Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
Those mounts are sweet, thanks for the tip!
You mentioned you would have to use 73-up mounts (or stands, maybe)---but it looks like they would bolt to the regular 72 SBC mounts and stands. Am I missing something? JK

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
Do you have any plans to box the frame where you "Z'd" the front?
That frame is pretty scarey looking to me. Especially with some horsepower under the hood. Posted via Mobile Device

This frame is boxed and gusseted already. It Has actually been driven on for 20k plus miles as such, and no tweaks, cracks or signs of stress or weakness. The 327 that was pulled out weighs 575 lbs and the LQ4 weighs 540 lbs....less with a/c compressor removed. So we are definitely in great shape. ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

Must be an old picture,... because that's not "boxed" in this picture. That's the part I would be worried about.

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
The thing is it has not been a problem. Not a problem to add additional bracing there, but the z you can see on earlier pics.

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
![]() Got the engine and trans mounted. Removed the cab so that we can replace floor pans, A/C holes, and rockers. This will allow us to run fuel lines, mount fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel regulator and transmission cross member. The cool addition is that we are going to install a custom center console, made from aluminum. This will hold the switches, and have storage for other items that I need to place out of harm's way. Will also be boxing in the front and rear with additional bracing and frame reinforcement.

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
![]() ![]() Will be cleaning up the frame and painting it up. But that is after boxing up the area near the Z and some points in between. Notice that the motor and trans fits smack dab in the right place....almost anyway. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
I upgraded fuel system again. Instead of the Mallory stuff, got the more performance-oriented (and spendy) Holley fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator.
![]() ![]() ![]() Got the fuel lines, fittings, clamps and other things needed to make this happen. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
Great looking project! I just got a 6.0 and 4l80 for my son's truck and I might try the aluminum side brackets.

LOL! I am happy. We are even redoing the lines...hardlines. Will make it pretty much fool-proof. No more melted lines. Really, no worries.
