Re: Killers 5.3L install
 
alright i got the engine/trans installed....also ran the wireing for the rear (tail lights, turn signals, fuel sending unit, and fuel pump) kinda hard to see, but its held on with .5 insulated cushin clamps below the fuel line.... i also used factory style quick-connects, again keepin with the factory wires colors where applicable... i kept the factory round connect at the very rear x-member... i still need to add the protective wire loom over the exposed wires at the fuel tank, i know...and just for visual progress i put the radiator support on, i need to wash it tho, its dusty....

killer71 08-17-2007 10:10 AM

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 
Rear disc came from classic performance, drop kit came from early classic....yea we're discussing the exhaust now...

That's the same brake kit I'm looking at for my '67, looks like it's a nice quality setup.

the only issue i ran into was the hard lines was for a 67-69, diffrent mounting location of the "T" that splits to each wheel, on line was to long, i had to cut it and reflair it... other then that... it was easy to put on... yes it included the new rear ebrake cables.. nice kit...
