Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
The pulley covers look great. I was wondering, does that type of air inlet system cause problems with heat soak? Either way the dual air intake looks cool.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
Today i got my fuel rail covers these covers capture the original styling of the Chevrolet small block valve cover with its raised fins and classic Corvette script. I got these custum painted to match the ride.
They look sweet! ![]() Last edited by smokedat; 10-08-2010 at 02:26 PM. |

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
Well I have all the parts needed but Im being held back because I'm moving by the end of this month and I will need the truck to haul. I also need to get my paint, I want to paint the engine bay, fire wall, inner fenders ,wheel wells, and the radiator core support before I drop the engine. Once I do start I will keep the pictures coming.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
Holy cow that's a lotta bling! I'd like to know your opinion on what the effect of sucking all that heat through the split intake has on performance one it is up and running. Do you plan on doing a dyno tune once it's done?
Looking sweet, love the truck too!

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
I may have clearance issues with this Y intake, I just may run a single. I will do a dyno to fine tune and get the most out of it and to know exactly what the numbers are.
