Re: A '54 named Busty
Nice work on the LS swap, and the to do list is getting shorter.

Re: A '54 named Busty
forgetting to block off the brake booster vacuum port on the back of the intake is guaranteed to make a spectacular vacuum leak
soon we shall upgrade to power brakes for now this is just to ensure proper startability |

Re: A '54 named Busty
Progress not perfection!
reluctantly I had to notch the upper radiator frame to move the radiator up a little bit for the upper rad hose to clear the top of the fan |

Re: A '54 named Busty
I think the heat is getting to you, the upper hose shouldnt be plumbed to the oil fill, unless you are steam cleaning the inside.
your random lower hose looks a lot like the one I use on my swaps, same bends. you can ship that intake to me and I PROMISE to forward it on. ![]()

Re: A '54 named Busty
alright then, but how do they fit?
well the passenger side just barely clears the frame, we are talking about 3/16ths of space the driver side has a plenty of room |

Re: A '54 named Busty
this is actually brilliant, now you can use sewer clamps! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() just kidding. my friend greg (not you, another greg) was having trouble installing his manifolds on his 52 and I told him about cutting and welding cast steel, I will show him your progress.

Re: A '54 named Busty
I don't usually do LS Swaps,
but when I do... I prefer for it to be scorching hot! |
