Re: My New Truck
I'm following along to see how that air intake setup comes together. I have one of those "filter on a tube" intakes and don't really like the look or sound of it as it sucks in air.

Re: My New Truck
Finally got back to making some progress on the Truck. I decided since the front end is still disassembled I would get the AC condenser installed. So I order a condenser off of amazon, as others had decent luck making it fit on their trucks. I got the condenser and there was no way it was going to fit on my truck. Sent it back. I ordered the Vintage Air condenser kit and it turns out to be a really nice kit WITH a drier as well. Thus got it installed. This fits really well in a 1973!

Re: My New Truck
So now we can finally place the radiator/electric fans in the engine compartment for the last time, and bolt it into place.

Re: My New Truck
Since the radiator is in, now I can start reassembling the front end!

Re: My New Truck
Ok, on the cold air intake here is what I did. I took the factory Silverado air box (2001-2007). And I just modified it. I took off the outside cold air intakes where the Silverado would get its cold air from. I plugged those as the stock Silverado cold air intake tubes popped right out. I had some old gm plastic parts laying around, so i cut the up to fill these old Silverado cold air intake tubes. Baking soda and SUPER GLUE make a real good filler/glue for this (albeit messy).
If you’re wondering why i just didn’t cut a hole in the rad support. That isn’t going to happen, as my rad support was in perfect condition after 50 years so I am not going to cut it up. So instead i will punch a hole in the aftermarket inner fender liners.

Re: My New Truck
So i just went to my local metal dealer and bought 4” aluminum tubes 24” long. (Didn’t really know how much I needed). I reset the air box in the right front corner of my Squarebody and after a lot of measuring and calculating i took the 4” hole saw and punched a hole in the bottom of the air box. I then used little “L” brackets to mock up where i wanted the tube. The bolts were later removed so air flow would not be restricted.
In the air box and on the outside of the air box any gaps i filled with a silicon type of caulk to make sure only the air outside the engine compartment is getting into this air box.

Re: My New Truck
For some reason this silver tube picture won’t save in the previous file.

Re: My New Truck
This last batch of photos/updates makes your engine bay look SO clean and factory fresh. I like it... alot. Maybe that's why they call you Factory Guy.

Re: My New Truck
You'll have have to set your video's settings to ether public or unlisted for us to be able to see it. Unless you can figure out how to share a private video I have never done it so I don't know how it works on those.
Unlisted usually is the best way to go if you want to share a video but don't want it coming up in the YouTube search results.

Re: My New Truck
Video worked.
I know you mentioned & swapped the cam but I never noticed the details/specs regarding your choice. What did you go with?

Its a moderately priced cam. You can read more about it in the link below. Warning it you do a camshaft like this you WILL need a stall converter! https://sites.google.com/site/sloppy...sloppy-stage-2 Chev Gen III/IV (LS Series) 3-Bolt '97-Present Adv. Duration: 283/286 Duration @ .050": 228/230 Lift: .585/.585 Lobe Separation: 112 LC If you run this can you do not need to change the pushrods. Only the valve springs need to be changed to the PAC1218’s.
