Burp... excuse me.

**Captainfab** · 08-22-2009, 12:48 AM

Looks like the engine is about ready to drop back in. Looks real good

**Chevy Fleetside** · 08-22-2009, 10:19 AM

I am hoping to get the truck up to the shop sometime next week and get that firwall painted so I can drp the engine back in and start bolting stuff up.

Your project is coming along very nice. You are going to be very happy with the serpentine system. Great job...

protrash64 · 08-22-2009, 12:03 PM

Thanx for posting your trials and tribulations with this install. I'm hoping to dive into this this winter. Just need to find a decent BBC. Looking really nice.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 01-20-2010, 12:01 PM

You might as well move mine also..

protrash64 · 01-22-2010, 12:10 PM

Subscribing as I have the BBC on the stand.

......searching for exhaust options right now. Updates please!!!

**Chevy Fleetside** · 01-22-2010, 12:34 PM

I have don't nothing. I am waiting to paint the firewall but really don't want to do it in my garage. I could get busted and fined. I don't have a trailer to get it to my shop space and now I don't have a truck to tow it with. I need to get the 66 going so I can tow it up there and spray it.

protrash64 · 01-23-2010, 11:21 AM

The waiting game.......I understand that well enough.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 06-29-2010, 10:58 AM

New update.. Oh there are none. Been working on the other truck. Dying to paint this darn firewall but can't do it in my garage for fear of getting busted and fined...

**scotts62** · 06-29-2010, 11:06 AM

I was like,, busted and fined..? then i say you were from Cali and that explained it all

**Chevy Fleetside** · 06-29-2010, 10:13 PM

When I sprayed the high build primer. My neighbor asked me if I was doing some thing with epoxy. I just looked at him and said "yes"..

**Chevy Fleetside** · 09-12-2010, 08:08 PM

I can't believe this much time has gone by, not much new progress..

Thanks for the offer.. I do have a truck lined up and can just rent a trailer from U Haul. I am just not finding any time to git er done. I am right now trying to get the house in order for my kids b day party. Doing some much needed painting and stuff. After that I can deal with the truck. I am hoping by the end of this month I can bring it up to spray it. His party is Oct 2nd.

66farmer · 01-24-2011, 10:37 AM

I'm installing a big block in my 66 and I have a few questions.
I see that your using tubular engine perchs are they from Brothers if so what motor mounts did you use?
I went to Napa to pick up some but the ones that would fit look a little lite duty.
Hows the truck coming along.
Thanks

**Chevy Fleetside** · 01-24-2011, 10:58 AM

All I have done was set the engine in so I can wire it up. After I am done I am going to try and get the truck up to the shop so I can paint the firewall and put it back together. My 8 yo wants to go for a ride in the truck again. I
I got my mounts from www.truckandcarshop.com . They seem pretty beefy but then again I am not building a high performance truck. Just a crusier.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 02-04-2011, 09:55 PM

I have been mocking up things since I can't paint the firewall yet. I need to run some wires and brake lines, oh and don't forget the fuel line. Here is a preview.

MikeN · 02-07-2011, 06:08 PM

Cool. I dig the serpentine set-up.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 03-16-2011, 10:30 AM

I didn't relize I put the new pictures in here.

**jocko** · 03-16-2011, 10:54 AM

looks great, but I'd paint the firewall... (JUST KIDDING!) What costs more, the U-Haul trailer or the EPA ticket for painting in your garage?

**Chevy Fleetside** · 03-16-2011, 11:15 PM

getting caught would be worse. My garage is a mess and I would probably be slapped with cleaning it out.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 06-18-2011, 12:54 AM

still waiting. We want it done by next summer to cruise Route 66.

66farmer · 06-18-2011, 10:19 AM

Could you tell me where I can get a air filter cover like yours.
Thanks
