Thank you mud man

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Got around wrapping up the rear axle . I touched up the POR15 Silver areas I installed new stainless tub bolts and finalized the brake assembly, installed the brake pads. still amazes me the hole system works. From a Frankenstein mess of parts, No assistance from a specialized team one man show

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Absolutely. Something to be proud of. Parts from all over and now they look like they belong.

When you say tub bolts do you mean like at wheel tubs? If so, all good.
Reason I ask is that Jeep guys call the main body "the tub" and I'd be concerned if you used SS bolts at body mounts. I have some on the core support of my Cutlass that I re-did the front end on a long time ago and learned I need to replace. I didn't realize at the time that the stainless bolts were not up to the strength of chassis bolts.

pics of the final assembly. Brake pads are in there really easy to install or remove there only held by the side studs on the caliper torqued to 40NM. Im going to keep that rear stance as it tucking nicely and still have like 2'' of travel before bottoming out

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Thanks. Yes the wheel tubs, I applied a bit of anti seize I know that Stainless bolts can bite in and be difficult to remove.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Top got done, new knock censors and harness

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Cool pic with the boys, engine looks great...Jim

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Thank you Jim

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Very clean! Looks great Alex!

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Any new updates? This thing should really get some attention at the Brothers shows!

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Oh ya!!!!

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Great looking install!

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Thanks everyone, it’s appreciated.
Progress is slow I only get to work on it on sundays. I did manage to align the alternator and space out the water pump cover. I also installed the alternator bullet pulley, and I installed an aluminum coil pack frame and the spark plugs

Here’s pic of the alternator spacing with new pulley

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

I need to finalize the intake manifold, Il be painting it cream tone and change the the throttle body to a Holley 92mm and change the bottom seals and a new throttle link bracket form lokar

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

I was contemplating a fabricated aluminum intake manifold like the Holley sniper, but that would require more mods to install a throttle bracket this had to be done secured bullet proof status and it would require that I redo my fuel delivery up to the fuel rails, at this point I’m done chasing out problems finding solutions to custom fit applications.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Here are the components for my rebuild of the manifold.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

You should chrome out the alternator. They can be taken apart easily.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

here with the painted manifold and new throttle body.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Before and after

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

The color tone got lighter after it fully dried. I will be doing my interior door panels and seats this color Santa Fe

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Your truck will be so beautiful you may not want to drive it, but sure hope you do....a lot.
Really coming along nicely, appreciate your attention to detail.
Mudman.
