Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Got him split back apart. I’m going to get all the plumbing in place on the chassis, ie: brake, fuel & air lines. I also decided that the current trans crossmember was NOT going to work with the chevelle headers and the PorterBuilt dropmembers. So, I got an eBay special and it appears to be exactly what I needed to keep the exhaust tucked up tight.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
No pictures but I got the high pressure fuel filter mounted. The lines to and from the Boyd EFI tank are made. The rear brake line is mostly made and the new transmission crossmember is finalized. Then I’ll get the airlines run. I’ll have to pull the motor and trans to get the front brake lines built. Then full disassembly and paint of the frame followed by final reassembly of the rolling chassis.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Trans x-member looks decent. Source details?

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Scoti, the eBay item # is 184197152581. It’s listed as a 73 up application, but it fits fine, width wise. I just had to drill four holes as the bbc & 700r4 with the PorterBuilt dropmember didn’t line up with the oe holes.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Thanks for the info. I have a couple of the PB trans x-members in a corner as I've used different options that I felt were more robust.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
I keep looking at this project and thinking that I’m kinda uncomfortable with it. I really believe I’m going to sell the entire rolling PorterBuilt chassis minus this built rearend & brakes (and motor, trans & fuel system of course). Then just build Walter as a static drop with EFI big block, overdrive and big brakes. I really am to damn old for all this airride, fancy suspension stuff. I just wanna drive Walter.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
My thoughts precisely. It had been sitting since 2009. 1994 2 years before that. Empty the gas tank, new gas and a battery...drove it on & off the trailer.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Okay, I have been terrible at staying focused on Walter! I have finally split him back apart and started on brake, fuel and trans cooler lines. The trans cooler setup is done, the rear brake hard line is run from the crossmember to the firewall location and the fuel lines & filter are run up to the motor, but not finalized as I used the Holley Sniper setup on my 63-1/2 Falcon
![]() Maybe, just maybe, I will stay focused this time. Sucks not having help or more motivation ![]() Last edited by nlped; 03-17-2021 at 04:56 PM. |

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
It seems like all car guys have the focus problem when they have several projects. Some times it's good to take a break from the project and then go back as long as it isn't too long!!!!

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Almost sold Walter and all his related parts for a fair’ish price. But, I realized very quickly that I’d never be able to replace him, much less build one like I’ll have when I finish this build. Walter is staying home!!! (Unless somebody offers better money...).

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
I hope Walt couldn't hear you talk about selling him!

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Understand the motivation and distractions
![]() ![]() I started to think about selling my truck over the last month for something completely different. Took the truck to dinner 2x this past week and now I'm logged back in ready to dive into it again. Now I need motivation to stay on it. Love the BMW btw.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
I have actually been working on Walter some lately. I took the motor to a friends place and put it on the engine dyno. It made 524hp/558tq with the complete Sniper EFI setup. Horsepower was over 400 by 2500 rpm & the torque was over 500ft/lbs from 2100 rpm to redline. It’s should do just fine in an ole truck. 😬

That should be wicked! Probably sounds great too.
