ammo can hold ecu i assume? pretty cool

all the ammo cans in my truck just hold....ammo.

Looks nice! I have the same ammo can, I keep my junk yard tools in it. Never thought of putting a PCM in it, cool idea though.

that looks like an awesome truck. Anymore details on it?

[dkauffman05]

I bought the truck about a year ago all original. Drove it home install a drop and disc brakes and the wheels and drove it daily with the 250 3 speed until about 2 months ago when i ran across a deal on the 5.3. I did the door logos myself with some homemade stencils . Soon as i get my tuning situation figured out it will be my dd again.

[68Stepbed]

Can we get more info on the wheel/tire setup, and what drop?

That thing looks great. I even like the smoothed stock VC's. I was gonna do that on mine, but ended up getting different ones instead. Also, where did you mount the coil packs?

[mooseknuckles]

what are you using for a throttle body spacer?

[dkauffman05]

Truck has cpp 2 1/2 spindals with just over one round cut fromnfactory coils.rear is cpp 5" coils 18x8 18x9.5 338's 255/40 285/50 nitto tires. Coils are mounted on rear of heads on homemade brackets,plugwires rout behind headers and up to coils.tb spacer is a poweraid i had laying around from another truck it just helped me get throttle linkage away from truck water pump using ls1 intake.

[dkauffman05]

Well figured out what the bogging was. I had the o2 harness reversed.now it runs perfect.

[68Stepbed]

Great looking truck! Glad you got it fixed and running right.

[Indian113]

What did you do to your intake? I sure like it what ever ya did.

[dkauffman05]

Nothing more than some "cast iron" paint. its from a ls1

[Plunkett]

What motor mounts are you running and what kind of headers are those? Also, did you move the engine forward or back? I'm wanting to do the ls swap in my 72 but am confused on what position to put the motor in.

just heard of another recent swap that was having issues. they took it to a local shop and it was this same issue.

[dkauffman05]

I am using my 6 cyl mounts and stands. I made my own adapter plates with some 1/4" steel bolted them to my block droped it in and traced my mounts holes onto the plate when it whas where i wanted it to sit pulled it back out drilled and tapped holes for my mounts to bolt to the plates. My prob sits a little further forward than most because my coilpacks are on the rear of my heads and i needed room for them and my throttle pedal rod.headers are dynatech 2nd gen camaro .

[gringoloco]

Nice! Do your headers hang below the framerails?

[dkauffman05]

Yes they hang below but no more than my truck oil pan.

[Plunkett]

Did you have to notch the factory cross memeber for the truck pan to work?

[dkauffman05]

Nope its close but its just above the sway bar and cross member

[68chvy]

Any mods to engine? How's the gas mileage?

It has a car intake ,comp cam and tune. I honestly dont know about mpg. I just drive and enjoy it. My daily commute it stop and go backroads .

[wicky]

What all did u have to do to put the car intake on. Ive been told u need to change the water pump and some other things?

[dkauffman05]

Car intake was easy. I have a truck water pump, the upper fitting is a press fit so i put some heat on it with a torch and turned the neck a little to clear the throttle body linkage. I have a f-body alt setup and now i have f-body power steering pump with some spacers i got at ace to make them inline with the truck belt line.
