gearys 5600 · 11-29-2011, 12:48 AM

Very nice truck..I need to get me one of those car covers.

bbc71 · 11-29-2011, 04:03 PM

did your truck come with a big block? cuz how did you fit the big valve covers without cutting into the firewall? i had a heck of a time getting my 454 fitting in my 71 k20

JWall · 11-29-2011, 04:16 PM

My truck has POL tubular motor mounts on it that move the motor forward slightly.

very nice. and still got room to take those tall valve covers off and get your hand around the distributer confortably to adjust the timing?

JWall · 11-30-2011, 09:21 AM

Yes they give you a nice gain in space.
Since I haven't pulled a valve cover off of it, I cant say for sure but I'd say it'll be tight pulling them off because of the brake booster but I think it can be done.

Man...this is a beautiful truck. If mine looked like this I would be finished...

FYI V-8 engines sit further back in the frame on 4-wheel drives than 2-wheel drives, roughly 2-3 inches. Hense the major valve cover clearance issues.

Very nice! It's the little details that take a truck from nice to SHOW quality sometimes. And not everyone will notice the changes...but when you see the pictures you can just tell the truck looks nicer
