1968 C-10 lsx conversion - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

shifty · 09-29-2006, 12:52 PM

ah, ok, Texas Spped and Performance is the same as S&P?

I bought some custom 3" .... "downpipes" i guess you could call them. Got them night before last on ls1tech for $32 shipped or something near that. I'm using them as deletes for my catalytic converters. Should be easier to fab up some exhaust using these guys also. I'll run with the stock 98-00 headers until i manage to find something port-tuned that will fit properly.

I'm still amazed at how well the 98-00 stock headers fit! Nice to know the aftermarket ones fit also.

Got any pics?

oscareltemblo · 09-29-2006, 10:36 PM

No pics yet the headers are still on back order I can't wait to see what happens I don't think they are going to fit. It's at the shop www.w2wpowertrain.com but I have a few pics of the truck itself www.myspace.com/eltemblo

Hey so you wouldn't recommend those tubular engine towers? are the ECE better because I only heve the plates from classic performance http://www.classicperform.com/Store/...cks/CPLS1K.htm and I used the stock engine frame towers.

no, i WOULD recomend them they fit great, and with those plates it should bolt right together... and they look cool too

oscareltemblo · 10-02-2006, 07:26 PM

Oh ok I think I'll have to get them if the headers from s&p don't fit oh btw they are still on back order since a month ago that I ordered them.

oscareltemblo · 11-09-2006, 02:08 AM

Well I have my new headers and motor mounts the headers are the ones from s&p and also the motor plates " they convinced me in buying theirs they said that they are thicker and they really are anyway I got the motor towers from "performance online" here is a pic finally I will finish the install......

oscareltemblo · 11-09-2006, 02:12 AM

Here they are

my67C10 · 11-09-2006, 02:55 AM

if you ever incounter this agian you should put about a quarter of a cup of automatic tranny fluid in each cylinder and let it sit for about 2 or three days, that should break the engine loose. if not than the engine is probably no good.

my67C10 · 11-09-2006, 02:55 AM

i hope to see some pics after its all finished up.

Pic of filter with built-in return line.

I have a question which of the two is the return and which one is the inlet I know that the single one is outlet???

shifty · 06-04-2007, 11:20 PM

on the two-outlet end:

small one is return (back to tank)
large one is supply (from tank to filter)

female side (single outlet end) is for the line to the fuel rail.

please, please, please read my build thread:

http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=188

That post should be more than adequate help

in fact, i highly recommend anyone to read that single post, it is my entire fuel system and all information anyone could ever need on how to work out what you're doing, with pictures.

oscareltemblo · 06-05-2007, 04:45 PM

Cool thanks shifty.

Fastrucken · 06-10-2007, 01:40 AM

I hate to tell you this now but hopefully this helps anyone that runs across this thread,

that filter can be had for 30.00 plus shipping (which is cheap) at https://www.rockauto.com/

Its p/n is wix 33737

I even think someone around this board if im not mistaken works there and can give like a 5 or 10% discount too.

Sorry im late on this.

[QUOTE=shifty;2218465]i'm really curious to see how those fit! who made them, and how much did they set you back?

They are from Street & performance theywere almost $600 I still needed to grind some of the tower mounts and re-inforce it from the bottom because it's not as thick but they fit great other than that and they are very well made no rough edges anywere....

LOW DOUGH · 07-13-2007, 05:15 PM

That's a good lookin truck

Texas Speed is different from S&P. Check LS1tech, they are a sponsor and there is a link on the right.

pcmcobra · 07-13-2007, 09:11 PM

I would love to see pics of those headers installed. Have heard s&p had them, but have not yet seen them installed. Hope they have the clearance.

oscareltemblo · 07-14-2007, 02:52 AM
