Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Mr. Bam you're the man. Your creativity is exceptional. What Hydro-boost are you going to use? New? salvage? Dodge? Chev? I sure hope that truckin gods smile down upon you and you're blessed with time, health, and fundage to keep on truckin. Be safe Chase

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Looks Great!! You went with a flat or semi gloss this time instead of the gloss? Any reason, or just preference?

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I got it from jegs. It does not come with the clevis. It has 3/8 -21 female and 3/8 -21 male on the other end. Its about 9 inches long but I had to cut it down and drill and tap it to fit my application.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I been a very busy over the last year. I remodeled the entire house with an addition. The wife told me while we are at it to build a workshop for my tools that way only my cars where in the garage. We also added a driveway between the garage and the new workshop, a fence that sections off my part of the yard from hers.lol

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I after doing the shed I was tired of sanding due to installing all the drywall and stuff. So I decided to focus my attention on the LS engine. It was sitting so long that I just want to rebuild it. I bored it to a 5.7 and added 5.7 flattop pistons, and TSP 228r cam, and ARP rod bolts, other than that the rotating assembly is stocked.
Bare block when it came back from the machine shop ![]() Machine shop check list. ![]() Rotating Assembly right before I installed it. ![]() Engine back together. Oh I also brought some used 243 heads of ebay and had them rebuilt also. ![]() Other things I did was paint the valve the same color as the trucks and found some aftermarket coil brackets that I like way better than the OEM ones and headers. ![]() Ready to fire it up for the first time. I only let it run a little while due to no radiator. My setup is a engine dolly I made, along with a front that is removable. It just slides into the legs of the dolly. For gas I used Lawn Mower gas tank that I modified for a return line, PSI wiring harness and basic tune (still have to have it tuned for the cam), external fuel pump, corvette filter regulator, and drive by wire. ![]() ![]() Here is a link to a short video of it running. I only let it run for a short time due to no radiator. It sounds pretty good. https://www.flickr.com/photos/bam55/...7670272808501/ |
