Don't mean to bring up bad things, but I wanted to see if you ever got the rear suspension configured correctly.

The rest of the build looks awesome buddy; glad to see you back on it.

**67cheby** · 09-19-2013, 01:46 PM

I am going to start running my lines tonight also, nice work

Awesome progress on the engine and chassis. That power plant just keeps greeting cooler. Ready for a test video.

STOCKISH · 09-25-2013, 08:25 AM

Looking killer. What made you decide on spray on bedliner for the chassis instead if paint or powder?

thanks bud !! i like the fact that it has a semigloss finish with a sand like texture , i can touch up everytime i weld or change something and it covers small gaps and imperfections , it goes well with my plans for the truck , no thing shiny in this build , black factory aluminum look , hard to explain locker makes now a lot of black acessories , i got my dipsticks yesterday , i finished the rear brakes today , hate making lines

raull · 09-25-2013, 11:15 PM

made some tabs , drilled two holes through the 4 link brakets and ran the hard lines through it , im happy with the turnout ill take more pix

**Graham57a** · 09-25-2013, 11:46 PM

long day in garage today , got the right converter in so the transmission is all in with a cpp trans member , center support bearing in , gas tank fuel pump and filter , got a box from summit but im still missing a few hose ends and fittings most of the morning went to a pump bracket build , drilled and taped the ends so it can be removable , i also added a few more parts to the engine

Are your headers on upside down. Wondering why? Nice build.

AJohn6 · 09-30-2013, 05:23 AM

raull,

Speaking of exhaust manifolds, what kind are you using here? What are you going to build the rest of your hot side out of?

He's building the engine for twin turbos. That's pretty common in this type of application when the turbos are mounted in the engine compartment.

Nice progress Raull!

Hey Raul in that last picture you only have a 2 bolt flange on the exhaust. You might want to consider changing that to a 4 bolt flange to support the extra weight of the turbo. You could also incorporate the correct flange to just bolt your turbo direct and eliminate a leak point. Just a suggestion. Nice progress. Those manifolds stay nice and tucked in close to the block. Sanitary OE look. Your killing it.

69CST-V · 10-03-2013, 09:08 PM

Ok bud. I know you're on the garage turning wrenches. How 'bout an update. LO
