Mines not in right now until I get the frame cleaned up more and painted. I have my 87 tanks, senders, pumps, F.I. high PSI clamps, high psi. switching valve. etc. Just need the hose. I am thinking about running metal line with hose just on the ends but havent decided yet.

68GMCCustom · 02-15-2010, 01:47 AM

subscribed....this is the same swap I'll be doing.

STOCKISH · 02-16-2010, 03:12 PM

Finally made some progress worth reporting today. Got the frame cleaned and painted and the engine/trans in for the final time. Actually looks really good in there. Damn cold outside but worth the effort. Man I cant wait to get my harness and ECU back.

STOCKISH · 02-16-2010, 03:15 PM

Couple more.

mcbassin · 02-16-2010, 07:12 PM

Oh yea! Looking great!

menace121978 · 02-16-2010, 07:43 PM

Awesome! i can stare at those pics forever!

looks sweet sitting in there man. nice job on cleaning everything up and painting... well worth the extra time spent

did you say your exhaust manifold on the pass side fits? or did you notch the frame? i need to send my harness out also. working on the fuel stuff now. cant wait either!

Driveway Dreams · 02-16-2010, 07:46 PM

Looks killer man! That thing could not match any better in the truck. Very good work.

STOCKISH · 02-16-2010, 09:14 PM

Thanks for all the kind words fellas. Dennis, the manifolds fit just like Glocks. Just a very slight notch on the pass. side is all thats needed. Over all the fit is perfect. Getting very excited.

menace121978 · 02-16-2010, 09:18 PM

mine too... i havent touched(cut) the frame so far so i'm going to try the s&p's. i hope they clear the engine stand

STOCKISH · 02-16-2010, 09:24 PM

So you're not going to run the truck manifolds? I guess I'd rather have the headers as well but may do that later as money permits. I'm just glad to have it in the frame for good now. I wont complain either way.

menace121978 · 02-16-2010, 09:38 PM

i'm never happy

i think the best choice for what im doing is going to be headers. i love how they look!

STOCKISH · 02-16-2010, 09:41 PM

Yeah me too, just dont like the price so much.

I think I now understand a little more about you Dennis. Next time you want to do that, just fill my address in on the "Ship to:" area.

You just say that because now you get home before the wife can see what you bought.

lownfast · 02-16-2010, 11:42 PM

Looks right at home in there!!

lnwlfbsktbll · 02-16-2010, 11:59 PM

Great progress, wish mine was coming along as well.

glock35ipsc · 02-26-2010, 02:19 PM

RE: your PM......

Working on cleaning up the drawing in CAD. I'll post it later. But in this pic you can see the fuse block. The relay on the right side of it energizes the three IGN fuses (top 3), and the relay below it is the fuel pump relay.

EDIT - Here you go. Notice in the pic that there is a fuse just above the relay on the fuse block? That is a 3A fuse that is inline of the "12v KEY ON source". Use one or not, this is just how my fuse block was setup already.

***One thing to be VERY SURE OF...... regarding the "12v KEY ON source" wire. Be sure you verify that you have power not only with the key in the RUN position, but also in the CRANK position! When mine would turn over but not fire, that was the problem. I had power with the key on, but not while cranking. Found a wire that had power in both key positions, and it fired right up. Had me scratching my head for a day or two though!

STOCKISH · 02-26-2010, 03:28 PM

Thank you so much buddy. I appreciate it. Man it'd be nice if they put the fuse block on there for ya.

glock35ipsc · 02-26-2010, 03:34 PM

Heck, ask them, they just might. I have some, so I never thought to ask.

STOCKISH · 02-26-2010, 05:40 PM

When I asked Hannah, she said they didnt. I will just go find one somewhere with the relays and all. Unless you accidentilly drop one in the box with the gears.

Just kidding.
