Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Here's some motivation I needed. I'm using por15 engine enamel. I hope it lasts. It sure looks good now.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Looks good. Reminds me I have to paint the rubber oil fill plug on my Blazer to match the engine.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Got my engine on the stand and Unwrapped it. The block and pan need to be painted and it's not assembled yet. Hopefully I can do the block next week.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Got my water pump on and pressed my balancer on. With the aluminium cloyes timing cover being a bit thicker than the original it's tight for space behind the water pump. Can just put a sheet of looseleaf thru it so it isn't touching. Having trouble with the pulleys lining up though. Kind of frustrating. I may try pressing the pulley base plate further down the shaft on the waster pump. It is a 5 5/8" pump. I have the balancer in the exact same spot as my original 327 engine.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I pushed the water pump pulley plate back 3/16" and it sits perfect without rubbing on the pump but barely and everything lines up now! And a few of the air cleaner and the kick down.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Got the water pump I'm using all painted up. I try to use all gm original casting parts but my original water pump would not clear the cloys timing cover without a 1/8" spacer which would put all my pulleys out of alignment more than than the 3/8" they already were so I got an aftermarket one thay does clear without the spacers. I also added a Stainless steel cover plate to avoid the pitting the steel ones all get after lots of use.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
My engine builder put a melling high volume oil pump on my engine and I don't particularly like those so I got a 10553 melling oil pump instead. My screen needed to be replaced so I ordered another one but I was shipped the wrong one. I was hoping to get this running this week. Looks like it's still a few weeks away now.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Love the detail. I thought GMC used a red color on the engine rather than Chevrolet orange. Am I incorrect?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I believe 283 was red like the inline 6's were ( at least in Canada) and 327 was orange. I had a 67 gmc with a 283 and it was red. This is the original 327 from another 67 I have and it is orange. It looks pretty original.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Fog lights are in the bumper. They are fully adjustable up-Down and left-right. Might have to make a slight modification to the outer bumper brackets.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I put my headlight relays into a external regulator housing. I wanted better lighting but didn't want to pur modern relays into my engine bay. They would look out of place. Now I just need to change the lighting harness to work with this. I saw another member do this and thought it was clean looking.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I got some led fog lights for my truck and made a relay for them as well. I had to add the ring to the base of the led lights as the originals mounted different than most bulbs of the era. I won't throw out the originals though. I also ordered led headlights that have a glass pattern like the originals and got robznob11's led bulbs for everywhere else. It can still look original with modern lighting! https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-3-4-Stock...53.m1438.l2649

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I got the headlights from octane lighting. They fit the headlight buckets with no cutting which I liked as well.
