Re: project " Blue-Ray"
no, the A/C compressor wont be bad at all...probley 30 mins. to R&R it if needed..take a look at kalebs black truck, it is alot less cramped then that...and also with your lift, it'll be super easy

Re: project " Blue-Ray"
Very nice progress! those stainless hoses look super clean! You may have already said, but where do you buy your hardware for the hoses and connectors? Summit racing? You have a parts list put together for a swap like this? thanks

Re: project " Blue-Ray"
With the transmission mounted at an angle like that ,is that the manufactures suggested mount or does it matter? Or does the transmission pump push it thru. on its on anyway? Will the shift indicator be able to show Overdrive for this style motor or will we have to change the shift viewing block out? Or would you just use the 1-2 3 low gear options for the O/D? Looking good though. Can"t wait.

Re: project " Blue-Ray"
few more progress pics to post...
got a adaptor harness (first pic) made for the brake sw./ TCC control.. so its a factory (for 84) brake switch controlling everything, and its a simple plug in deal.. i also mounted, and wired in the OBD2 port, its on the driver side, and is easy to get to, yet inconspicuious..also blasted/painted the stock exhaust manifolds, and installed them...i then had a few friends over to help hang the front clip... it went well, and had it installed/bolted down in about 15 mins...once the clip was installed i put in a new battery perch (hard to see in the dark pic), but looks better then the rusty one it replaced...then determind the best place to mount the fuses/relays for the engine/trans, after going back and forth on either mounting them on the backside of the core support, or on the dr. side fender, i thought that they looked good on the fender and the fact that they are easy to get to made my decision...so i mounted them there....now came to the air intake, its a 4" chrome one that i had to 'tweak' the mount on it so it would mount to the head, rather then the battery box of a newer style truck (like it was designed to do) worked out nicely (only thing i have to do now is paint the bolt that holds it to the head)... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: project " Blue-Ray"
Hey man, what are your plans for the rest of the air intake? I need to build one myself so I was just curious.

![]() yes the radiator will be next, the condenser will be the same, just rotated so the fittings come out on the lower pass side, instead of the uppr driver side... |

Re: project " Blue-Ray"
yea i guess??? i think they are called "molex connectors"?? i am looking for a wire plug or plugs to run all the gauge wires to so that i have "plugs" between the dash harness & the new gauges.
thanks!! p.s. you are a very talented "garage tinkerer" LOL!! |
