Project El Viejito, '66 C10 LWB BBW Build

[19SIKtySix]

So last weekend had family come over and help, took a little work but the engine is in it's new home.

Had to switch the oil pan over to an F body oil pan and drill the hole for the oil dipstick tube. The thought of me drilling a hole in my new investment made me really nervous, but luckily everything worked out fine.





Had to make a little room in the engine bay and remove the exhaust manifolds, but it made for an easier time to install the engine/trans.

I had a CPP tubular crossmember but I switched it out for a tubular crossmember from GSI. Eventually this will be bagged, but even being lowered, I didn't want issues dragging the bolts to the crossmember.
