what you waiting for put that engine in!

[heeroyue2002]

the girl made me stop for today to watch fireworks.

[67chevy1series]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok.

[heeroyue2002]

todays updates. engine. auto crossmember and tranny are in. bolted in but not fully tightend. i lost the bolts that connect the tranny mount and tranny to the crossmber and some of the bolts to the engine mounts =]

i now need to find a TH400 kick down switch and linkage. i need to check if my automatic starter is still good, i also need to check my steering columns for an automatic one. i'll also need to have the driveshaft shortened a lil bit or replace it.
after that its time to put the doghouse and wiring back together.

i really want to drive it again =) anyone want to buy my BB mounts to help me keep going lol.

[VA72C10]

Good progress! Surprised those mounts haven't sold....but there have been a lot on here recently so I guess the main guys that were looking bought them. Ebay might be a good idea...

[heeroyue2002]

this is why i have alot of trouble =( dirt working space. u can see where the lift got stuck


hmm i may have to get one of those high hump covers with no hole


this bad boy has been sitten for a long time. i had to tap it to get alot of dirt out of it. took it to autozone and it tested good but left alot of dirt in their machine lol

nice work!!!

[heeroyue2002]

oops i didnt add a pix

[heeroyue2002]

yesterday i stripped the old engine completely of anything essential.

i need a new fuel pump gasket. i also need to replace the headers gaskets....but im getting confused when reading all the threads on here about gaskets. dont know which to buy etc =(

[heeroyue2002]

looken in the garage through my columns. think these 2 are automatic. although one may be from a later year or a van?

[heeroyue2002]

no one answered my column q.
ive got a nicer grill to add to my truck. i wanted the year correct linkage but since its getting difficult for me to find it at a lowish price im most likely going after market. ECE has one for about $45 and lokars shipped to my house is $60.
i took a decent tailgate for my 68.
i still have to get my driveline shortend like 4 inches. wonder if i can go one piece instead? the shops charge around $100 to shorten my 2 piece.

[heeroyue2002]

new parts.
also got a grill but i havnt took a pix

[heeroyue2002]

went to turlock swap and met krazyray. also talked to c10king and kevs classics.

i bought a compressor that works really great for dirt cheap and i got the linkage i needed for the truck.

[heeroyue2002]

so i was removing the smoothies and i saw this.

is that spring thing normal?

then this guy snacked on me. i wonder if i was tasty.

[Mt Man Chad]

Black widow's, if bitten will give ya numb spot for life.........

[heeroyue2002]

oh it did bite me. ive been bitten so often by them, think im immune.

[67chevy1series]

lmao "snacked on me"...

[VA72C10]

To answer your question...yes, the spring is supposed to be there on the drum

[heeroyue2002]

Ok. So someone hit a pole or something. The power is out on my block!
Im getting close to working some more on my truck, sweet
