Re: 67' C10 Build V8 Conversion & 700r4 trans

Man you have more people watching this than I have on mine, I'll try to help. lol.. Yes they make the firewall grommet for the clutch linkage in the firewall but I forget who sells it, but I changed my mind to an auto so I never got one, as you are, so why do you need it with an auto? you just want the plug for the hole then right? that I do not know.

I think the frame is just a little flimsy because the front susp/eng xmember is out, It is the main structure for the front.

While im thinking about it, before you put the V8 in there you need to move the motor mount stands forward one hole, unless you like pulling the engine to get to your distributor.

Re: 67' C10 Build V8 Conversion & 700r4 trans

Thanks to everyone that reply'ed.

Hey 67c10rustbucket,

I wanted a blank rubber plug to fill the clutch hole, now that I am going to Automatic, I don't want a hole in the firewall.

In reading some where on this site it said that the Frame to motor mount, motor stands are different, between the I6 and V8, and Thanks for the note about moving the frame Motor stand to the front hole locations.

Frame being flimsy, it is very flimsy, But once I have the three cross members back in (engine included) it should stiffen things up a bit.

Re: 67' C10 Build V8 Conversion & 700r4 trans

Today, I sanded the firewall with scotch brite, & degreased it with a Wax & Grease remover.

I also blew out the Fresh Air Vent, I thought that I cleaned it out pretty well before, I took out about 4 handfuls of leaves and decayed garbage out of each side.

But when I blew 120psi into the fresh air vent it blew out A LOT MORE crap, leave tree seeds, pine needles, what looked like Mudd, probably decayed garbage.

If it is warm enough tomorrow, i will mask & Prime the firewall. I may even paint it.

I received the KBS Frame coating kit in Satin Black today.

So i am ready to finish cleaning the frame all the way back, I am also going to use it on the rear end.

Re: 67' C10 Build V8 Conversion & 700r4 trans

Ok side note,

I have Two Porsche 914's a 1971' Porsche 914, that I has not had much attention.

It has the stock Haha 80h.p. engine, I have been thinking that a Chevy 4.3L V6 230h.p. 275ftlbs of torque would be a great addition to this 1900 lbs. car.

Maybe a summer project, after the 67' pickup is finished

Re: 67' C10 Build V8 Conversion & 700r4 trans

Sorry i did not get any pics of the firewall with three coats primer, These pics are with two coats.

The Third coat was a heavy one.

I must have been in a hurry to get some color on it.

Here are a few pics with two coats of color.

There is a #144 in the trans tunnel, must have been a factory thing.

Those pics dont look as good as it does in person, the pictures do not show the depth or the shine that you get when viewed in person.

Re: 67' C10 Build V8 Conversion & 700r4 trans

Just kidding about the paint gun, my wife doesn't care. although, I could paint her some thicker eye lashes, maybe some thicker eye brows, maybe a unibrow, ok now she may be a little pist about the uni-brow comment.

The gun was $100.00, It is not a Cadillac/high end gun, but is considerably better than harbor freight, it has a very nice (finer) adjustment, the finer adjustment makes it easy to paint with out getting any runs. It is a much finer spray than you would get out of a rattle can.

Cover fit on & came off well, a nice gun for the price.

It was also easy to take apart & clean.

The paint i was using is a very easy to use & spray on, it makes the amature look like a professional.

It is a three part enamel with a hardner

First thing i said after i finished was, "Wow!! Did i do that!!.

Re: 67' C10 Build V8 Conversion & 700r4 trans

Don't look at me, the spray gun and the paint is fool proof.

It did come out very nice.

I think the Sata spray guns are $250.00+ to $400.00+, I did not want to spend that kind of many, since i dont paint very often.

The one i got, the europro is actually considered a high end, in a few of the sites i went into.

But not as good as the really good ones, like the sata that you can have for a lifetime, and use often, painting everyday with it.

Re: 67' C10 Build V8 Conversion & 700r4 trans

Thanks 67cheby,

OK today i checked on my Powder paint guy,
He hasn't started yet.

But he said that they were going to start on my stuff today, hopefully.

But ECE is going to ship the last of my order. Got the UPS Tracking No.

And My Transmission is being held locally (they called to confirm delivery) until Monday when they will deliver it to my house.

NICE!!!!!!!
NICE!!!!!!!
NICE!!!!!!!

I have scheduled my time this weekend, (If i am feeling better) to clean the rest of the Frame, and Paint it. I hope it will come out as good as the firewall.

I still have to order a Distributor, Coil, Water Pump, Long or short I dont know.
