Re: 70 c10 project

we had to lift the motor because the power steering bracket was bolted to the motor Mount
This is what I intend to do to the upper plenum and valve covers.

Re: 70 c10 project

We’re painting engine color between the fins on the Valve covers
The upper plenum and throttle body are on
This is a 58mm BBK throttle body (10mm bigger than stock) It should complement my 24lb/hr injectors and adjustable fuel pressure regulator nicely.

Re: 70 c10 project

We bought some 3.5” pipe and cut holes in the crossmember
Then welded the pipe in to tuck the 2.5” duals above the frame

Re: 70 c10 project

We had issues with the ram's horns, with 2.5” pipe they wouldn’t clear the frame. So the easiest solution was to buy new header’s. These Stainless steel shortys are listed for a 70's F body.

We completely gutted the dash and wiring in anticipation of the new harness
Here’s how the motor is shaping up
