skymangs · 08-03-2021, 10:54 PM

We removed the mechanical fuel pump and installed a block off plate
We re-installed the fuel rail

skymangs · 08-05-2021, 08:47 PM

we had to lift the motor because the power steering bracket was bolted to the motor Mount
This is what I intend to do to the upper plenum and valve covers.

skymangs · 08-10-2021, 08:45 PM

we put one runner on (they’re ding free
we also cleaned and painted the serpentine accessory brackets.

skymangs · 08-12-2021, 09:25 PM

we got both runners on, but IOT get the old power steering pump off (it was attached to the divers side motor mount. IOT get it off we had to unbolt and lift the front of the motor and lift it. Now we are strugling getting them back in.
Also got the fuel sender in.

skymangs · 08-13-2021, 11:12 PM

This is the new 6AN nylon braided fuel line we will be using throughout.

skymangs · 08-17-2021, 11:13 AM

We got the EGR block off plate installed

skymangs · 08-18-2021, 11:08 PM

We’re painting engine color between the fins on the Valve covers
The upper plenum and throttle body are on
This is a 58mm BBK throttle body (10mm bigger than stock) It should complement my 24lb/hr injectors and adjustable fuel pressure regulator nicely.

skymangs · 08-19-2021, 10:01 PM

Today we installed the engine harness through the firewall
we also mocked up a finished valve cover so you can see the look we’re going for

skymangs · 10-27-2021, 12:04 PM

We finally got the new motor mounts and pedestals in!

skymangs · 10-30-2021, 11:11 AM

We got the polished aluminum rams horn manifolds on
we fabricated the downpipes for the exhaust

skymangs · 10-30-2021, 11:15 AM

We bought some 3.5” pipe and cut holes in the crossmember
Then welded the pipe in to tuck the 2.5” duals above the frame

skymangs · 11-20-2021, 10:18 PM

We had issues with the ram's horns, with 2.5” pipe they wouldn’t clear the frame. So the easiest solution was to buy new header’s. These Stainless steel shortys are listed for a 70's F body.

skymangs · 12-03-2021, 10:55 AM

we started to build the exhaust
2.5 " full duals
We constructed full 6AN lines, fuel and return

skymangs · 12-09-2021, 10:48 AM

we finished the exhaust yesterday
2.5” true duals
Should sound pretty mean!

skymangs · 12-09-2021, 10:46 PM

we finished the fuel system today
That’s all real 6AN, front to rear

skymangs · 12-11-2021, 10:09 AM

we got the upper plenum on for the last time
Also built an AN line for the high pressure power steering hose

skymangs · 12-14-2021, 09:11 PM

We completely gutted the dash and wiring in anticipation of the new harness
Here’s how the motor is shaping up
