Re: 1971 c10 stepside
Awesome. So glad he ain't behind the wheel of an import. Looks like a great car. He should be pretty damn proud of that. You should be proud of em both!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
Looks like you traded one silver Camaro for another silver Camaro. Are you sure its his car or are you just letting him borrow it? LOL
Great present. |

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
so a couple of days ago i got the correct mounting brackets for the engine from scott's , i finally got around to it today , half an hour or so and a little bid of muscleing and i got it in , the holley oil pan cleared perfect over the rack and pinion and it also sits an inch or two higher than then the front member , the intake also clears perfect , i'm glad to be able to move on to the next chapter , some pix

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
Very cool! I think the intake system will really fill the engine bay well. Looking forward to seeing this engine roar!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
That does all sit nice and low--looks good! How's the alternator fit? Are you using knock sensors in the valley? I think with that intake it would look cleaner to mount them on the block.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
Raull,
Truck is looking great man and I really like the look of the edelbrock intake. I had a feeling you might have problems with the A/C compressor. At least it is on its own belt so, theoretically, you can place it almost anywhere in that general area and build brackets if needed. -Adam
