Yeah it does look tight with that big ole steering wheel!! Looks great though, us normal/shorter guys dont need that much crazy room. I think it looks great!

thanks man, its not that tight really, just not a lot of room for adjustment, but way more comfortable than the ol bench seat

dman1982 · 12-07-2014, 09:27 PM

so a little update on my build, i went to do the front gears a couple weeks ago, pretty much lost motivation, but had the front tires off and ready to work on, a few days ago i started again...holy crap my P/S spindle was a PINTA to get off...finally got it off and have both the axle shafts out and ready to start my gears (well in a couple weeks when i get off the road again) have to get these gears in for winter posi in the rear without 4 high would be just a bit too much fun

dman1982 · 03-02-2015, 04:12 PM

so I'm finally getting to my knock sensors, got them in, got a new intake gasket, having trouble getting the intake back on, it won't line up, is there a trick to this?

Huh? No trick that I know of. Just kinda angle it and plop it on. I have heard of these plastic intakes getting warped. Put a level on the runners and see how it looks.

You may be hitting something keeping you from going all the way back so you can set it down.

dman1982 · 03-02-2015, 09:14 PM

i ended up getting it...kinda just started in the middle and worked my way out, but hey no codes now!!!!

dman1982 · 03-17-2015, 09:39 PM

What you guys think?

dman1982 · 08-28-2015, 09:24 AM

just a little of a update, I've got about 5k on swap and its going good, so glad i did this and will be starting another one shortly...grounds have been the only real issue so far but other than that its been pretty awesome

dman1982 · 06-22-2020, 06:45 PM

Well, alots changed, dont know if any of ya are still here, but I moved to tn, in the process of moving the oil pump stopped and the block seized up, so I pulled motor and bored and stroked it to a 383, I'm in the process of putting it back in...kinda hard remembering where everything goes, but taking it nice and slow
