Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Yeah Mark, I believe the next time I need a complete rear I will give them the business. Reasonable prices and quality parts for sure.
I don't know Lowers...I need a bunch of updates like this. Winter with no yard work will help....I hope. 99, that spot is right under the radiant heater and is very cozy...zzzz... I was able to pull myself away from the peanuts and cozy spot long enough to throw the now clean Camaro pan on the engine. There is still more work to be done in prepping this engine for paint. Any slick ideas for removing the last of the engines dirt and corrosion? I plan to continue with Dremel, wire wheels, die grinder with rotary brush, simple green cleaner....lotta elbow grease. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
ah man, I don't miss this stage of the engine you are at. Brake cleaner really works wonders. I use the air hose alot too. I also used a rosebud on a propane tank, would heat the block up, seemed to help. Just gotta keep going back and forth with "cleaners/degreasers" then a brake cleaner and heat and air. Then back and forth. Wire brush, flathead screwdriver and a mix of other tools like your dremel will def help. Yours looks like alot of hours already went into it or it was just a pretty decent start. Mine had clumps of grease all over it. I shoulda got a better candidate.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Thanks Lower, Mark and 99. Amazon will have Super Clean here by Friday.
Mark, that engine looks really good! Is that the one that went in the Dodge? 99, you are right, there are several hours invested in the engine cleaning so far. Wouldn't it be nice to start with a clean new piece? Just a friendly reminder for all of us that brake clean can be hazardous when burned. This is worth a read...http://www.brewracingframes.com/safe...sgene-gas.html |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
doug, for sure safety first. I'v read years ago, never clean any metal with brake clean and then weld it.
the wegner stuff looks nice, wish they had a better website. I can't believe the prices these companies charge for LS brackets. I need to get an AC compressor bracket. The custom serp setup on that pic is really nice. Id like to do away with the factory alt bracket but, its just not in the budget.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Hey Guy's as far as the component brackets go you can go with the Allen Grove Components brackets. This is is the same setup I used on Blakes truck.
Pic #1. This is the high mount setup (truck 5.3) new tensioner and belt inc. $240.00 Pic #2. All mounted to the motor,fairly clean setup. Pic #3. The dimensions of the kit Only 17" from center of crank pully. Pic #4. This is the low mount for the (truck 5.3) $175.00 Pic #5. The dimensions are pretty tight to the block providing you have room between the block and your frame this might be a good option. That being said I used the stock alt bracket from the 5.3 and cleaned it up real nice and painted it black to match the engine as well as the new A/C bracket and they disappear. I just bought the high mount for John's 49 Dodge as well for his A/C install. This a cheap alt. to having to spend a boat load on a serp. setup!

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Doug,to answer your question this is the motor that is going in the 38 chevy for troy. It does not have power steering so the pump was removed from the bracket and the bracket will be shaved to make it more streamlined.
Mark...

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Looks like you have a space problem in your Sub, Doug.
The few times I see one overhere they look big. I reccon a LS motor is bigger then an old small block? I like the intake setup, is this a High Rise manifold or stock? Looks good tho!! And I love to come over and stripe your firewall, I'll even do it for free for you!! Unfortunatly I'm short on money to buy tickets... But.....we are thinking about driving a camper through America next year, so who knows what will happen

Worked on the fuel fill today and made a little progress. The fuel fill 90 degree elbow worked really well. Here I made use of a couple feet of 2 inch tubing to determine where hole needs to be. The digital angle finder was pretty handy to make sure the pipe runs uphill from the tank fill. |

And the outer fill pipe is coming through about right here. Now to figure out where it needs to pass through the fender. Hmm...make a pattern of the fender, make a wire form buck of the fender...?...lots of complicated ideas.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Finally thought of a much simpler solution and made a copy of the fuel fill pipe, except with a card board tube for the end.
Install the fender, insert the tube, trimming the card board end of the tube until it just touched the fender. Marked the contact area on the inside of the fender, pulled fender back off, drilled hole with hole saw and reinstalled. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
When your floor and inner wheel well are sprayed with Lizard Skin it's a good idea to chase out the threads before bolting the fender on. Amazingly I did think of doing this before installing the fender.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Great tip to chase threads after Lizard Skin being sprayed on.
I always do this, after paint and powdercoating. I would like the cap more to the fender also but I'm sure you will get that right Fuelpipe itself looks great!! Not much space I see on those old cars
