Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
Alright let's start with I'm still waiting this week for A: My fuel injection heat up plug as I don't have fuel injection of a pipe plug that will fit the diagonal hole on my intake so waiting for American Chevrolet to call me back on my part and then B: a motor guy that's worth his word to come start this motor off the right way instead of flaking on me every time.
No I'm not bitter at all ^^ ![]() ![]() So ill update you guys on where were at so far with all that's installed and so detail pictures of my setup since I had none from when I first did my motor four years ago. Prothane polyurethane motor mounts just like the trans mount I have and energy suspension rubbers I have on my sway bar definitely a great product to invest in as I've had the motor and trans for four years and there's no wear on them at all. Keep your ride smooth. ![]() Going to be replacing all my old corroded ground straps with VHCoachworks 67-72 heavy duty 5-piece ground strap kit you can definitely see a difference here.. ![]() I'm runnin my carter on here this round as it was the preferred fuel pump so I made it work with some black aluminum pipe fittings and will run my 3/8ths rubber line from there up to my inline filter before I hit the carb. Also had to trim back some of my 89 suburban serpentine pulley block brackets (great find as they fit wonderfully to any early block and most definitely my vortec block now. So here's a close up of the front of the motor to show of the system (power sterling pump and pulley are in lower right hand corner not pictured here as I left the pump in the engine bay so I wouldn't have to bleed the system. Smog pump on lower left but I don't have to run that ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Oh might as well show that she's in and mated up to her new BFF th350 ![]() Checklist: -radiator with new fluid -fan shroud -empty motor fluids and prime with new fluids -carb -hook up linkages -run all wiring back to original places -replace center bolt valve covers with my adapters and perimeter bolt covers -install stock manifolds for break-in then uninstall -install my new thorley mid lengths with gaskets -install dist. And run plug wires to find TDC for break in process -hook up battery double check wiring -install intake plug -run heater hose And that should be all needed to be ready to fire ![]() ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
Looks like my center to perimeter bolt adapters will work just fine with my stock rocker arms (was worried by them needing narrow width rockers) so I can't wait to try my covers on the new motor this weekend why must I have to work

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
Alright finally some time ill try and sum it up as much as I can to avoid my long detailed BS its just a new motor right?
![]() Anyway our longtime motor guy flaked all weekend so I finally had my coworker help us out Sunday morning with getting the last bit of it all installed and setup. We set the carb on around 9am filled her full of oil and the radiator full of water. Triple checked all intake bolts and plugs and electrical wires. He primed the motor with his special tool to spin in place of the distributor, bumped the motor to TDC, set the dist. To #1. Plugged the plug wires in fave a little shot of gas to the carb and at 11:09 that morning VROOM!! She started up like a dream within a couple pumps from the throttle With a little bit of tinking from the flexplate barely skimming the starter snout and a whole lot of smoke flying from the paint peeling headers she was off to the races for her break in exhaust leaks and all. My coworker said his goodbyes round noon and my dad and I finished buttoning up the linkages and grinding the flexplate a bit so she wouldn't destroy my starter. With all the little stuff we left the shop about 5pm and I sailed on down the freeway. First big difference is the fact that I literally am all the way off the pedal to do 65 and wow does she zing along at the higher speeds no big runs yet just up to 85 and altering speeds to help the motor adjust from all those years of sitting. Ill be taking it easy on her for awhile even though its killin me to find out her true potential and wax my buddies lil 302 mustang in town ![]() ![]() http://youtu.be/PxH-xSXWFx0 http://youtu.be/5cwNxzGIsqI Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
Considering that the flexplate is a balanced piece, shouldn't you be grinding the starter nose instead?

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
Very true we could have went that route as well. Hold onto your safety guidelines everyone this is a doozy.. We proceeded to have the truck running while my dad laid under it and ground a bevel to the teeth of the flexplate so it should have a semi spec tolerance to it oppose to pulling it off completely to do so. Still needs a hair removed though. But it did function quote well afterwards.
