Seat looks totally factory. Way to go.

On what motor to choose. I can't really say much, I've rebuilt a few.
Wanted to buy one of those fancy Summit or Edelbrock motors but could never afford one at the time.
Now all I think about are those LS motors that everyone else is using.
geesh, Im a lot a help.

Seats look great Man

LostMy65 · 10-16-2013, 11:35 PM

I also don't know what to recommend for a motor.
But I have to say those buckets are going to be so cool.
Independent adjustments, and the ability to swing the back forward. How neat.
Perhaps I missed it... - what's your plans for a center console?

Thanks, man. I'm trying to stay away from all the changes needed for an LS motor. I'm trying to keep it simple and old school somewhat since that is what I know. This is probably my last project so I'm going with new motor and trans and letting somebody else to the building for me. I've actually got it narrowed down to 2 or 3 choices, I just wanted to get a feel for what others think.

Thanks. I was just thinking about a center console today and I have to wait till the seats are set in and I see just how much room I have, but I'm thinking of building something to tie in with the stock look and maybe a little art deco thrown in, similar to the horn button I'm going to use.

Custom Bucket Seat!!!

**pdxhall** · 10-24-2013, 05:16 PM

I'm excited to say that I invested about $3500 into my Sanity today. Things are getting serious now.
Updates to come soon.

Gapp · 10-24-2013, 05:44 PM

Great work! I would be foaming at the mouth with 3500 to drop!

NEWFISHER · 10-24-2013, 05:51 PM

Crate motor or Porterbuilt?

McMurphy · 10-24-2013, 08:53 PM

You got a shifter knob....

Ta2Don · 10-24-2013, 09:13 PM

Must be some spendy seat covers...

TJ's Chevy · 10-25-2013, 03:45 PM

Must have gotten one SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET set of mirrors!!!HAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!

Seat covers would be nice but that's down the road a ways.

Mirrors? I don't need mirrors. I don't care who's behind me.

Thanks, John. I've got them both done now except the mod on the brackets and some paint. More pics soon when they're finished.

**pdxhall** · 10-26-2013, 09:57 PM

This will be here by next weekend plus a harmonic balancer and flexplate. I'm also going to check on a 700r4 trans, Tru-ram headers, and HEI distributor. I would like to know some opinions on what HEI to get. I know there are some that don't fit too well with the firewall in these trucks. I'm tossing around the idea of MSD pro-billet. What do you think?

McMurphy · 10-27-2013, 12:10 AM

Wowzaaaa !!

rusty76 · 10-27-2013, 01:24 PM

That's going to be fun.

Bomp · 10-27-2013, 02:05 PM

Way cool on the motor showing up.
There are quite a few some small diameter distributors out there to choose from for clearance issues.
Good luck with the motor. Can't wait to see it live.

Ta2Don · 10-27-2013, 02:49 PM

Better than the Spendy Seatcovers I envisioned...

Nice!

**pdxhall** · 10-29-2013, 03:18 AM

I'm getting pretty stoked right now. I just checked and my engine and stuff will be on the dock in Portland tomorrow and hopefully delivered Wed. which is the start of my weekend. I'm going to work on getting my 700r4 ordered, also. Have any of you dealt with Transmission Exchange based here in Portland? They have a heavy duty trans that I've been looking at that sounds pretty good.

LostMy65 · 10-29-2013, 07:21 AM

I have no experience with that company.
.
Man! That is going to be a nice power train.

**pdxhall** · 10-31-2013, 07:28 PM

I just got delivery. unpacked and first shots of the winter project.

Bomp · 10-31-2013, 07:35 PM

Congrats.

One major step in the right direction.

Ta2Don · 10-31-2013, 07:38 PM

Very Nice!

LostMy65 · 10-31-2013, 07:48 PM

I'll be swinging by this weekend to pick that up.
Thanks,
Robert
