Re: My 52 GMC Build
I'm defiantly stepping up my game on this motor swap, it's taking so much time. But it is really turning out good. Stainless intake pipes are done cleaned up how I want them and sanded.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Wiring is all cleaned up for the motor and under the dash, shortened the wires for the computer. I used the heat gun solder butt splices, they are like magic. Then wrapped it in cloth split loom and used fiber tape where needed.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
The 4" exhaust is done and installed. I'm calling the down pipe my snowmobile exhaust because it looks like it should be on a snowmobile lol. Came out good can't wait to hear it. Had to squish it in a few spots to get some ground clearance and to clear the lower 4link bar. The exit is floating in the 6" tail pipe.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
you're right, the down pipe does look like a sled exhaust, haha. nise to see the flex joints too.
that is gonna be a tight underhood when done. gonna be good to see those pics with the fenders on etc. keep plugging away and the list will be done so you can drive it, and make a new list of tidy up stuff, like we all do. |

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Ok I put together a video of the first start and last Saturday when I drove the truck out side for the first time with the full exhaust and intake. Very happy with the sound.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
OH the seals are so nice to work with, I used the same seals on the black '52 I built worked great for the summer we had that truck.
I ordered my programmer/ tuner today should be here in a week or two just about right for a test drive.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Ya I know, I wish. I'm waiting on the programmer to come in to make it run properly with the modifications I made to the motor. But I will take it around the block Friday to check out the other parts.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Well quick update: I got the tuner installed and got the speedometer calibrated I have about 50mi on the new setup now. I have been driving around on the lowest power setting I have, I have yet to floor it and the amount of power scares me.
Still playing with some suspension adjustments and braking in the transmission before I see what it can do.
