Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Wow! Heart Rod, you were the person who told me about this site. Crazy we're both in the same state. Is that suburban the one you had in the back of KAFB Auto Hobby? Nice job Frmula! Looks like I've been taking way to long on this project. All that's left is posi in the back and paint on the truck. I'm undecided if I should leave the Apache hood on the truck or put the original one back on with the 64 grill .

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Well I decided to buy new doors and inner fenders. I haven't skimped yet on this thing why start now. The only thing left to buy are the bumpers, new correctly spaced steel rims and maybe a ford 8.8 for the rear with limited slip and disk brakes. Should be finished by the end of this year I hope. Paint and all.

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Yup Rx7 is just about 100%. I have to work out a vibe at speed.. which I think is a rear wheel bearing or the diff.. either way, I have both as replacements. Then a speedo install.. It's already registered and insured. So that for a while will become the daily driver and the truck (Penny) will come off the road for the final bit of work. Even with the vibe, mustangs just don't have a chance with that cars power of the LS1, T-56 gearing and diff at 4.10 and the weight of 3000lbs with me in it. It screams. I'm happy it has good brakes.

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Cool truck!
So you live in Mary Esther and from the sticker on your back window, you work on the Osprey? If so, PM me. I need to see if you know an old roommate of mine from my USAF days. He lives in Mary Esther and works on the V-22 program.

this first picture shows the difference in the 91 burb engine mounting brackets, (the same as a 87 pickup) http://kieth.smugmug.com/Trucks/66-G...03189305_KyUKk This shows how we notched the frame and drilled other holes in the burb front donor crossmember to make the engine sit 1.5" farther forward, and 3/4" lower---clearances were fine and everything cleared the firewall. http://kieth.smugmug.com/Trucks/66-G...03189432_aLzkW Just click on next whre it says 97 of 416 to see the progression of the motor mounts. Here is a shot of the cab on the chasis----the engine, the distributor, the cruise control------everything cleared just fine. http://kieth.smugmug.com/Trucks/66-G...49354417_Z7puY Oh forgot, here is a shot of the crossmember for the 700r4: http://kieth.smugmug.com/Trucks/66-G...53807236_gi9yc |

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Well, heading home soon from the desert.
Plans - Order Moser Ford 9" 35 spline axles with wave loc posi Install rear fuel tank Remove old 350 and install 454. Paint engine bay prior to install then after paint truck. Finish truck. The Rx7 in my daily driver now. I need to do a diff swap though to an IRS 8.8 so it can keep up with the LS. After I get the truck finished, I'll do a light rebuild on the LS to ensure good rings, bearings etc. For now I'm focousing on the truck.. not much left. Alex |

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
The 454 has to come apart though so I can add all the parts from summit to it.. like the cam.. new rod bolts and verify the tolerances on the bearings.

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
Those valve covers will hit the firewwll if you install the engine in the original location. I have those same valve covers on the 454 in my Suburban, but I moved the engine forward 2", and they clear the firewall by about 1/4" on the passenger side.

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
My question is then...
What about clutch linkage (z-bar etc.) and bell housing mounting? Or are most people converting to a blow proof bell housing? Capt. Fab, thanks for the heads up on that. Alex Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)
A big block with a manual trans in one of these trucks is going to be a challenge making a mechanical clutch linkage. It can likely be done, but if it were me, I would convert to a hydraulic clutch.
