Looking good Keith.
Glad you hear you decided on the two tone. And the LS is now in the mix. ![]() Your right,If you want it now is the time. Keep at it.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Thanks Nate, I try to do work on it whenever I get a chance but it seems to be taking forever.
Quote:
![]() Thanks, it's not perfect but will have to do. The SEM self leveling went down really nice and if it wasn't for some spots of human error, then it would have been perfect. Good thing for me is it can be sanded so I sanded out the imperfections the best I could. Once I got the hang of it, it layed down like glass. Quote:
Thanks Mike, it's not perfect but I honestly don't have the time or patience to try to make it absolutely perfect. Just hope it comes out good enough that only I can see where the flaws are ![]() Quote:

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Keith, check out lt1swap.com too. He has a ton of info and shows how to convert your own factory harness to stand alone. I did that for Sunburn and it worked great. We had the PCM tuned/flashed by someone else for a bit more performance, but for a stock engine he can did a reflash for less then a $100.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Happy New Years everyone, if you read my previous post I haven't worked on the truck for a few weeks now. Just to much stuff to do around the holidays and what time I did have I couldn't stomach doing more blocking

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I have to clean it up and plan on painting it Satin Black but it is perfect with no broken parts.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Thanks Chris, glad to see you back on here. The big block was really an ego thing for me, just popping the hood and seeing that fat rat motor has always made me smile but I decided that I really want a modern motor with fuel injection and the ability to drive it anywhere. I know I could add fuel injection and overdrive to my big block but it would cost me much more in the long run then the LS Swap but would still leave me with a motor that leaks oil, has iron heads and a flat tappet cam and gets less then 10 mpg. Wish I would have made the decision sooner but I'm not looking back now.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I know the truck intakes aren't pretty but they perform a little better on the torque side. I have a truck intake on mine with a engine cover and it doesn't look to horrible lol. You could just forget about the intake all together and bolt a blower on top

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Thanks I figured the truck won't be done anytime soon so I might as well go ahead and do the LS swap.
Thanks Scott I should be getting back on it Sunday Quote:

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Some pics from last Sunday and today. The roof needed more filler work because I had low spots that ran the length of the drip rail above the door. I guess I sanded to much there and had no choice but to fill it.
![]() ![]() Today I spent blocking the dash with 320, man what a huge pain that was. I'll sand it with 600 wet and it will be ready for sealer and paint. ![]() ![]() ![]()
