I can't remember who! He has a LS motor in his truck, the block is orange. He went from a BBC that had custom painted valve covers to this motor. Polished LS-Car intake and the coil covers. I cannot for the life of me find this dude now.

Hopefully he'll see this and chime in.

LuckyHenriksen · 05-06-2009, 12:48 AM

Thats cool, if I recall he sent me some pics a while back. At least the orange block sounds familiar

MrBeast · 05-06-2009, 09:35 AM

LS1? nah, this would have been so much better!

And its chrome too!

Are you talking about Mike Nutt in alabama, he recently removed his 396 and installed a 6.0.... see link below.

texanidiot25 · 05-06-2009, 03:26 PM

Yes!

That's the covers. They'd look right at home with the Carb sitting up top.

LuckyHenriksen · 05-06-2009, 07:14 PM

Yep its mike, I just saw his update to the thread. Very badass. Too clean!

SCIV · 06-12-2009, 10:50 PM

Any updates Lucky?

LuckyHenriksen · 06-13-2009, 02:08 AM

No, sadly I have lost motivation to get it all finished. Soon enough! I have an LSX lift plate on order from quicktime so I can feel safer moving the motor in and out.

bigguy69 · 06-13-2009, 10:48 PM

man i would love to see that truck back in one piece! i have always liked it.

JK!!

Get in there soldier!!!! Don't give up after all you have been through! You will have a hella sweet ride soon enough. Keep your chin up!

LuckyHenriksen · 06-14-2009, 01:02 PM

Thanks for the support guys. I went to a big cruise in yesterday, and hearing all the nasty muscle cars roaring around gave me new inspiration

mikajo39 · 06-14-2009, 01:05 PM

Good!

Get that thing running!

67 c10 guy · 06-15-2009, 11:06 AM

Ya, pretty busy with graduation and finding work and what not. I just received my LSX Lift Plate in the mail from QuickTime, so I can get back to work now

Gray Ghost · 06-17-2009, 09:09 AM

Cool...congrats on the graduation!

LuckyHenriksen · 06-17-2009, 01:02 PM

Thanks

it feels great to be done

70stroker · 06-17-2009, 08:53 PM

Your holding out on us. wheres the pics.

LuckyHenriksen · 06-18-2009, 11:48 AM

Nothing new to have pics of! Yet

Here is my rough checklist of things to do:

-Pull Engine/Trans
Install head tabs
Install head gaskets
Unbolt TH400 and have the tab that I broke off re-welded
Drill new holes in the frame for the motor mounts
-Figure out a way to mount the new 4 core double pass alum. radiator
-Install FCG tank under the bed
Rig up a bed floor fill cap
Plumb new fuel lines
Install Holley elec. fuel pump and regulator
-Rewire Engine
Get the MSD harness hooked up
Starter hook up
Gauges hooked up
Keep working on cheap headers to make them fit
-Plumb new 3 inch exhaust

(the best part)

That is just what comes to mind as I think about it, there might be more

joeys66pickup · 07-19-2009, 02:04 PM

so whats the deal Henriksen? i see its on CL for 11k(you have more then that in the truck dont you?) someone needs to finish it You or another member because its so damn badass

VA72C10 · 07-19-2009, 04:14 PM

Sorry you've gotta sell it...hope it works out for you...

LuckyHenriksen · 07-19-2009, 08:49 PM

Ahhh you caught me. I really want to finish it, and I have pretty much everything needed.........and your right, lots more than 11K invested. I just lost motivation, and am growing up and changing directions in my life. School, work, serious girlfriend, and new projects (VW, WR250X) are getting in the way. I would love to sell to a board member or someone who would take the time to put it all together.

Gray Ghost · 07-19-2009, 09:01 PM

Fear not Lucky....you are not alone. I am trading my old truck in on a 2005 Sierra Z71 on Tuesday....hope you have better luck selling than I did!

Kudos to taking the new direction....ya gotta do it sometimes!

chevy_mike · 07-19-2009, 11:42 PM

Ahhhh..... I remember when I was young and dumb. I made WAY too many mistakes like this in my life. Too much time and money into a project to only sell it off at a lost, when my whim of the moment for the project was lost.

Boy did I regret a few of those mistakes. Three of those mistakes I ended up buying the same year and model later in life.

Good luck on your sale but if you don't have to sell it, put it aside and come back to it later. Years from now, you will regret it, if you sell it.
