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.

Yes Doug I wish you would figure out what accessory drive we need to run...I'm just about to mount my front fenders to see what trimming I need to do for the steering linkage.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
There is chlorinated and non-chlorinated brake clean. Use the non-chlorinated stuff if your going to do any welding. It's the only kind I use and make sure it is dry. The Wegner web sight is being re done

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
What would really help the under hood looks department would be if Kees could work his artistry on this big blank firewall. Don't know if you've seen his work...he is very talented. Anyway, it would be freaking awesome if he did.
Burb was just sitting in the shop tonight waiting on me to show up. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Doug
That intake is going to look great in your suburban. it will soak up some of the excess engine bay head space that the AD's have. It looks good seeing it on the ground. In need to barrow the (front) 20's off of my 48 to check fitment up front. Keep at it. Don't loose sight of your 2nd place trophy. Marc

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Doug...answer to ? #1 The paint I used was all rattle bomb first was shot with Epoxy primer and then it was topped off with High Heat Ceramic paint for the block. The Intake was Shop line Satin black I had here at the shop.
Answer ? #2. The alternator was a factory unit That I shot with the same paint as the Intake. 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 ![]()

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
AD
I got a tip from a certified welder that worked in the oil field, welding steel casing for the drilling process. He said he uses acetone that he sprays from a spray bottle. He said no harmful fumes, and dries quickly, and cheaper than any cleaner you buy for 4-6 bucks. I have used it for years and I'm still breathing, and mix any ATF with acetone (50/50) it makes a great solution for rusted fasteners. I've used both and they both work. Just my 2 cents worth. That intake is "evil" Keep on keepin on NC ![]()
