Looks awesome Luke. I’m looking forward to seeing it around town and hopefully at LS Fest

Just awesome man! What are the specs on the exhaust pipes? Love the subtle factory style...

Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
The alternator wire isnr getting warm.is it? Hard to tell how beefy it is but I installed some stock Camaro e fans on a build and that wire happend to be to small. Another note, is that a new 4 core rad support bracket? If so where did you source it from?
Fantastic build! |

Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
luke,
Thanks again for sharing this build. I re-read the thread again:metal: & did not see what you did for your trans linkage? would you be willing to share how you connected the trans to the steering column (in relation to shift linkage)? Also I was wondering if you would share what wires on your firewall block (truck) you are using on the engine portion to the LS? I would like to know what wires you used from the truck part of the harness? thank you again & I am following along on the blazer build too!! ;) |

Luke, are the right angle hard lines part of the kit? I ask because the V/A installations I've done run the heater and refrigerant hoses through the firewall into the interior. An accident waiting to happen, IMO, especially with heater hoses. |
Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
Mike,
The V.A. "sure fit" systems includes everything needed to replace a factory A.C. system, so yes the right angle hard lines are part of the kit. I have the same version in my build & the 4 lines run through the firewall with a supplied cover plate. when I did my '72 I used a "universal" kit setup & I did what you have done, I felt the same way, although I did not connect the heater hoses (I'm in the desert and it was a show truck). I would feel comfortable to run them how V.A. instructs to do it. I feel V.A. is a quality system with many satisfied customers. I am on my second system personally & very happy. hope this helps.:metal: |

Been awhile so I thought I’d share a few updates. Swapped out the brakes to a new set up, changed to blue interior, manual T56 swap. More pic to come later today.

I'm doing an L86/8L90 swap in a 93 and an 84. In the 93 I used Dirty Dingo adjustable motor and transmission mounts and they worked out great. There's not issue with the tranny tunnel and the factory headers as well as the factory gear selector mechanism bolted right in. I also used the holley LT mid-mount setup and it looks great, pic included. Any suggestions on what brackets to use on the 84? Will any of them work with 8L90? Am I going to have to find a high hump transmission cover? Sorry for all of the questions, but appreciate any advice that you can pass on. Take care, Rob |
