I know your moving forward and will be better but it makes me a little sad not seeing that side-winder in there.

It was bittersweet. I hated "downing" my only running truck, but everything fell into place when I sold all the old parts. I know I will be much happier with it once I get it back together.

Painful, BUT, sometimes you have to back up to go forward...I know you know a little about this....

I can understand that. I'm dreading bringing the suburban down for the 6.2 swap. Especially since it is my daily driver. I'm trying to make sure I have everything ready to go when I pull the tired big block out.

From what I've read, it sounds like you're doing your homework,

. Can't wait to see you back on the road.

I am leaning toward their setup. Please post pictures!

heres some shots of my junkyard motor cleaned up. 5.3 iron block, takeoff ls2 intake and rails, and some valve covers and coil relocators. paint and cleaner goes along way. the holley brackets are user friendly and super clean. they look the way gm should have done it. i reused the alt. bought a ps pump and the vintage air 508 bolted right in. this thing started out as a high intake truck motor.

??? the bracket kits are the same for all 5 water pumps or the 3 different offsets. there are a 1,2,or3 spacer kits depending on your set up. i would call there tech dept. they were super helpful when i called.

**Hart_Rod** · 03-12-2013, 10:30 PM

Still pulling parts off and cleaning stuff up!! I pulled the inner and outer heater box off today. I found some nice shiny gold paint underneath. I wish I could figure out a way to get the spray on black paint off without messing up the gold paint underneath. I tried some acetone, but that didn't work to well. If I can't figure it out, I'll just shoot some more black semi-gloss on it. I also mounted the new Dakota digital gauges. I think they are going to fit right in with the mostly stock interior.....

color sand it off with 1500 grit wet and a 3M pad.......it works wonders....but you gotta be patient....1500 removes material so slow!

Obviously for adjustment, but what problem did you have that made this necessary? Just curious.

No major reason other than I had it laying around,

. I do like the ability to be able to adjust the wheels in the wheel opening and the ability to change the pinion angle. Also, it will match all the other tubular stuff I installed a while back...

I sold it about 4 months ago and the new owner has been patiently waiting for me to pull it....

I played around with it and I'm pretty sure I'm just going to reshoot in in semi-gloss black,

Thanks Ernie. I'm taking my time and doing a lot of planning so hopefully it will go back together as nice as it was before I tore it apart...

Thanks. It connects to an output wire out of the computer.

Did you try laquer thinner on the firewall? I've had luck removing unwanted paint myself with it.

Do you think it will hurt the original paint underneath?
