Power Tour

I think every person who builds a truck, SUV, car should consider a run on the power tour. I took my old 53 IH Travelall to the end site two years ago and the starting point last year when it came to Louisiana. Hopefully, she'll be ready in a few years to make the long haul gang. Enjoy Doug.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

Marc, I appreciate the holding off...

Yes guys we had a great time on Powertour. It was a quest we've wanted to complete a number of years now and this was the year we were able to Long Haul. Praise Him! Nearly 2k miles, long hot days and wife powered right on through!

Ran into Blue Jeep at the conclusion of the event last night. He had been at every stop too and we missed each other the entire week.

Ok, I gotta be back on the Burb cause we are in a race for second place. Been slacking off way too long!

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

Lower, we had hotel reservations about an hour outside each city the stop was in. That worked well for us, typically rates were more reasonable and we avoided the heaviest traffic next morning. I saw on FB some hardy folks were tent camping each nite.

Joedoh, it was fun...the Burb was very comfortable.

Gator with the rebuilt engine is leaking quantities of coolant and engine oil...so will need to look at that Saturday. Always something.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

Hey Doug, it's been a couple of months, I hope all is well. I know life frequently gets in the way of our projects. I haven't worked on mine for a couple of weeks now due to everything else I own suddenly needing attention.

Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!

Me too Richard! I must really dislike mounting seats as that was next on the list when I went on pause....which turned into a sabbatical from the build. Been working on other projects around here, property maintenance, spending time doing things with grandsons and other folks. Burb is waiting patiently....shoot, I haven't even got the 56 Chevy out yet this year!

Thanks for checking in guys, apologies for lack of progress, hope to be back on it before too long!

Hey we all take a pause from time to time for some reason. Glad it's just normal life stuff.

While these look to be nice pieces, I was surprised to read in the instructions they can't be used for a new engine break in as the ceramic coating isn't cured yet. Hooker advises to use some other exhaust manifolds to break in the engine then install the new ones. They even give a break in process for the ceramic coating.
Did you have clearance issues with your starter or dip stick tube? I have a stock 5.3 starter and the manifold (same one as you) hit the heat shield. My f body oil pan dip stick tube hits the manifold too. Is your engine perfectly centered? I have the same right frame rail you did but my engine is about 1/4 off center right now. I'm thinking of moving it but I don't want to lose steering clearance.

Hi Root, I haven't test fit the starter yet, though if your heat shield hits the manifold mine probably will too. The engine is centered and I moved my column about 1 1/2" to the left.

If my dipstick tube contacts, I'll try bending and forming for clearance or find one that does clear. Darn...well at least the used F body pan works.

I only mocked up the manifolds with 2 bolts each to see if they would fit. I need to pull my engine again anyway so now I know where to clearance the frame. I popped the heat shield off the starter so I can at least use this one for the initial start up but I am guessing I may find the heat to damage the starter in the long run so I'll be pricing those mini starters.

I plan to leave my steering in the stock location so I may have to modify the frame a bit if I can't move the engine to perfect center.

I am going to try and bend the dipstick tube too but maybe a fancy lokar one would be better. I don't have a dipstick for my 4l60e at all so if I go lokar atleast they will match. It just barely touches so a slight bend should do it if you aren't running a fuel rail cover with the set opening for the dipstick. You must have used the f-body pan too? It worked really well with my Mustang II IFS.

Did your manifold come with gaskets? I didn't see any in my box.

Yes, I used a used F body pan and it fits fine in this application. No, the manifold didn't come with gaskets.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

Guys, apologies for lack of progress and updates.

As often said, life does get in the way. My wife's cancer returned last summer so I've lost enthusiasm for working on the Burb right now. We have a real battle going for her health, so your prayers and positive thoughts are appreciated.

The Burb is right there on the lift just waiting....

And while my heart isn't in the Burb right now, we did buy a new car trailer (she insisted). Check it out here....http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=1#post8185000

Sorry to hear about your wife's cancer coming back, my mom has had an ongoing battle for almost 6 years. Your wife and your family will definitely be in our prayers.
