Re: A '54 named Busty
Nice work on the LS swap, and the to do list is getting shorter.

Re: A '54 named Busty
forgetting to block off the brake booster vacuum port on the back of the intake is guaranteed to make a spectacular vacuum leak

soon we shall upgrade to power brakes for now this is just to ensure proper startability

Re: A '54 named Busty
Progress not perfection!

reluctantly I had to notch the upper radiator frame to move the radiator up a little bit for the upper rad hose to clear the top of the fan

Re: A '54 named Busty
I got some mystery lower radiator hose to work absolutely perfectly after trimming it a bit and installing the swivel thermostat housing/neck

Re: A '54 named Busty
I think the heat is getting to you, the upper hose shouldnt be plumbed to the oil fill, unless you are steam cleaning the inside.




your random lower hose looks a lot like the one I use on my swaps, same bends.


you can ship that intake to me and I PROMISE to forward it on.

Re: A '54 named Busty
alright then, but how do they fit?

well the passenger side just barely clears the frame, we are talking about 3/16ths of space

the driver side has a plenty of room

I don't usually do LS Swaps,
but when I do...
I prefer for it to be scorching hot!
