Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Bob, what did you use to make such precise cuts in the sheetmetal?

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
I made the cuts with a plasma cutter, then cleaned them up with a flapper wheel. I bent the side piece in the vice to fit the curve in the pedal.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
NO!!!
The kids and I are on our way to Wellington for a test run and gas. I'm a little concerned about the cooling system, but I'll keep my eye on it. The lower rad hose wasn't getting very hot at the water neck, even though the heater hoses were blazing hot, and they are right behind the rad hose. But the truck's gauge (sending unit on the pass head) reads just under 200*, and the computer reads 195* (sending unit on drivers head). So I'll just watch it closely. Here we go!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
It runs awesome!!!! I am still a little concerned about how blazing hot the heater hoses and upper rad hose is, but both the truck's temp gauge and the PCM read right at 195* while driving, and barely over 200 while sitting at a light.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Did they reset the temp settings for the engine? I know my 03 6.0 runs pretty much right under 210.
Glad to hear she runs good man. |

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Update from the road
Running awesome still, I think the PCM is learning everything as is feels better each time I start and drive it. 75 miles and the gas gauge finally moved a little. Only problem is the gas pedal position. It's waaaay too high! I'll pull if off tomorrow morning and tweak it down about 3", that should put it about 1/4" off the floor at WOT.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
That thought crossed my mind when I looked at the pics of it. But I thought, "Bob has it all under control. I'm sure he test fit it." How are the hoses feeling? Glad to hear its running better. I guess if we ever road trip all the CO trucks it will be like 3 gas stations for all of us and 1 for you. Way to go man!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
It felt fine just hopinh in and trying. But after driving it for a while.......
The hoses feel the same, but won't go over 195 while driving. I grabbed the infared from work but haven't used it yet.

Thanks dude, you're next! Thanks! Feels much better now that I have it adjusted better. Quote:
What is PEP? Is that pep, like spunk? LOL! I have rung him out good a couple times so far. For still having the 2.73 rear, it still gets up and hauls! Can't wait to get a 3.42 rear in there!! I'm not sure what Jesse did with the upper limit. Quote:
OEM, I think 187*. The check engine light is still on, but it's for the rear O2 sensors, which I don't have. So Jesse must not have deleted them. So some day when snow is in the forecast for a week or so I will send the PCM back to him so he can fix that. And I'll see if he can firm up the shifts too. Otherwise I'm not going do worry about it too much. Well, I pulled Fred in the shop to pull the original engine on 8-29, and less than a month later he has a new heart. Somewhere along the way I decided on a lofty goal to be done in time for our Colorado cruise that is on the 27th, tomorrow. I still can't believe we will be going tomorrow! If anyone reading this has been on the fence about doing it, or even debating doing ANYTHING to your ride, plan it out thoroughly, find out what worked and what didn't work for others and make your plan based on that, and set a budget. It CAN be done! I'm no one special, I'm just not afraid to jump in and get both feet wet. That's how I get my thrills! Next week I'm going to gather up all the notes I made as I went, along with all the stuff in my notebook, and start working on getting a how-to put together. It won't be done quickly, but it will get done. I'm hoping to have all the part numbers that are important to this swap, along with alternate things like engine mounts, trans mounts, exhaust, etc. Time to relax!!!!!!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"

Yeah, I'll just let him know that i want the 1-2 and 2-3 firmed up. And I will probably put in the Vette servos in the tranny, that helps a bunch too. I need to wait until I get the new rear end, then budget tires. Then I will absolutely destroy these! Thanks Joe!!! Tomorrow will be fun fo-sho!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
So i know you are working on a build guide (which I want an autographed copy) but I have 2 questions.
What all did you end up needing from the donor truck? I only ask because I am trying to get a couple of quotes from salvage yards via email. Where did you get those cool cupholders from on the 68? -Dane |
