I hear ya. Little 6 runs like a top. But i do have an all aluminum LS i been gathering parts for. Just got heads back today. Miss that old school chop i grew up with. As soon as i got it built this old girl will up for sale and go down the road to a needy engine bay.

You have it looking good. Any problems with the 5.5-7 drop as far as turning radius/scrubbing?

Not 1 rub yet. Stock 3 nubs and i did put 1.5” spacer on all the way around for the time being as i have the drum 3 nub wheels. Took out to dinner with 3 of us in the cab and 3 dogs. Still no rubs

Got me a remote battery box for a 34/78 optima redtop battery and a battery of course . Got plans to mount on outside passenger frame rail under bed. Also waiting for a derale remote transmission oil cooler with electric fan. Wanna put them both on the passenger side out of the way. Just another step at cleaning up the engine compartment. After this gets done and i can afford it im planning on a boyds tank with aeromotive 340.

So things are progressing quite fast on my LS engine that will go in when i have all the parts to make it a runner. I dont want alot of down time in between.

[oneshotkyle]

Question for you guys on the inline 250. Whats it worth to sell. Be honest with me. I am on the edge of listing it very soon as is. As a complete runner so someone can run and drive it before sale. This is my best description:

Lots of small things going on. Got almost all the LS goodies and starting to paint now

[raggedjim]

I like the ls's that are painted old school orange. Nice work, Rg

[oneshotkyle]

Got this far and waiting for power steering pump and serpentine. Should be here tomorrow. Just need intake and fuel tank for rear. Plus plenty of small parts still im sure. I feel like Johny Cash “1 PIECE AT A TIME” haha

Looks nice. For reference on the frame rail mounted battery…:you said you already have one but GM made a nice option too if yours doesn’t pan out - I love mine. GM 20970916

Todays tasks

[oneshotkyle]

Getting battery mounted and leads made today. Also got headers in. Lil side boob shot

[oneshotkyle]

Originally i was just gonna run this LS with my th350 trans. But as time continued i decided to bite the bullet and ordered up a 4l80e. Buy once cry once kinda. Haha. Should be built by end of july and im gathering all the little crap to install. Wire harness, dipstick, stall converter, slip yoke etc…..

[oneshotkyle]

While im waiting for the 4l80e, i bough a FTI 3600 billet converter, holley pwm alt harness, holley trans harness and the correct flexplate. Tomorrow hopefully i will be pulling out this cherry inline 250 for a buyer.

Anyone recommend a oem style 4l80 dipstick and tube? Dont want the flex ones. Thanks for lookin

[oneshotkyle]

Ordered a boyd tank today. Cant wait to hear some chop chop

[oneshotkyle]

Took off rront clip. Gonna get the ends of frame all cleaned up and get a pile of small parts for powdercoat.

[oneshotkyle]

Things are going slow waiting for me. Waiting for parts, specifically the trans. That way i can install engine and get to plumbing and wiring. I did manage to get my chevy volt radiator fans mounted today tho. Nothing special but progress. Havent got much done with the temps around here lately😞

[54blackhornet]

Incredible work man….

[oneshotkyle]

Started plugging away at wiring harness from fuse block to headlights. I have removed the firewall plug and will be routing my wiring out side by vent and up under fender continuing in through core support for a cleaner look. Gotta weld up square hole still. Then got sidetracked when usps showed up with my hydroboost mounting plate. It fits nice and flush to firewall just need to mod the rod with a clevis or heim to get perfect.

[oneshotkyle]

And i got gauge panel cleaned up and repainted with holley 3.5” dash mounted for now. Until i can afford the reversion raceworks or fesler dash with 12.3 holley prodash

[oneshotkyle]

3 turn gearbox in and everything lined up perfect. Even the steering wheel. Yahoo
