Re: Senior Project Build

The pipe will get hacked further back, before the rearend. I want to reuse as much as the pipe that I have and run it out in front of the tires, but I might just end up trading it to the exhaust shop for a 3 inch x pipe/side exit system. Plus the 3 inch will help my new motor breathe more

Re: Senior Project Build

That would sure be sweet. I should have it running and driving reliably (mostly) by July.

Re: Senior Project Build

Im trying to figure out what intake bolts to use with my GMPP carb intake, and if the L92 heads require a different set of bolts than the 317 heads. I am trying to place an order from sdparts and want to get it all in under one shipping charge. And then I need to find a balancer puller big enough to fit the balancer on this engine. I borrowed one from my schools auto shop but it was too small. I need to find a GM puller or I heard a Chrysler puller works too. Anyone know about the bolts?

Re: Senior Project Build

Have you tried renting a puller from a parts store?

And see what Harbor freight has in the way of pullers.

Re: Senior Project Build

and cstm68 thanks for the compliment, but I don't know if I have passed you- yet I like looking at your build page and think you did a great job on your truck. It would be sweet to meet up with you this summer

Re: Senior Project Build

I called Napa and they don't rent anything, I might have to try a bigger store. I like the idea of checking out Harbor Freight, good idea Texan. I need some more C clamps anyways.....

Re: Senior Project Build

As far as your bolts, you didn't save any from the motor earlier? Or your saying that the bolts you have don't fit the heads?

Re: Senior Project Build

Ok I need help with my fuel cell. Can anyone share their experiences and/or some instructions on how this thing goes in? Do I really have to take off the bed?

The bolts aren't reusable for the heads, they are only good for one torquing, you have to get new ones. I want to know if the L92 heads require a special bolt, different than the 317 or iron heads. And I don't know if I can reuse the stock truck intake bolts for the carb intake

I am pretty sure they are different bolts for the heads.

As for the intake, I ended up using some metric allen head bolts. No, the stock ones didn't fit with my Vic Jr. I am not sure about the GMPP intake, but I would assume you are in the same boat.

Re: Senior Project Build

So where do I find the bolts? At a dealership parts counter? I have been trying to use Scoggin-Dickey because they are priced fairly, but I don't know of they have the right thing.

Re: Senior Project Build

I just went to the local Fastenal dealer, and bought them. I don't know what length you need ( I think mine were 50mm).

Re: Senior Project Build

Thanks guys. I will find the backspacing specs eventually, for anyone who wants to know. I have spent the evening wire-wheeling rust in the channel right above the rocker panel. I will probably end up slipping a little *eek* bondo in there just so water can't come into the cab. I know everyone, me included, hates when people just fill stuff with bondo but I don't see another option for me right now. I don't have the facilities to weld anything, and have no budget for body work. Its all going into the motor and driveline besides its just a few small rust holes

Re: Senior Project Build

Oh and how hard is it to cut holes in the crossmember so I can run exhaust through?

Not hard at all with a plasma cutter. We cut a frame in half in seconds when we re-framed a 71 of my buddy's.

Re: Senior Project Build

Is 3 inches a good size for the holes?

Re: Senior Project Build

You want around 3/8" on all sides for movement. Should be plenty of room if your pipes are 2 1/4" OD.

Most go larger, I guess it depends on your exhaust.
