GREAT looking build! Where did you relocate the battery ? And your AC deflector balls look terrific! Have you found a plastic plater or replacements?

Thanks for sharing!

Older thread, I know...but, what kind of radiator and fan set up did you go with? Don't remember reading about that

Re: 1966 chevy truck engine swap to LS1
 

Very nice, very clean. What did you use for the cold air intake set up, a kit available somewhere or pieced together ?

Re: 1966 chevy truck engine swap to LS1
 

Thanks,
I used K&N 77 Series Polished Air Intake System 99-07 Chevy Cadillac GMC V8 Truck & SUV at O'Reilly Auto Parts store.

I ordered a replacement 1965 Impala Aluminum Radiator, modified the mounts on my truck and had a couple extra bungs added for the steam line, I also had a fan shroud custom built for it. I believe its a 14 inch fan, I think it's a 2000 cfm, pull fan.

Re: 1966 chevy truck engine swap to LS1
 

I relocated the battery under the bed, passenger side. Battery box that drops down for maintenance, etc. The terminal under the hood are for trickle charging and jump starting.

Ac deflector ball were re-chromed back east, plastic plater/chrome. I could find the details on that if you want. I could not find replacement deflector balls any where.

Doors - One-Piece glass project! It very long and tedious process, fitting and refitting, you need patients, you can't rush this!

Re: 1966 chevy truck engine swap to LS1
 

Fitting the windows, I made a template. I also made door stops that are flexible.

Here are some interior details! Custom made vent plugs, Speaker box, customer redesigned kickers moving speaker to the vent hole. So you won't lick the speaker and I'm not using the vents anymore. Remember I also closed up the cowl vent on the hood. See past pages for picture on that.

Re: 1966 chevy truck engine swap to LS1

Re: 1966 chevy truck engine swap to LS1
 

That is AWESOME. Question for you, I have a set of shaved doors with no glass, was considering the solid window. How hard was the swap to that? Would you do it again??

Re: 1966 chevy truck engine swap to LS1
 

Very very nice!!!

Re: 1966 chevy truck engine swap to LS1
 

1966 Chevy you mentioned in a post you had not taken any pictures of the computer mounted with the air unit. Is there any way you could post some pictures because i was planning on the same setup as you did. Thanks in advance.
