My new build thread: Stage 4!

Hei should fit without any mods. It is tight, but does fit.

[swyfor5]

No, I think I NEED more room for flexing.

Had one in mine, with about 3/4" of space. Flexing should be sise to side. Or the one w/o the coil in the cap likeSwamprat said

[swyfor5]

Ok, thank's swamprat! Looking into the Mallory unilite setup. Kind of pricey, about $275.00 from Summit or Jegs, but way smaller, and should fit with no issues! Anybody else running this, and are there any other mods to install one? Sure beats moving the whole drivetrain forward to make room. Ran it by the BOSS (wife) tonight, and she gave me the go ahead!

This is what i'm running, its been trouble free (edit: since 1996), make sure to follow instructions regarding the ballast resister if your truck has one.

I found out the hard way as i had a larger diameter hei and had my stuff all set, pulled the dizzy to install the engine and found i couldn't even drop it in place after the install, it was my only solution unless i used the stocker. Good Luck.

Not sure quite yet, but I think I might have a plan for this Chevelle. It is not something I want to tackle as a resto, but my friend John might want it as a toy race car project. Say's he want's to make it into a street legallish old school race car. Roll cage, tubbed out, etc. But still look like old school on the beat up outside. I am thinking of swapping it to him for labor hours on the K5 in the future! On the plus side, he said I can keep all the interior stuff, seats and etc, that I can sell to recoupe my initial investment. Sounds like more progress money for the K5!

[ColoradoK5]

Man great find and rescue on the Chevelle I love them cars! sounds like your friend and you will make out on that deal. K5 $$ is always better than spending it on another project ive learned one at a time.

[swyfor5]

Right on Coloradok5! K5 to stay alive! Kind of struck a deal with John today on the Chevelle, just got to focus on this K5 project, right?

[swyfor5]

No progress on my K5, still waiting for the cnc frame plates for the front. Should be here Monday. Off topic, I did get the chevell/malibu interior parts cleaned up and organized. Anybody need any resto parts for a chevelle, or have a buddy that is restoring one? I have these and do not need them, and I do not want them to go to waste. Here's some pic's of the parts, and a







couple of my only boy's helping out !

[swyfor5]

Rest of the pic's!

[turp mcspray]

How much for the hound, and can he be squeezed into a flat rate box?

[swyfor5]

Yeah, He will not sit still long enough to be boxed! He is worth a lot of money as a stud, but we are so busy these day's, not much time to do breeding. He say's he is ready! Found some extra parts tonight, have to do some research, and will post them up for sale soon.

[turp mcspray]

Huh...my wife never seems to have any time for breeding either. LOL!

[LONGHAIR]

Unless these parts are going to be given away for free, there are a few problems.
First, this is not the classified area.
Second, you must post prices for each item.

Please correct this and maybe re-read the rules concerning buying and selling.

[swyfor5]

Sorry, did not mean to break any rules. Just put up some pic's of what I have been up to. I'll be a good boy and pay more attention to what I post up, thank's, Bryan.

[swyfor5]

Oh, as for the chevelle parts,they are just going into my parts stash. Hope that fixes my mistakes, sorry for any troubles.

[swyfor5]

We got the new frame to front bumper plates today! Look real nice, just a little custom grinding to make them fit right before welding in. John said he is going to work on it most of the day tommorrow. Got a couple of pic's tonight, hope to have more progress and pic's of the K5 project tommorrow night!

[hgs_notes]

Bumper looks great. Should withstand just about any normal abuse you throw at it.

[swyfor5]

Thank's hgs, made some progress today! The front bumper is ready to go to the other shop up the road and get blasted and painted. Man, long road with this bumper, and it's almost home!

[swyfor5]

Some pic's!

[swyfor5]

Mud Bog yesterday, John's jeep!

[VA72C10]

Looks good, and looks like fun!

[swyfor5]

Thank's VA! Checked in at the shop today. John said bumper has been blasted, primered, and has fresh paint on it! Awesome! Can't wait to see it mounted up with the winch installed!
