Re: 1966 C1434 SWB Custom Cab
Some more pics, I need to sort out the exhaust before my ears start to bleed. I'm so happy with the way it turned out. Once my pocket book recovers from the cheese I spent getting it running I may add a new LS1 hot cam or some comp cams grind and take it for some tuning.
It seems to pull real nice as it is. The LS is actually an LM7 truck motor which is LS based but everyone calls them LS1. It is essentially the same thing except it's an iron block vs an aluminum block. No overheating, oil pressure seems to be par, and the charging system works flawlessly.
Need to sort out the tach wiring at a later time but the speedometer is a different story. The 4L60e uses an electric speedo when these old trucks use a mechanical one. It's ok I'll just use my gps for speed when traveling.
