Re: Engine/Trans Swap LQ4 - 4L80e into bone stock 1971 Chevy C20 camper special

Ok, the truck is getting some love after like 5 years.

Pic of the painted fire wall.


The engine and trans are mounted and I started on the radiator and fan shroud install.
Not many seem to use the stock engine driven fan. I pick up a fan shroud on ebay for a newer C10 and it fits the larger 19.5 " fan. Working on hoses

Since parts are always slowing me down, I switch gears a lot and work on other items.
I got the hydro boost brakes installed and working.
Got the exhaust started, need to order more stuff.
Switch over to working on fuel, got some old gas lines out that went to the aux tanks. Looking for adapters to take every to -6 AN and use Aeroquip PTFE Racing, Braided Stainless Steel. Pick up an inline pump bracket from a 1986 Ford Bronco at the junk yard. They hold the pump and keeps it quite and its easy to convert to -6 AN.
