In the end, that is a lot of money for an experiment. I would want to make sure that it would turn out nice.

72BlckButy · 02-10-2010, 10:25 PM

I agree... there's a lot at stake for an experiment.

So Hart Rod, have you picked a wheel yet?

Done!!

Uhhmmm maybe,

. I started the installation of the 13" front rotors and modular spindles. Unfortunately, no good pictures to show because it's going to take me longer to clean up the paint shop "goo" than it is to install the brakes,

Frizzle Fry · 02-11-2010, 01:02 AM

I like the Billets too.

nickp51chevy · 02-11-2010, 02:02 AM

I know people say it a lot, but I did just go though the whole thread, and all's I can say is; WOW. You are doing some awesome work. Can't wait for more updates.

eagleuh1 · 02-11-2010, 09:44 PM

HartRob, are your motor mount purches in the back set of holes like an I6 or front holes. I know you had told me you used the ECE mounts before, I think.
Also, whats the closest those DT headers come to the firewall in the back of header. Thanks. I'm looking at using I6 stands with the stock rubber mount for 327 and homemade adapters. This is what a local guy has on his with a . 5.3. I'm looking for header clearance before I buy a set of DT's though. This sets the engine back a little more than yours looks. Thanks. Jim.

They're big block motor mounts. There should be a picture in an earlier part of my thread. There's about 2" of clearance between the headers and the firewall on both sides. Here's a couple of pictures.

Since I've got the front end all tore apart, I pulled the bags and switched the air fitting from 1/4" to 3/8" to match the Accuair manifold.

Rob, I really like the Billets as well - are you trying to stay away from TT2's and/or a set of Coys?

I know they get used like crazy, but I think with your look they would look great! Can't wait to see what you decide - Ronnie

eagleuh1 · 02-13-2010, 11:47 AM

Thanks Hartrod for the pics and info. Looks good. Where'd you have the power steering hoses made? Thanks again.

There's so many choices, it's to hard to decide! I should know soon....

I had the hose made at Napa. It uses the same ends as the factory 67-72 hose and a Weatherhead fitting (#1446: 3/8" is 5/8 18 - 16x1.5) to adapt to the pump.

Which ones did you get? You know we want to see pictures, and we KNOW you have opened them and probably mounted them on the suburban... so give 'em up already!!!!

jmedero · 02-18-2010, 09:29 PM

It's the 14'' celica suppers right?

**lolife99** · 02-18-2010, 09:36 PM

VA72C10 · 02-18-2010, 09:43 PM

Man, you LOVE doing this to us...just like when you took the crewcab for paint.....evil man, just evil

67ChevyRedneck · 02-19-2010, 12:09 AM

After all the time and money you've put into the burb, you're just going to slap some white spoke wagon wheels on it?
