But still a lot to do..

Things left to do:

Bolt down throttle body
Fab radiator support
Figure out where to mount the alternator
Rewire electric Fans
Install pushrods and rocker arms
Rewire power to computer
N20 wiring
Shim torque converter
Bolt drive shaft in
Put rear cover on and fill with fluid
Finish up C-notch in the rear
Lower truck more

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things

so what all changed? besides the WOW factor of course

im going to end up going this route with my 57' but with a 6.0L Vortec(i swapped the chassis from a 65' and the big block is only going to last so long)

As far as the motor, went to an electric water pump, got rid of the LS6 intake and ported factory TB for a Super Victor and 4500 TB.

As well as

Thanks guys.. I have been a lot more motivated the last week or so.. It's cold out and that means record setting days..

phipp13 · 12-23-2008, 03:52 AM

too damn cold for any racing here in the mid atlantic region. right middle coast for you guys out on the sunny warm left coast

wish we had your weather!!!! still motivated COLD but motivated... phipp

Last week it was in the 30's at night and high 40's to low 50's during the day.. Right now they are forecasting rain for 10days

But when it does clear up it should be good racing weather. I actally drove my 67 suicide vert Lincoln to work a couple weeks ago. No heater, top and windows down and freezing the whole hour ride there and hour ride home. It was high 50's that day.

phipp13 · 12-23-2008, 04:15 AM

low 30s in the day windy as hell here on the chesapeke bay 20s at night. you must be up in northern CA???? no heat in the damn yankee either but it does have a lid on it BRRRR

Super73 · 12-23-2008, 04:20 AM
