Project "Love Affair"... 5.3/Wilwood/c10

[smokinstang70]

Got a little work done this weekend... got front suspension completed, got front shock support brackets installed, shocks installed and rear end disassembled. Will try to post pictures tomorrow.

Ran into some problem with installing the CPP LS tubular engine mounts... don't seem to line up properly. Anyone have any issues using these mounts?

Pictures would help diagnose the problem.

Made "a Little" progress over the last few weeks... in between work, a pregnant wife, and 17 month old running around... I haven't found much time to work on the truck. I usually head to the garage around 8:15 and work until about 9:30 every night. (while the wife watches the crap thats on tv... why can't there be a 24/7 "Power Block" channel?)

Got the rear rebuilt... disc brake conversion, girdle rear, and new brake lines on the way. (inlinetube.com... SS set). I bought a set of front sway bar brackets and bushings and got the rear re-installed in the chassis.

Next steps are to install brake lines, install sway bar, and get ready to set the motor.

P.S. - have some goodies on the way... the wife bought me the black wilwood D52 front calipers for Christmas... she's awesome!!!

Rear went together pretty nicely... after HOURS and HOURS of cleaning. CPP rear shock relocation kit installed... new monroe Sensatrac shocks front and rear, CPP front shock re-enforcing kit and CPP LS swap engine stands installed.

What rear disc brake kit did you use or parts?

Performance online kit.... It was around $500 new, but I bought it from a board member that had used it for mockup only for $400 ( I think). I like it, but would probably spend the extra money for a wilwood kit if I had to do it over. In fact, I'll let you buy them if your interested.
