Wow man....
That is about as far as I can get, and about as technical as I can speak at this time.

This looks awesome!

Alan's Classic · 02-01-2012, 01:10 AM

The headers looks great and thanks for posting the part numbers too!! I am building a LS build but no where near where you are and all this info in going to come in handy when I get there

**66ChevyMax** · 02-01-2012, 06:37 PM

Thanks, I think they will match the overall truck well, not over the top looks wise but high tech.

The Sanderson headers are very nice as well but those 1 7/8" tubes make all the difference to me

Thanks again 57!

Thanks and yes, I should ask you the same question. You are so close to driving your truck on a daily basis I don't know how you can think of anything else right now after all the time you have put in.

Once I'm done with the chasis I will post as many manufacturers and part numbers as I can. I need to give back because this board

is what got me to where I am now.

Top bunk mine mine mine

Kerlijah · 02-01-2012, 11:05 PM

Haha works for me, my junker would probably leak all over his if i had top bunk anyhow, lol

FATSO64 · 02-04-2012, 10:03 PM

Are you keeping a list of all the parts and venders you're using for this build? I'd like to copy your notes like back in high school (lol). Is it weird that I'd like to have the exact same setup on my 64? Every time I look at this build, my mouth starts drooling. Plus showing your pictures to the spouse is keeping her excited for my build to start up - so keep em' coming! Thanks for sharing the build.

**66ChevyMax** · 02-05-2012, 11:51 PM

Yes, I will post what I have soon.

**66ChevyMax** · 02-05-2012, 11:55 PM

Got the remote reservoirs for the front shocks mounted today.

**66ChevyMax** · 02-05-2012, 11:57 PM

Front ride height sensors are mounted.

**66ChevyMax** · 02-05-2012, 11:59 PM

Steering linkage and power steering hoses are installed.

**66ChevyMax** · 02-06-2012, 12:00 AM

New plug wires with 45deg caps required by headers.

**66ChevyMax** · 02-06-2012, 12:02 AM

Fuel cell sending unit installed, gas line plumbed to motor.

**66ChevyMax** · 02-06-2012, 12:03 AM

Changed oil pressure sending unit to the one that came with dakota digital gauges.

**66ChevyMax** · 02-06-2012, 12:08 AM

I'm thinking I can use the empty port on the left that had a plug in it for the tempature sending unit that came with the dakota gauges and leave the stock unit on the other side in place so the ECM can still control the fan?

**66ChevyMax** · 02-06-2012, 12:11 AM

Got a lot of little things buttoned up this weekend. Measured for the drive shaft which I will order tomorrow. Taking the radiator to the shop to add steam line.

Need to drill two holes to finish transmission cross member, install radiator & fan, run some power, get mufflers on and see if this thing starts.

Alan's Classic · 02-06-2012, 12:57 AM

Awesome as always, I do have a concern that you may already know. The fuel line is really close to the headers. Do you have a plan for that or thought about it? Just lookin' out for ya.

HAHA, I'm pushing to get it on the road, even then it won't be complete. I'll be glad when I can think of something else other than what I will do next to the truck. I think we all suffer from that.

Won't be a problem. The rear cylinder supposedly tend to run leaner anyway, so you will have the sensor for your gauge on the hottest area of the head. Don't know if there will be much difference in temp but, it's a piece of mind. Keep up the awesome work!

What are you gonna use for the coolant cross over tubes on the 4 corners of the heads? Noticed from the pic that they look to be exposed still.
