Nice tank! not sure what to do since you are going EFI...that requires a different setup with the lines than we have on our 'Dino' carb'ed trucks.

Lucky where did you pick up that quick scale set up @, and around how much? I'm thinking that's a nice tool to have in my arsenal.

Thank C-10

Gray Ghost, I am going with a carb! So you can be very helpful to me =] I need to know how to vent it and what fittings to use etc...... and C10 KID the quick car scales I borrowed from my good friend who builds jet funny cars, he never uses them so he said I was welcome to them. They run at like almost 2k new I think..... yikes!!! He got them in some sort of trade. They are very handy.

[LuckyHenriksen]

Here are some pics of his shop, he builds jet funnies and dragsters, and has a passion for ZO6's. I love going over there and hanging out.











This Nascar was what the scales came with, he got it in a business trade....... the scales are set up for circle track but they work fine for what I am doing.



Man thats an ugly car, but I would love to have that motor and 4 speed out of there! That thing can zing to 7500 in nothing flat.

[LuckyHenriksen]

And heres what my motor should look like when it is completed, I stole this pic from 6L.IROC on ls1tech.com.

I bought a motor today!!! On lunch break from school I cruised over to Foster Auto Parts (FAP) and talked to my friendly counter guy there. He had a few 6.0's, I made a deal on one out of a 2001 2500 I believe, got it for 600 clams. They originally wanted 800. As far as I know it is complete, I go pick it up tomorrow afternoon. There will be PLENTY of pics!

Sounds like a good score!!!

[oldblue1968chevy]

lucky!!!!

lucky you'uns getta lunch break from school to cruise around, we cant even go from the cafeteria to the lobby (chips cokes pizza etc) without gettin stopped and suspended!

[LuckyHenriksen]

Haha as long as I keep off the detention list I can leave at will. And the class I have right after lunch is auto mechanics, and my teach doesn't care if I am there or not, especially if I am out scrounging parts.

Is auto shop not a class? I feel bad when schools don't offer it.

[oldblue1968chevy]

yeah...its a class..

[LuckyHenriksen]

Maybe you can request a semester transfer.

[texanidiot25]

Varies by schools, wether or not they have a shop, much less be able to dump students to other shops

I'd call up a dealership and ask, then figure what you'd buy it off of their price, and sell it at that. I'll talk to my dad this weekend and see what he thinks. He's a 20 yr GM tech.

[LuckyHenriksen]

That would be great texan! I need to get this stuff sold to have some cash to buy a set of L92 heads a big holley

[texanidiot25]

No problemo

In the mean time, call up a local chevy dealership and ask to talk to their parts department manager, or service manager if they fail. Don't describe that your selling parts, but say your rebuilding a motor and would like to price the parts. Should help give you an idea of what factory parts are.

[LuckyHenriksen]

Ok thanks, good plan. I will call tomorrow and see what i find out. Better yet, I will take my moms Denali in for an oil change and sit there and talk to the guys at the counter, see if they will print out a list for me. I will post what I find. Thanks for the inspiration

[Gray Ghost]

Sweet deal!!! Sounds like you got a good one. Can't wait to see pics!

[LuckyHenriksen]

Woooooo!!!!! More pics to come soon....



This is in the school parking lot right after I went a fetched it haha. I was getting some strange looks, for both my beater Furd hauler and the cargo....

[chevy_mike]

[LuckyHenriksen]
