the mufflers are moroso spiral flows they sound good on LS engines, but IMO they dont sound to great on carbed engines....

i placed the drain hidden under the cab support that the inner fender bolts to...and the water rolls off the inner fender.... also remember that the drain needs to be located about 1" lower then then units lowest point...

rodstored-72 · 09-27-2007, 08:49 PM

thanks for the answer. i guess you ran it thru a grommet? i am going to try about the same thing.... maybe further out toward the side?? what do you think???
thanks again for the reply.

This truely is a Killer build for a Killer truck. The name def. matches the truck. I wanna eventually put a 6.0L Silverado SS engine in my 68. What were you saying about ALLDATA.com 68ss? i went there, but what do you buy to get all the info and how much does it cost? if you dont mind. thanks, phil

entered killer in a car show and he won 2nd, here are the pics of the truck and the judges...

BigTex · 10-07-2007, 12:14 PM

Very nice!

Just out of curiosity, whats with the different wheel / tire combo front and back? Is that just a perception issue?

no, thats just what i had mounted on my wheels, i agree they need to be smaller, but the show was gonna happen with or without me so i used what i had..

killer71 · 10-07-2007, 05:21 PM

the fooses really give killer class...thanks for sharing the picts. did you guys enjoy the show?

68 short step · 10-07-2007, 06:22 PM

yes the show was fun and i enjoyed it...

DavesRide · 10-07-2007, 10:27 PM

Hey Killer, GREAT photos from show. One of my bud's has a natural 5.3 2000 C truck with a little Lingenfelter program and Whipplecharger that walks away from all GT stangs and most Vette's excluding the Z06. GO BRO GO. Well maybe "waller" out the intake and exhaust ports a little.

rodstored-72 · 10-10-2007, 11:00 PM

68 short,
congrats!!! on the car show. i am trying to catch up to you (slowly). i am going to go to the good guys show out here in nov. i am getting my ac system charged right now & should be ready to pick up by friday.... hopefully. i am trying to (make) get a glovebox together for it & i am wondering what you did or used for your glove box?? any ideas or help from you would be greatly appreciated!!!

thanks!

So how does yours run? I wondered how well a 5.3 would move one of these old trucks. I am very very happy with my ls1 and 4l60e, turning 1700rpm is nice with 3:73's running 60mph.

you'll have to ask 68 shortstep...i haven't even seen killer for a few months except just how your seeing him....hopefully that's all about to change!

jkade · 10-11-2007, 10:15 AM

Dang I would be going nuts.

Frizzle Fry · 10-11-2007, 11:10 AM

That thing turned out so nice!

killer71 · 10-11-2007, 12:42 PM

Thanks Frizzle, I'm sure 68ss would say the same!

it runs great... it'll relly start to pull around 3000, like all theses LS engines do, we still have more left in the tune so it should be even better here shortly..

68 short step · 10-13-2007, 09:56 AM
