You have a Beautiful truck started there. I really like the grey powder coating on the frame. I have been looking at the same for mine...what grey did you use?

I feel like you probably read up a lot on your set up and I have a LQ4/4L80e questions!!!! Can you run that set up with a ls1 style intake without changing the truck harness to the f body engine harness? and if you do have to change to the f body harness... do the transmissions (4l80e and 4l60e) share the same connections?! I know f body guys get 4l80's built and use them with the factory PCM... Hopefully I'm making sense. If you can shed a little light on the subject or have a link to something, thank you. If not... thanks for building a badass truck and documenting it.

You can run an F-body harness but you will have to either use the F-body injectors or change the connectors. As for the transmission you can run an 80e by adding a input speed sensor and wiring 2 wires to the PCM. The rest of the connectors are the same, the only other mod you will need to make is to the round connector on the transmission. Terminal U gets moved to terminal S and the original wire in S is no longer used. Hope this helps.

very helpful! thank you.
A friend tried to steer me away from the 4l80 saying it was "more work than what its worth" and said to just built the th400.

Brandon - great looking pickup so far! I'm loving the frame and engine colors. Sorry if you provided already, but can you let us know what tire sizes you are running?

Thanks!

Finally got the mount built for my Accuair Exo mount. Wanted to keep everything together and out of the way so I designed a mount to hold the whole unit and float it over the gas tank. Think it turned out pretty good for a simple design that bolts to the notch with rivnuts!

Thanks guys, hopefully I will get my elevel sensors mounted up tonight and start plumbing the airlines. Once that is done I can get the bed floor frame figured out.

Nice job on the accuair bracket Brandon

Woodnears · 08-30-2016, 08:55 PM

That looks familiar. I like it. Are you doing hardlines?

Woodnears I guess great minds think alike

I was going to do stainless lines but I am back to just running the plastic Synflex lines. I plan to put a lot of miles on this thing and the plastic lines are a lot easier to fix on the fly imo. Aluminum was my other option but I have seen too many cases of the lines work hardening then cracking.

Woodnears · 08-31-2016, 09:47 AM

I full agree, I plan on having a few extra feet of tubing and a splice or two in the truck at all times.

shores6 · 09-09-2016, 03:02 PM

That mount looks awesome man!

Thanks Todd, took a few attempts to get it right but I am happy with the result.

Got the front end sand blasted and in epoxy primer. Going to start getting on the metal work and hopefully get the bed and doors off to the blaster this week.

Front end is just set on the frame to keep the stuff out of my way for now, which is why the cowl and hood look funky. Still got my fingers crossed with this Holley Hi-Rise fitting under the stock hood. If it does, it will be really really close.
