Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne

I installed the front components for fit up. I deleted the AC compressor. I need to space out the alternator and the water pump cover. In pics everything is handsnug. With a few bolts missing. The bolts are from Rogue Bolts with a front pulley set from Street & Perfotmance with CBM power steering and alternator bracket. The water pump need some more work. There’s allot of debate on the LS heater lines weather to plug or loop them, that aside I will be deleting the heater lines, pulling them out and taping them 3/8 & 1/2 NPT. Pugging them with some aluminum allen plugs. I think it’s a lot more cleaner then a loop or rubber plugs. I will also be using a CBM thermostat housing that accepts the LS style 160 thermostat. As for the steam lines I will tap into the water pump. I will tap a 90 elbow 1/8 npt to -4an and a stainless flex hose -4an to -4an and on the steam line tubes a 5/16 compression fitting to -4an.
