hey Matt looks great , what headers are you running? part #?

i need a set for my LS2

[Slammed66]

Hey Pat this is what im running 99-02 camaro long tubes. I got these ones from Speed Daddy..

http://www.ebay.com/itm/RACING-MANIF...5a19a3&vxp=mtr


they do need a couple of mods they have some little pollution sumthin pipes/ flanges sticking up off of them. and the LH header kicks into the frame rail , it can easily be corrected with one cut , rotate the collector and weld.





I had my buddy tig em up and he filled the air tubes for me as well. Came out super slick....

They come very close to the lower control arm shaft so I made some minor dimples on one tube on each side. Some guys say the pacesetters fit real well too. The price was hard to beat and the quality is good on these so Ill give em a shot.

also a side note to others these headers require trimming the te side of the bellhousing ear on my th350.

hope this helps.

Matt it's looking good. You better get cracking as Super Run is getting close buddy. I assume your gonna thrash to be there?

[Apache63]

Thanks Matt , that helps a lot!!

For sure , hope these help

Step :1 flip the frame over, or remove the crossmeber its probably better to keep it in the frame for modding.

and cut out all the taper so the crossmember will be smooth all the way across so It wont drag and your truck will lay out properly.



Cut up some 3/16 plate to fit the shape.



weld it out and smooooooooth.





the top I dont have pics of. I cut out the top and welded in a peice of 3 inch pipe to clear the drive shaft it was awfully close, so I gave it a lil room.



to look at it now, it kinda bugs me I didnt fill the old trailing arm mount holes............. uh oh.......

[coulter]

good to see some progress on this one man!!! keep it up

[wannabelower]

Thats slick!

Nice truck too man. Hope to see it around here!

[LowDown]

I really Dig your work .Looking good! I'm kinda doing the same style rear setup on my 61 but I was looking at the welder series four link. The one you used looks much more stout , I like that. If you don't mind me asking where'd you get it , and what are the length of the bars c-c ?

[chevy88]

It looks like you lost all your pics? That sucks, anyways how's your build coming?

[Slammed66]

Hey guys looks like I've got some work to do, I'm not sure where the pics went.

I took a time out this summer . I picked up a 72 long box with 26,000 original miles. Slammed it on air, and used my 20/22 coys on it.

I'm back on the 64 now. I just finished smoothing out the rad support, and I expect to make smoke mid January. Then I can make everything look pretty !!

Pics will be post when I figure it all out..

Nice build man. If you moved the pictures into a different folder then the links won't work.

Hey Jason!

I haven't updated since I lost all my pictures. Kinda disheartened a little I guess.

Ill have to ask a mod how to fix this.

Still picking away , I shaved the rad support, moved the battery to the rear,
Mounted the fuel cell , and I'm redoing the flush mount brake booster.

I mounted the rad, and Efan. And have to build a shroud.
After that I can body work abd paint the rad support.

Then finish plumbing the fuel system, and wire it up.

Been busy with accuair installs for other people as well.

So yes I've been squirreling away for Portland 28 days from now, not that I'm counting.....lol

[PHAT TONY]

Good! He needs people to keep him on track and stay focused; peer pressure and stuff....

[Slammed66]

I'm trying , I'm trying

I need more time!!!!

I work away from home. Week on week off. + I have a super cute 1 year old daughter. + we are building a new house ie bigger garage!!!

And for some insane reason. I became a dealer for Porterbuilt and Accuair.
I've been super busy with other installs.

I have a 68 long box build for a customer that's gonna kick off soon. But I'm trying hard to hear this thing run before I dig into the 68.

It stops, it steers . I need to finish the cooling system, plumb the fuel and powernsteering lines.
Then wiring.,

It's coming S l o w l y . . .
