Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
I’m also contemplating putting a serpentine setup on Belushi to downsize the clutter on the front of the motor.

I also decided to clean, polish & wash the underside of the hood and install new hood insulation. |

I also decided to install the rear wall carpet piece. I don’t really care for it, but maybe the little extra insulation factor will make it quieter inside?

I like both. I went with something a little different. I saw this and wanted it ever since. Got it after the OEM hood was painted.
I had the cardboard tool tray, but I carpeted over it. It seemed like it made the cardboard tray a bit more durable. |
Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
I ordered up an Eaton posi and an aluminum diff cover today. Hopefully, I get them installed next weekend.

Got the posi, diff cover...& a matching set of valve covers. I’ll start the install of everything this weekend. Hopefully, I’ll be laying down two fat black lines by Sunday.

Well, I ended up with a pretty serious mishap. My differential that I ordered showed up, but.... It is the wrong one. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the differential until after I’d disassembled the rearend. The packing list says it’s for an 8.5”, but the new differential is an 8.2”. I’m dead in the water :whine:

Worst part is that the lift is tied up until I get the diff installed. I was going to get the diff in today and then get started on swapping out the transmission in Martha tomorrow... |

They are shipping a Yukon Duragrip posi next day air and giving me a substantial refund due to time lost.

Well, it did show up as promised and It’s the correct part. :metal: But I have my Falcon on the lift because I’ve got to get the trans pulled out of it. Hopefully I’ll finish pulling it tomorrow night after work. Then I’ll start back on Belushi. To many PROJECTS!!! |

I couldn’t STAND it. So I finished up installing the diff tonight. Ended up having to ‘shim’ up the pinion a tiny bit as it was a bit sloppy (&it needed a new seal anyway). It is quiet as a mouse, but no more right tire spin from a stop. I didn’t do any touch up painting as I was just amped up to get it back running, but here’s a shot. I promise that I’m going to clean it up paint the housing this weekend

Started the install of the new valve covers today.
|
Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
Valve covers are finished. I’m going to take it out for a drive tomorrow and if I don’t have any leaks... burnout will follow soon.

I got the valve covers on last week, but I just didn’t like the idea of having to fill the oil through one of the small original holes. So, I snatched the passenger side valve cover back off and installed a cool little aluminum fill tube/cap. Marked my location, Bored a hole and drilled and tapped the 3 holes to hold the piece in place. I like it much better now.
Before pic for reference and one now... |

The valve covers look better to me than the junky black stamped steel ones, but still blend in well.
