so, yes, you can complete 2 projects in the time it takes me to find time to drop my transmission, replace the slave cylinder fittings, remove the driver's side fenders (inner/outer), finish shaving the firewall, weld in the bracketry for my MC and fab up the pedals :) (PS - this entire weekend was spent landscaping and hanging cabinets ... fun stuff) |
Re: Killers 5.3L install
just got back from about a 700mi round trip to get the trucks puter edited...the pics are of killer being loaded ,the new exhaust, P/S lines fabed up,and arriving safely in OKC at Glen (crazy last name) ------------ski:lol: house... these pics are just things being edited in the pcm, like disable VATS, EVAP, rear o2's, speed limiter, shift points, shift firmness, idle speed, etc .........
i thought i would try my hand at dirrecting and make a vid..... and this is really the first attempt....as seen it just cranked a few time and ran.... i still have some tweeking to do before any dyno run, and finish the fuel fill, but all in all the truck is mobile... http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...r/100_3118.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...r/100_3119.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...r/100_3120.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...r/100_3121.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...r/100_3122.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...r/100_3123.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...r/100_3124.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...r/100_3126.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...r/100_3125.jpg |

Re: Killers 5.3L install
here is a list of things... i first made the actual hindge about .25 shorter by removing a section (neon green)...then trimmed the sides to fit inside the light houseing (red).... then added a piece of metal to look symetrical (pink)...then drilled 4 holes to do a plug weld to the light houseing (light green)...there is a bolt that interfeared with the closeing of the hindge that need to be clearenced for so i sloted a section for this (blue)....... then if you look close i had it arranged that the pivot point was higher in this pic then the final version....to lower the pivot point and use the same bracket i made, i simpily flipped the bracket over....

Re: Killers 5.3L install
killer 71,
that is a beautiful truck!!!. i hope i can ask you a few questions though. i am in the process of install a compac genII v.a. ac system in my '72. i am trying to mount my bulkhead fitting on the firewall. 1 question is how did you figured out the hole location in relation to the lines inside (from the unit) & the lines (outside) to the compressor & so forth?? also does your unit have a electronic heater valve, if so where did you mount it? i am trying to figure out if i want it to be in the cab or if it has to be mounted in the engine compartment? i am not sure how to run the htr control valve wires through the f/w without cutting a big hole for the fitting but neding only a small hole for the actuall wires???? thank for any help!! again great looking truck!! (my inspiration..) rodstored-72 |

Re: Killers 5.3L install
68 short step,
i guess i was wrong i thought it was "killers's" project - sorry... in any case i appreciate the time for the answer. i am wondering if by chance you would have a pic of the bulkhead from the cab side so i could see how you did it??? or could tell me what fittings (angle wise & to what) you used & where about you were able to "fit" the hcv inside the cab. i am trying to figure it out but am kinda stuck.... thanks again for your time... rodstored-72 |

Re: Killers 5.3L install
P.S. the engine cover will be painted with a killer scheme so the 6000 will be removed

Re: Killers 5.3L install
shortstep,
thanks!!! that does help (pg 13) that is exactly what i wanted to do. i just don't have the fab skills you do. i am wondering if you think that you might have any problems (water leaking - weather related) with a bolt hole(s) located in the cowl area??? i was going to try to mount the hcv just like you did but was (am) wondering about those issues?? any suggs??? also would you be willing to tell me what fittings you ran at the inside cab side of the bulkhead fitting?? and the conn. to the unit? thanks again for your time! rodstored-72 |
