Me too! Glad my buddy wanted to give us a bit of a head start. I consider him a master at wiring.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
That is what I have for the truck. Thanks for measuring. The Holley mid-mount is 7 5/8”, so tip of water pump is 3/8” closer to the radiator. Am I thinking right?

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
A few posts ago we were looking at accessory drive dimensions with concern to radiator clearance. Moving the engine back solved that more than likely. Image on the left is before and image on right is after moving it back, noticeable comparing balancer to crossmember.
And I likely gave myself another clearance issue with the intake. Adding the throttle body and intake tube shows contact with radiator, fan, shroud likely. Will know more when more pieces are put in place...again. Have three ideas to resolve that potential issue. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Wiring looks nice!
You gained an inch or so with putting the engine back?

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Thanks, he does nice work. Yes I gained about an inch or so moving the engine back so water pump tip to radiator fan clearance should be good. Going to put front end together, probably at our Wire and Fire, to check spacing.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
I love nice, neat wiring. Looks good.
I wish I could make the wire & fire, maybe you could stream a live broadcast for those of us that can't make it. ![]()

If you are able to make it up, please bring your Eastwood one along. It would be interesting to compare it to the Mastercool hydraulic flaring tool I have. We are in good shape with benders too. We all dislike crappy benders and we loaded up with each size of a high quality bender from Gulley performance. For fuel lines we have the design pencilled out, Nathan bought a big quantity of fittings from Jegs, we have the flexible line, and will have straight tube to give us options too. My Christmas present to myself a couple years ago was the Cool Tools fitting press so we have that. And we will also have the homemade one Nathan put together for comparison purposes. This is going to be fun. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
It’s going to be an awesome event, too bad I can’t be there...
It’s like living on an island ![]() I have worked on Curacao for several years, there did we have the same problems with parts, everything had to flown in or make it yourself if possible. But you tackled these problems ![]() I’m in for a livestream, I always watch Dragracing on livestream, works perfect!! You can do a livestream on FB or YouTube maybe? If you do, please let me know? Merry Christmas everybody!!
