My 93 CCSSB

[2chainz]

sounds like a plan. I have to pick up me drive shaft some times soon. get a rear window, weld up the top of the cab and get ready to to do the body work around the cab where i welded. put the tank back, put bolts in the frame where I weded and braced. Im half way there. But I got a ton of other stuff getting in the way. smh

[scotts62]

I know the feeling with the stuff in the way.. Thats cool, do you have a build thread started?

[scotts62]

In the shop waiting patiently..

[2chainz]

I didnt do a thread but I have alot of pictures on here somewhere lol. I didnt know how to post them so a buddy posted them for me I had the suburban to crew cab sb denali truck you may have saw pictures of it. idk

[2chainz]

So what else do you have left to do to it?

[scotts62]

Today i finished up the wiring on the engine, new hoses, thermostat, and belt. Removed the trans and put the new torque converter in, have to go back in with it tomorrow. Cut out all the old exhaust and got the new stuff with the flowmaster ready. Have to modify the trans mount for the 4l60 but its getting very close

Not sure about the BB but small blocks have 4 bolts that are straight down verses angled for the TBI and vortechs and they need a specific style of intake or you can do what i have done and angle them out with a drill and go with it

[2chainz]

Cool thanks

From what I understand, some of the 454's come stock with an adapter to mount the tbi to a carb intake...I'm not sure if they all were like this or if it was certain years. All of the 454's with tbi I have seen have perimeter valve cover bolts, so I'm guessing maybe the heads stayed the same from carb to tbi...

New trans and converter in again


had to swap out the spindle from a '91 because the '95 ones had bigger inside diameter bearings and the rotors are about $30 more each because of the ABS that i was not using. Got teh new brake lines and calipers on it (sorry Joe i forgot to get the pic when done )



Got most of the wiring all straightened out in engine bay but still have the taillight wires to go. All sensors on engine and filled with oil. Have to take back oil filter and trans filter (got to shop and oil filter was missing the O ring and trans filter was not even close but the box was right.. got the trans cross member holes drilled to mount to the frame and now its down to the nitty gritty

[joe231]

Nice progress!!

sounds good looks like you are back on it. thanks for the info on the intake. I worked on the truck alittle to day I got some nuts bolts and lock washers for the tractor trailer junk yard last week for the frame. I started drilling the holes today, but its gonna take me a couple of days to do that smh it kicked my a$$ lol my plasma cutters out of order.

[scotts62]

ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have some bugs to work out and i think the IAC is acting up or something because its idling a bit funny and kind of fluctuates every couple minutes.. not sure, ill have more time to mess with it in a couple days.

[Palf70Step]
