SanitysBane · 07-08-2004, 12:36 AM

the black wrinkle valve covers are the old ones, as well as the stamp steel ones, as i said, i went a little crazy with the pictures, just showing u some modes that i've done, i've got a few of the sending unit converstion, hope i didn't upset any one.

apstguy · 07-08-2004, 02:03 AM

Now THAT'S an engine. Vroooom!

Russell · 07-08-2004, 02:29 AM

nice

Rough ride without the box eh? I drove my truck like that for a couple months :P

gldevall · 07-08-2004, 10:12 AM

Yeah but w/o the box you can really fry the tires.

SanitysBane · 07-08-2004, 11:07 AM

yes i can, i took the bed off a while back so that i could convert to 1 20 gallon tank from 2 16s, but on top of that i am using the sending unit off of an 88 chev truck, so we had to shorten it up 1 1/2 inches, plus im also using the lines off that truck, time to brake out the tubing bender!

SanitysBane · 07-08-2004, 11:08 AM

oh and gary, i can really fry the tires with the bed on too. what does this "traction" word mean?

chevythunder · 07-08-2004, 11:41 AM

i can defently vow to that .

Beyond · 07-08-2004, 11:54 AM

Look's good... What brand of headers do you have on it? Do they fit good? I see you've got the serpentine belt setup w/AC did it come out that way? No smog pump right?

SanitysBane · 07-08-2004, 11:57 AM

all righty beyond, headers-summit, fit great, came with bolts, gaskets, and reducers(not used), and the serpentine belt setup with AC as you can tell was not an option back in 83. it is off of my brothers 1988 chevrolet truck, all that is for a 3/4 ton FLEET truck with a 454 and no smog pump. works great, and no more adjusting V-belts all the time.

78ChevySilverado · 07-08-2004, 11:58 AM

You know what would look good on your truck? My doors. :p

SanitysBane · 07-08-2004, 11:59 AM

lol, yes they would.

8t5Silverado · 07-08-2004, 12:16 PM

Got any pics of the body with the bed on?

You've got the same paint scheme as my truck.

Chevythunder-I see you have a WRX too, that makes at least 3 of us on here

Beyond · 07-08-2004, 02:32 PM

I'll have to keep an eye out for a pulley setup like that. Mine's a cross between Serp and V-Belt but I want to ditch the smog pump and use that style of compressor mounted on the pass side. That would shorten my AC hoses up a bunch on mine (need to replace compressor and hoses anyway) and I could run taller valve covers. I've got a nice set of cast aluminum ones I'd like to put on mine but they're too tall with the compressor where it's at.

SanitysBane · 07-08-2004, 03:19 PM

no i don't have any pics with the bed on, and u can go to your local chevy dealer to get that belt set up, the pasinger side braket does have the provisions for the smog pump, but i just didn't use it.
