Your not blind lol. I ordered two 3.5" to 4" neoprene couplers so I can put it in behind the filter. Sorry I forgot to mention it. The red couplers aren't really red either, they are more orange. It's a nice kit for the price.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Thanks Mike. Again, I appreciate you answering all of my exhaust questions. I found a muffler shop here in town that's going to install my exhaust. The guy has done numerous 67-72 trucks and quoted me a great price.
Yes, the MAS is 3.5". So I plan on going from 4" aluminum pipe to MAS to 4" filter. As soon as I recieve my order I will post a pic. I'm glad to help. I read through your build and looks great. You've made a lot of progress in a short amount of time.

Amazon has really grown on me... I found a really nice coolant reservoir from Amazon made out of stainless steel with a sight glass/tube.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
That's a lot cooler than mine. I order almost everything from Amazon or eBay. They have all the big venders on there and it's a one time card entry. I hate typing in my info all the time. I'm even an Amazon prime member. Pretty awesome!

What are you doing for your battery? Sorry if I've missed it through the build.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
I ended building one out of 1/4" aluminum plate and mounting it on the passenger side of the frame behind the cab. I wanted to make sure my +/- cables ran the same side as the starter. I made sure I grounded my cab, core support and engine to the frame. I also ran battery cables up to my engine harness/ECM connection behind my glove box.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Mike, I forgot to mention, make sure you purchase the suggested clamp (moroso part number 63401) because the one that comes with it is really cheesy like the reviews said.
Here's a picture with the pickup hose in it.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Thanks for the info on the tank and hose Mark. I didn't realize until last night I have a battery right in the way of the recovery tank. I may have to come up with another plan.
Great job relocating the battery. I forgot you had done that. |

I ordered the rest of my bed parts so I can send them to my painter and finally put my bed together. I am looking at going with "Birds Eye Maple" for my floor.
