If the motor has been sitting for longer than a few months, make sure you use a drill motor to spin the oil pump for a few min before firing it over to get the oil circulating. A friend of mine did not do this and he had a lot of valve knocking for about 2-weeks before it finally cleared itself up. He always wondered if any permanent damage was top to the top end.
Valve covers and brackets look great!

That's hard to do without taking off the intake...but thanks for telling me!

Guess I was thinking about Gen 1 SBC.

Separate Q:
Do you have any idea where the rear roll pan came from?
I'm finding them for pickups but I'm not sure it will fit on a suburban.

Yes I bought the one for my 72 burb from grant customs. Although on that one I had them put the section in it for a tag. Not cheap though about $300 shipped

**Hart_Rod** · 06-23-2015, 03:42 PM

Looking forward to seeing what you do with this.

logansdad · 06-25-2015, 04:58 PM

Pictures with the headers on and most of the wires cleaned up.

I finally got the lt1 to run. The street and performance harness had two wires off going into the ecu. What a pain to track down. I have to now get the ecu reflashed for the mods I did.

**Advanced Design** · 06-25-2015, 07:53 PM

That looks good!

logansdad · 05-27-2016, 09:03 AM

working on it and removing the horrible bodywork

Glad to see you are working on it.....

logansdad · 05-27-2016, 12:56 PM

Having the lift makes this process a lot easier but the down side is finding all the problems from previous owners. How about this picture with the door measurement!!!

logansdad · 09-30-2016, 05:57 PM

Been working on it just haven't had time for pics so here you go. More pictures coming next week

I wouldn't advise doing this to two barn doors to anyone. One of the tougher parts of the build

**Advanced Design** · 11-06-2016, 10:45 PM

The firewall, paint and bling looks good.

mcmlxix · 11-08-2016, 01:03 AM

What about painting the lip of the wheel white? White wall look but less hassle....

logansdad · 11-20-2016, 03:18 PM

More pictures of the 23" lokar, digital dash, and some trick filler pieces for radiator to grill

**Advanced Design** · 11-20-2016, 04:41 PM

Great parts...did you fab the filler pieces?

logansdad · 01-06-2017, 04:42 PM
