Re: My 1971 k5 engine bay build

Love the build up with the original hardware. Looks great...wheel/tire/dish combo is very nice too. Thanks for posting.

Well, I for one can't get over you would do such a nice job and use that cracked manifold. Without a doubt that goes right through.
I don't understand why the place that ceramic coated them wouldn't try and talk you out of it, or at least get it welded first?

Thanks that means a lot coming from you!
Your build is actually what motivated me to do all of this! The truck ran just fine before I decided to tear it all apart!

Am I running the plug wires correctly behind the motor mounts and through the small plug wire brackets?

That's how we did it. I don't seem to have a good or even in-focus picture of it though.
