Re: Project "Black Cherry" 68 c/10
Thanks guys, I ordered the EFI bed fill Boyd Welding tank for the truck as well, just waiting for it to come in.
Also ordered a new trans cross member from CPP, but am thinking about changing my CPP tubular perches to the ECE ones. Any truth behind me getting a discount on the Doug Thorley headers because I am a member on here? Those are the only headers that will fit my damn CPP tubular mounts. Anyone know where to get a driveshaft in San Antonio with 1350 yolks and cut to length for the 4l60e to 12bolt length?

Re: Project "Black Cherry" 68 c/10
Got an early xmas gift from myself. It's a Boyd Welding EFI Stealth bed fill with an In-Tank Aeromotive Stealth 340 Pump.

Hi Steven, I used a duel electric fan off a 2001 ford windstar and it works great! I have an 86 though...

Re: Project "Black Cherry" 68 c/10
good start!! Those Boyd tanks are a great piece. I picked up a late model blazer tank from my local yard, we will see how that works out for $75. I have used the Doug Thorley headers on my first 6.0/4L80 swap and the only issue is with the trans shifting hookups. That has been 3 yrs now so someone may have came up with a solution but the collector was right at the shifter rod for the 80 and it took some work to get the shifting correct. Good luck

Re: Project "Black Cherry" 68 c/10
A little late to the party here but just for others following this VERY NICE build,, (which BTW is SCHWEET!!!)
![]() RicksTanks makes noce stainless EFI tanks that fits most anything,, will put the right 'in-tank' pump, or a Walbro external pump, and whatever ohm fuel sender you need installed in the kit. I don't remember what he charged for the tank for my El Camino project, but it was a polished stainless specifically for Caminos with the side fill (not top or behind the rear plate like a car) Another nice thing about Ricks,, Slummit sells them and you can get free shipping on a lot of stuff during specials. sorry, not trying to hijack the thread, just adding info and wanted to say NICE BUILD!!!!!!

Re: Project "Black Cherry" 68 c/10
It is a 3 piece cover, I believe its from a 6.0 escalade, I may be wrong. I'm thinking about smoothing it out and painting it. Either that or sell it and get the one piece cover.

Re: Project "Black Cherry" 68 c/10
I would buy a water pump from a '07-up 5.3 application. The outlet is positioned differently to clear the 4 bolt DBW throttle body. If you search, you'll find where some have cut/welded the pump outlet or heated the pump body and turned the outlet.

Re: Project "Black Cherry" 68 c/10
That Camaro pump wont work for me, because of the RnD radiator Im going to purchase has both the upper and lower hose coming out on the same side.
Like Menace's radiator ![]()

Re: Project "Black Cherry" 68 c/10
Hi 1 bad 37, finally someone is doing a vette irs/ drivetrain in a pickup. I have thought for a long time if you wanted the best ride, and lower it a lot (not my style) and have the least modifications to the box floor why not vette irs. It should handle like a dream, and go like heck. Will be keeping an eye on this one, good luck, Brian F.

Re: Project "Black Cherry" 68 c/10
Those Windstar fans look like they fit good. Trucks looking like its getting some good quality parts. I like my Doug Thorley Tri-Y headers on my 5.3. 68C20, as well as the Boyd Welding tank. Needs a better venting system though. Mines a side fill though. Jim

Re: Project "Black Cherry" 68 c/10
Thanks for the feedback guys. I may use Nelson Performance here in Sa to do my wiring harness as long as they arent more expensive then the glorious Speartech Harnesses. I am also most likely going with the RnD radiator and dual fan kit from them. Just saving up some though.
