Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
phone pics of the door rework. it wasn't fun and the day i spread the mudd was hot 100's so between layers i was up and sanding in minutes kinda worked out to my advantage. I used evercoat rage extreme and SEM high build rattle can, because the affected area was so small there was no need to mix a large batch and shoot with gun

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
so this is what i came up with to get the lines in the cab. 2 in the frame are the front put in grommets then the 3rd out is the rear. If this dont work out i will do flex lines in this section. for now will try this

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
I started piecing together the brake pedal but I need to finalize, then install the 90° brake pedal assembly before i can plumb the in cab lines.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
so this will be the method i use to wire my TCC Brake switch. Since i will be using the standard 4L60e tranny harness, you only need one wire to tell the PCM when u are stepping on the brake.. blue connector, pin 33.
since i am redoing the brake system from scratch i don't have a brake switch on the pedal i have the pressure activated type on the proportioning valve. I need to run a Standard bosch 5 pin relay. 85 - ground 86 - to brake wiring on car. 30 - to IGN + 12v 87a - to tcc wire/PCM The TCC wire is located on the blue connector pin 33

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
So I dynamated the firewall then I did 1/4 dynaliner. Needed to do this before finalizing the brake set up. What a relief she fits.No issues with clearance. took some phone pics. Will update with better pics.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
I just need to make the lines from cab to the prop. valve. I got a new flaring tool from Ridgid the mastercool is nice but bulky no good for flaring in tight spaces.
Il let u know how I like it, mini review. As for the hose lines from the Hydroboost I will run those on driver side once the engine is in so I know the lengths

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
so i got around cutting and bending the lines to proximity, from the prop valve i did 3 90's at 2" 3" 4". and i only flared one .The ridgid works well it locks the tube firm and does not damage or leave marks. It’s the non ratchet type u stop turning once the flare die meets up with bar, you then remove the die and continue to press in the cone a second time. i managed to flare without a vice but its alot easier with one. i only dynamated the firewall so i could advance on the brakes. i will do the rest later.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
so i finally got around to the gas tank. i ended up using some swagelok compression fittings in the sender and regulator they use a double ferrule system vs the cheaper single. Flex lines out of the tank, from there hard lines. I wont be able to do this until engine is in so i know how long to make them. i used the original tank mounts i just cleaned them up a bit and i also painted the tank shield with some textured paint. I used hose clamp separators at the end i used a longer bolt through the frame to secure it

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
I started this ambitious build back in late 2009 after what seemed an eternity and almost impossible feat i have finally reached the point where i am ready for paint. Shooting it with PPG Jet Stream Blue WA512Q and clearing it with Glasurit 923-200

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
So I installed some sacrificial wheels for the paint proces. I had to remove rotors and calipers to fit these.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
I did the PCV conversion to eliminate hoses from valve cover to cover and back to intake manifold. Straight forward process all u need to do is cut the block flush down to the depth given. I also installed a new oil pan gasket and topped it off with fresh oil and some zinc rich break in additive. I also drilled and tapped harmonic balancer for the billet cover. Prepping last minute engine work so I can drop in once fire wall is painted.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
808_67C10, you are absolutely correct on your comment. This build thread is one of those that I have continuously referred back to over the years, but apparently have never commented on or subscribed to??????? Great work going here..an encyclopedia of tactics, techniques and procedures!!! Hooah! Mike
