Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
looking good sarge, dang cabs are always hiding something. I literally just assume I gotta put almost all new patches in any of the ones I come across. Except a 54' I got lined up to do for a guy. Its from out west and is the most solid thing I'v ever seen in person.

Spent the day removing Cecil accessories, cleaning, and painting everything. Engine is in for the last time.

Thanks 99. Rust repair seems to be the phrase of the day around here for sure!

This is before and after straightening and cleaning the left intake runner, using a kit composed of 6 stainless steel balls.

SKYMANGS:
Pic 1 is the right runner before straightening. Lots of dings. The kit doesn't make them perfect, but they are a damn sight better than they started out! PIC 2 is the finished runners ready for install.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
SKYMANGS:
When shawn brought me this TPI motor, it was missing the push rods, lifters, guide plates, and retaining bracket. I quickly discovered that it was cheaper to buy a whole core engine than to buy the parts individually. This is the doner motor, i was told it has a rod knock. $150, with a complete enact valve train. Second pic is transplanted into the TPI motor.

SKYMANGS
I added a personal touch to Cecil. Hand striping in engine color on the intake and raised lettering... Gotta make it stand out in a crowd so it doesn't look like all the other slammed, patina'd, and Tuned Port injected '53 Chevy trucks on 18's and 20's in the parking lot! And Chris, I certainly appreciate all the attention detail you are doing with Cecil's transformation!

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
That looks really good! What are the intake runners coated with? If you have time, could you show the stainless ball kit used to fix the dings in the runners? Thanks!

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Thanks. I'll post pics of the straightening set tomorrow. Tubes are coated in 2000 degree natural cast aluminum engine paint.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
SKYMANGS:
So today I got the motor pretty much prepped for initial start up. Struggled with a broken IAC sensor in the throttle body, but eventually got it out. All the wiring is routed, battery cables on, fuel system complete, and manifolds on. Tomorrow I'll fill the crank case, prime the oil pump, and give it hell. Assuming the distributor shows up as expected, of course.

I stole the flange ends from the 2.8 v6 and modified them to work on the TPI motor (one more problem solved). The rest of the exhaust will get built tomorrow as well.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Never thought about selling them. There is a lot more to converting the speedo than just the faceplate. I guess I could set up an affordable kit for retro fitting the speedhut gauge in the stock housing. Lemme think on that one... Big news is that Cecil ran today, after a lot of cussing and spitting, and 2 days of diagnosis. I guess that injectors sitting for 27 years can be a little feisty!

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
I'm sure Shawn will post up the video soon enough of the startup. It still needs an IAC replaced and some injector cleaner dumped in the tank. But I expect it will run like a champ after that.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Just in case anyone was wondering what the 5.7TPI came from I present to you the 87 IROC-Z before and after circa 1987. Moral of the story don't let your Dad drive your car. Wait a minute, he was my age when this happened! Hmm better be careful LOL
