Sorry Dennis, I was incorrect. When I pulled the engine back out to clean and paint the frame as well as drill the last hole for the lower mounting of the engine stand the hole was already there and lined up perfectly.

menace121978 · 02-09-2010, 10:15 PM

Just like mine!!! now i know mines in the right place!

STOCKISH · 02-09-2010, 10:40 PM

Either that or they're both in the wrong place???? Pretty sure it's close enough though.

menace121978 · 02-09-2010, 10:47 PM

i think we are good. hows yours sitting? nice and level?

did you get your fuel system parts yet? i just ordered everything on Bob's list from summit just now. the quick disconnect at the motor is back ordered til 2-19. only thing i need now is the high psi hose... been looking for part #'s on the hoses in Bob's thread but i havent had any luck. ive read that dang thread atleast 6-7 times now!

STOCKISH · 02-10-2010, 08:53 AM

Mines not in right now until I get the frame cleaned up more and painted. I have my 87 tanks, senders, pumps, F.I. high PSI clamps, high psi. switching valve. etc. Just need the hose. I am thinking about running metal line with hose just on the ends but havent decided yet.

68GMCCustom · 02-15-2010, 01:47 AM

subscribed....this is the same swap I'll be doing.

STOCKISH · 02-16-2010, 03:12 PM

Finally made some progress worth reporting today. Got the frame cleaned and painted and the engine/trans in for the final time. Actually looks really good in there. Damn cold outside but worth the effort. Man I cant wait to get my harness and ECU back.

STOCKISH · 02-16-2010, 03:15 PM

Couple more.

79gmc5.3 · 02-16-2010, 03:40 PM

Man that looks good!!

That motor looks right at home. As soon as I get a little warm weather I am going to pull my little 305 getting ready for that 6.0 pawaaah!

JohnC · 02-16-2010, 04:00 PM

Man that looks AWESOME sitting in there!

Grat work man!

mcbassin · 02-16-2010, 07:12 PM

Oh yea! Looking great!

menace121978 · 02-16-2010, 07:43 PM

Awesome! i can stare at those pics forever!

looks sweet sitting in there man. nice job on cleaning everything up and painting... well worth the extra time spent

did you say your exhaust manifold on the pass side fits? or did you notch the frame? i need to send my harness out also. working on the fuel stuff now. cant wait either!

Driveway Dreams · 02-16-2010, 07:46 PM

Looks killer man! That thing could not match any better in the truck. Very good work.

STOCKISH · 02-16-2010, 09:14 PM

Thanks for all the kind words fellas. Dennis, the manifolds fit just like Glocks. Just a very slight notch on the pass. side is all thats needed. Over all the fit is perfect. Getting very excited.

menace121978 · 02-16-2010, 09:18 PM

mine too... i havent touched(cut) the frame so far so i'm going to try the s&p's. i hope they clear the engine stand

STOCKISH · 02-16-2010, 09:24 PM

So you're not going to run the truck manifolds? I guess I'd rather have the headers as well but may do that later as money permits. I'm just glad to have it in the frame for good now. I wont complain either way.

menace121978 · 02-16-2010, 09:38 PM

i'm never happy

i think the best choice for what im doing is going to be headers. i love how they look!

STOCKISH · 02-16-2010, 09:41 PM

Yeah me too, just dont like the price so much.

menace121978 · 02-16-2010, 09:41 PM

and i do know what you mean... getting that baby in there is a HUGE step! the feeling of accomplishment and happiness just never lasts that long for me

I think I now understand a little more about you Dennis. Next time you want to do that, just fill my address in on the "Ship to:" area.

lnwlfbsktbll · 02-16-2010, 11:59 PM

Great progress, wish mine was coming along as well.

You just say that because now you get home before the wife can see what you bought.
