Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
So sorry for your loss Doug, I could tell the two of you had a great bond. I don't think I could make it to your "wire and fire" but sounds awesome. You should make plans to go to AD Nationals next September.

Sorry to hear Doug. A Proverbs 31 wife, what a blessing and a loss.

Sorry to hear of your wife’s passing. Prayers to you and your family. Can’t wait to see updates on the burb.

It sure is...takes a 100’ swath spraying fields and doubles as a shop camera platform.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Guys thank you for your kind words and prayers!
Lower, we think the “Wire and Fire” should be fun and I hope to make AD nationals next year with this Burb. I’ve been researching parts and have now settled on the accessory drive from Holley. Been saving this article about install in the AD truck. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/inst...7-chevy-truck/ And Holly has their Hollydays sale going on now! |

Jim does need one. This sign was from my Grandpa Jim’s auto repair shop. He had it from around WW2 and retired in late 1970’s. When I was a kid I loved going there and even liked the smell of the 90 weight gear oil the shop smelled of. Funny my Grandsons say they love the smell of my shop. Kinda doing a run on Holley considering their coil hiding valve covers. Not sure I like the “Holley” on them though. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Doug, you could go this route.
You can use your stock valve covers (paint if you want) and put these covers over the coils. These are from Clayton machine works...ava. from Summit Mark

You would be very welcome here and I would be delighted if you can make it. Due to our rural location, accommodations are a bit limited. Robinson IL is about 18 miles NE on my place and I would suggest either of these... https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/baymon...inson/overview http://www.robinsonareahotel.com Newton, IL is about 15 miles NW of me and I suggest... https://www.staycobblestone.com/il/newton/ And if you are an RV guy, we have plenty of nice space here on our place. On a build note, Holley mid mount is on the way...and I am not enthusiastic about the Holley valve covers. Price is decent for that style, just not wild about the design. Might just go back to remote mount for the coils. |

I love how compact the holley mid mount is, and how everything is included.

It does have a good look, is priced reasonable for everything included and hopefully will work well. The belt contact on the power steering pump looks a little light in degrees of contact. Just a “gut” feeling on my part though and not based on data. Be cool if you came up Greg. Nothing but the best for Cindy’s build! I know it would be tough for you to get away Jim, though we would love for you and Mark to make our build day. |

thanks for the compliment! but my dad used to say "if all the world were good intentions..." I just bought a complete set of con2r gauges, even though I know very well the method of reusing the steppers in the stock gauges. my reasoning is, moving the steppers looks fine but in practice doesnt stand up to the rigors of daily driving. truth be told if I do an LS variant I will likely use the holley setup too!

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Doug, Sorry to hear about your wife. The wire and fire sounds cool.
The Holley front drive system is cool looking. I thought the same thing about the contact of the P/S pulley contact when I saw the picture you posted. not a lot of options on belt routing though. Wish that was out when ai need a front drive system.

Yeah, I looked at a bunch of front drive accessory systems with a goal of keeping inside the fenders. Was pretty focused on Wegners though it is pricey. Glad I waited for the Holley mid mount. FedEx delivered from Jegs today. Very complete and it looks good! |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
That’s a nice box of Parts Doug!
The Holley setup looks great, pretty neat to get all of it between the fenders. As for valve cover setup/coil relocating for LS engines, I like the Delmo’s very much, don’t know what they costs, I think they’re on the expensive side.... But I like what he does with these engines. And I looked into your “Wire and Fire” meet up, but I can’t make it, I’ve tried, sorry. Would have lovend to meet all of you. We will in the future!!
