Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
today i made a cylinder head stand like the one seen in one of the magazines. In all i spent $40 bucks in supplies shopping at a local hardware store, i could have saved more if i got the steel at a steel supply and the hardware at a Big chain store, but i love and support my local hardware store its only 5 min away. This stand is adjustable and allows the head to rotate and lock into any desired position, and its more sturdy than the little legg things that go through bolt hole and sell for up to $100
Tools Welder Bench vise Drill press (or a heavy-duty hand drill) grinder with zip disc or chop saw (or a hacksaw) Grinding and filing tools C-clamps Supplies 6-foot, 14-gauge, 1-inch-square tubing (1.0 x 1.0 x 0.083) 2-foot, 16-gauge, 3/4-inch-square tubing (0.75 x 0.75 x 0.065) 1/8 and 3/8-inch drill bits 3/8-inch bolts and flanged nuts (3/8 x16) 9/16-inch wrench spray paint (optional) Grease and wax remover (optional)

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
These are more expensive and i think inferior.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
I forget what your cams specs are...but I think you'll like the cam that you're going with. My motor is a 6.0L running the L92 heads. I run a Comp LSr cam that's just over .600, but its OK on ptv. It may be since its an LY6 and it has fly cut pistons to clear the valves for VVT (that I took out). Specs are 223/231@ .050 with .610/.617 lift and a 112 LSA.
anyway....this might give you some idea of low-mid range power. if you listen close, it starts to spin the tires in 2nd... just before I pushed it a little harder and it shifted all the way down to 1st. http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/BkpCYMiU6-c

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
Wow sweet vid,.. now thats a rocket ship you got there, seems like a fun ride. Good job on the position of the camera too, great in cab perspective, did you use one of those GoPro cameras?

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
hello Mike, everything is good and im sure glad the holidays are over, but any how im taking a break away from the project meanwhile i save some more funds. All i am waiting on is the stall converter and the taller valve covers to complete the engine build then after its built i will go ahead and start the paint and drop the engine, much easier this way and not have to worry about damaging any of the paint or body.
How is your project coming along?

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
Hey Alex, I saw this over on Garage Forum and thought of your truck! This is on an '81 C 10. Anyway, hope you are doing well.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
Thanks for sharing that looks good, it did cross thrugh my head to incorporate the vette vents but honestly as far as body mods go i am now done with, i dont want to keep back tracking doing more work, i can still incorporate the corvette them in other areas such as like painting the front and rear bumpers or the exhaust exit, interior etc.
