Coming along nicely Harry

Looks like it won't be long before that first drive down the road. I noticed the lack of a speedo in the pic of the dash....are they not required in NZ? Also where did you purchase that air cleaner? I like those style and I've only found them at OPG for $135 Keep the pics coming....63's are my favorite.

harry · 05-17-2007, 04:46 AM

thanks captain,got sent tacho instead of speedo so i mounted it to see how it looked now i have speedo i will have to change dash so i can insert the tach and speedo next to each other like in the pic which will look better anyway i think.

Volvo_Matt · 05-17-2007, 01:43 PM

Nice work on the big-block installation....how long did that take?

**slepysal** · 05-17-2007, 04:41 PM

Very nice !!! I dig that dash !

harry · 05-19-2007, 04:15 AM

hi volvo matt,the 454 only took an hour or so to put in because it hooked right up where the small block was but has taken a couple of months to do pipes,headers etc.

harry · 06-10-2007, 01:09 AM

well i got the truck running this week and its got a sh*t load more horses than the small block

Cant beat cubic inches!,got my dash sorted as well and i scored a tailgate which will arrive tomorrow

have 295/50R15 tyres on the rear and 275/50R15 on the front now.Next step is power steer box to put on and some more black paint and widen the wheel tubs,will post pics as i go

Harry:

Two thumbs up. Does it cold enough over there in NZ to require a heater? Super job. I like the way things are coming together. Good luck along the way from Overland Park, KS.

harry · 06-10-2007, 03:23 AM

thanks tony,it was -2 celsius this morning and the sun didnt come out all day,winter officially started june 1st so it pays to have a heater. my truck has a heater inside the cab, i just have to run hoses to it to see if it works alright.i believe these typs of heaters are the budget ones.cheers

GREASEMONKEY72 · 06-10-2007, 05:43 AM

thats a nice truck, i like the different color fenders and hood, i think it just adds more to it and the interior is nice to, not to mention that *****in engine
