Re: My 57 Pro Street
Kim,
I gotta say this is one of the slickest builds on the forum. You are a metal magician. I've gotten a lot of ideas from your build

Re: My 57 Pro Street
A little up date.
I needed to make my trans hump so here's what I did. I made a frame out of some round stock and then made some templates out of heavy card stock. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
A little welding, bending and grinding and I have something that will be hidden by a center console and carpet.
I'm waiting on some headers to see if they're going to fit before I get the cab back off to finish up the firewall. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
you can never have too many circuits in your truck
by the time you add all the options they will disappear fast. my preference is to run the fan directly off the battery and only use the fan circuit to feed the relays for the fans. i have a distribution block in my console, heavy cable from battery to the dist block. panel feed, stereo amps (fused at block), fan (30a breaker), vintage air (30a breaker) and my motor feed (ram jet harness 50a maxi fuse) all run off the distribution block

Re: My 57 Pro Street
You could always de-pin the circuits you don't need. I took out my extras very carefully at the rear of the block and stored them in baggies for later use if I ever need them. It really cleans up under the dash not having the extras in the way. You'll find that there are a BUNCH of circuits you won't use because of the LSx harness.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Just when I think I'm doing something miraculous by filling a few holes in my firewall, I see your build and immediately Wowed! Your work is incredible! ; )
Ps- I'm going to check into that wiring kit that you bought! I'm not ready for it, but have to keep my credit card ready for things that I'll need! Dne' Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
A little up date.
Got my headers in. Two different sets #1= 1-3/4' primaries with a 3" collector. #2= 1-5/8" primaries with a 2-1/2" collector. Had to go with #1 because #2 would interfere with the brake pedal even though #2 cleared better on the passenger side. Was probably going to use them anyway because of the larger primaries. Everything I've seen on the LS engines shows they like them. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
As you can see in the previous post #1 fit really well on the passenger side. It looked the same on the drivers side until I put my brake pedal on. The collector dumped right where the pedal comes out of the firewall.
#2 fits just fine on the drivers side but gets a little close to the frame on passenger side. It sticks out a little further to clear the starter. A little work on the frame will cure that problem. The last pic is the bracket to raise my AC pump up. Kim |

They're Sanderson headers. Just under $500 coated. They make a few different sets for the LS engines. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Sounds good for what you have. I like how tight it tucks with the space limitations. Makes it look clean

Re: My 57 Pro Street
I sent the headers out to get ceramic coated after I cleaned the welding slag up a little.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Just a small update.
Got the headers back from being ceramic coated. They even got the stuff inside the primaries and collectors. Got the frame notched to clear the passenger header. Will be welding in a piece of schedule 40 pipe to finish it off. Also got the fire wall set back all welded in and ground down. Now I'm trying to find a seating arrangement that I can live with that wont cost a fortune. Kim |
