Secondly, I can't wait to see how this turns out. Good looking Burb to start with and only getting better.

Lastly, that 2nd picture that is of the side of the oil pan. Littlevictories is correct. That is for an oil cooler. The only thing to keep in mind is that there is a specific piece that bolts onto that if you are not using the oil cooler. The piece allows oil to flow from one side to the other. In other words, it isn't a good idea to bolt a flat piece of metal across the 2 holes. If you need one, I believe I have an extra one kicking around the shop. I can check and ship it to you for the price of some pictures of your trans/slave cylinder setup.

That works. I'll take some pics when I get home tonight. Thanks.

So I have a little progress to report. I took apart the 04 fuel lines and started mock up. I mounted the front section to the engine/tranny.

From there it'll have a short piece of flex, and then hardline down the frame. I think thats how the factory did it.

I've also been working on the motor mounts. I set the engine and tranny in so I don't have to move the tranny crossmember, or modify the driveline. Originally I swapped the BB towers from side to side and moved them back about 1 1/2". The position was good, but the angle on them was wrong. I tried leaving them on their original side, but the leg is off the back of the crossmember. So, I cut them in half, and just swapped the down leg from side to side.


I still need to clean them up, paint them and drill lower holes.

And, whats this? Its not on any of my other trucks, and I need to mount my clutch master there.

The three spring looking things are resistors from an old trailer brake set up.

Thanks. I figured it was a resistor, but I wasn't sure what for.

I keep forgetting to take pics, but she's getting close.

-Motor and tranny are in for good
-The fuel system is done except for a new factory sending unit for the gas guage
-I reworked the harness, and its installed except for the PCM mount and I need to hook it into the stock wiring but I gotta put the nose back on first
-I modified the steering column to delete the auto shifter
-New pressure plate and clutch is all in and working

I'll try to get some pics soon.
