If you would hurry up and finish yours, you could take a vacation back to NM and help me finish mine!

Thanks John. I think you'll like the Caddy pan, it is almost level with the bottom of the fram rails. I probably will need a vacation by time I'm done, . I didn't get much this weekend, but played around with my new phone camera....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Rob I just got caught up in your thread and man I tell you the truck with that modern powertrain has got to be a delight to drive it. I know how it is to drive these trucks with a built old chool motor and it gets old after a few hours this is definetly a want to do next for "Sylvester" Get caught up on all your builds so you can help the big guy with my swap.

Tranny mount is welded up and bolted in. So motor and tranny are installed and now I can work on fine tuning everything else, .

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Has anyone tried to rewire & make this pedal fit with an older truck DBW system. If not I guess I'll be the first. I pulled both wiring diagrams & the wires are the same all the way down to the color. The only difference is the corvette pedal goes to the ECM and the truck wires to the TAC module.

Wiring looks the same. Call John a Speartech, I'm sure he'll know the answer.

Thanks! It's a Hart_Rod special............ I took part of a CPP mount and cut the ends off. Then I had some metal bent for the C-channel part because I didn't like the mount just bolting to the bottom of the frame. Then I just welded new tabss on the end of the bar. This made it easier to adjust to fit my application better.

Sorry, I meant the mount its self, not the cross-member.

Gotchya, it's an Energy Suspension poly mount. I took it off of my Turbo 350 before I sold it.

I haven't been updating because of the pic resize issue, but it looks like they have part of that fixed so here's a few pics I made from my camera.

Thanks guys! I'm currently waiting on the wiring harness from Speartech. I have gotten some more little stuff done but I haven't posted any pictures due to the sizing problem on the uploads. When that gets fixed, I'll catch up on pics. I plan on taking it to Cruising the Coast, I just need a few more things to fall into place to make it happen......

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Got the fuel rails from Holley, (nice pieces!) and a FPR from Aeromotive. I still need a few more pieces and I'll be done with the fuel system. I'm also finishing up the A/C lines and mounting the condenser.
