Some updates for you guys, i finished up the exhaust system. It is single 3" diameter from the collector (at the Y-pipe) all the way out. I used a small straight through muffler and it terminates at a small turn down before the rear tire.

Headpipe

Muffler from drivers side looking at the passenger side.....

6772owner · 02-18-2009, 09:46 PM

So I found this pic of an interesting LT1 air intake setup. You guys think something similiar could be done with our trucks in conjunction with a cowl induction hood? Just an idea.....

6772owner · 02-18-2009, 10:11 PM

A complete pic of the engine, out in the sun for a change.

Going to have the computer tuned on Saturday, hope to have it driving again by the end of the month, but I've said that before.....

nuke1 · 02-18-2009, 11:43 PM

you have some great progress happening to your truck, i personal love the Lt1's, great engine, you have done a fair amount of work to your truck so far, what are your plans for the color and body, you gonna mod it in some way? or leave it stock, i would like to see your truck sream a hot wheels rendition, maybe they would make a copy of your truck. and welcome from saskatchewan canada, btw tell your bro that is one bad @ss ride, i am jealous

VA72C10 · 02-18-2009, 11:45 PM

Good job tucking that exhaust

6772owner · 02-19-2009, 05:55 PM

nuke1 thanks a lot, it has been a long journey, but its finally coming together a little at least. I think at this point I want to do the one piece windows, a solid rear window, tailgate handle flip and shave the antenna hole. I will probably just do a solid dark blue, maybe some pearl, I like the "Hot Wheels" idea, will have to toss that around for sure. I know, Im jealous too, damn younger brothers, he's only 23 too. LOL

6772owner · 02-19-2009, 05:56 PM

VA72C10 thanks, I beat my head against the wall for awhile trying to figure out the exact routing and how to keep it tucked up tight, I think it came out reasonable for home grown, no bender.

6772owner · 02-21-2009, 12:03 AM

So back tracking a little bit, but this is what I started with years ago, my little truck in a tow yard in New Mexico. Sorry about the small pics, had to scan in regular photos and couldnt seem to resize them.

Interior shot

Bed full of junk

6772owner · 02-24-2009, 11:40 PM

Another small update, I got the truck back to my house this weekend. Im just going to finish up some little things then she's off to get the ECU programmed and then to emissions.

Here's some pics loaded on the trailer again to head home from my bro's

6772owner · 03-07-2009, 02:50 PM

Not a huge update but dropped the truck off last night to have the computer tuning done at a local performance shop. The drive was short so we decided to tow it, trailer is a PITA for a short distance.

Also ordered LED tailight lenses from Classic Parts, along with some stuff for the 67'. Hope to have the C10 back next weekend.....

6772owner · 03-23-2009, 10:24 PM

Small updates, installed the new LED taillights, lowered the fuel pump with a new mounting plate

Still needs to be painted, but you get the idea. LOL

VA72C10 · 03-24-2009, 09:17 PM

Always good to see progress...

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 03-24-2009, 09:27 PM

She looks great nice job...

6772owner · 03-24-2009, 11:18 PM

Thanks guys, I finally have her back on the road, passed emissions test tonight. Im off to get my plates in the morning and then its time to cruise.....

Until the next phase starts anyway....

Going to install the air tanks, valves and bag the front, wish me luck!

STOCKISH · 03-25-2009, 08:42 AM

Were you able to mount the factory a/c compressor with that bracket?

6772owner · 03-25-2009, 10:59 AM

Honestly I didnt even try, mine is not an A/C cab. I do however think that it wouldnt work. I had to cut some of the frame rail just to fit the A/C delete pulley. I believe that you would need a corvette or impala set-up to do the A/C with frame mods.

UltraBlue71 · 03-27-2009, 10:37 PM

You are hired 6772owner! I want a LT1 setup in my 71! I cannot, however, condone posting Ford pics here! J/K! Great job, thats what its all about, two brothers building trucks together, (and the Chevy brother winning when they eventually get to run them!!!)

6772owner · 03-27-2009, 11:21 PM

Ok Im down for that, it really was a pretty easy swap, all the info needed is right here on the forum. Thanks for the compliments, my bro is mostly a chevy guy too, he just loves that body style Ford. I give him grief all the time. I dont know man, that big block is pretty mean, but Id make him work for it!!

6772owner · 03-30-2009, 01:00 PM

Ok fella's here is the first start up of the LT1. Sorry for the crappy quality, all I had was my cell phone at the time. Whatcha think?

VA72C10 · 03-30-2009, 01:06 PM

Sweet!

6772owner · 03-30-2009, 03:14 PM

Thank you, I will try to get a better video of it soon, and with the correct idle speed LOL

6772owner · 04-20-2009, 02:44 PM

Ok a small update here, I burned up the MSD pump some how, I think the fuel level got too low and it overheated. Anyway, I ordered a Walboro 255lph high pressure inline pump and installed that. I lowered it slightly from the MSD version, and also remade the feed line from the cell. So far its holding up and is waaay more quiet that the MSD. I'll post some pics soon....

6772owner · 04-21-2009, 02:18 PM

Ok guys here's the new Walboro pump and feedline, I shortened the feed and wrapped it with electrical to hold the coat hanger wire to teh hose. (the wire is helping the line stay in place and a gentle curve) This setup will be replaced soon with a 1/2" aluminum line with AN fittings on both sides of the pump.

6772owner · 04-21-2009, 02:23 PM

Here is some pics of the exhaust, finally got it completed 100% My bro rewelded the anlge of the pipe and tacked the 3.5" tip on for me. What do you think? You can barely see it from the topside of the bed.

VA72C10 · 04-21-2009, 02:26 PM

Looks good...I like that tip...nice and clean looking.....where'd you pick that up?
