Re: 1971 Stepside LS Build
I've been keeping an eye on your build. Nice job and looking good. Any progress is some progress. Hard to keep motivated some times I know. Now that your engine fired up is a huge milestone. Keep plugging and you'll get there. I think the thing for me is I have to set goals on my end result or I'll never get there. My build could go on like owning a house... Constant work that never ends.
On another subject I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on my AC mount and compressor for my 5.3 LM7. I was planning to use Vintage Air's truck adapter bracket made by Kwik because it allows me to use the SD-709 compressor. According to VA they found that the SD-508 compressors in this configuration had an odd sounding harmonic hum to it. I see you went with the Dirty Dingo AC mount that uses the SD-508 compressor. That setup looks really nice. Hopefully you have no weird humming noise from the compressor. VA said no problem with performance, just the weird hum to it. Keep that in mind when you get to that point and let me know how it works out (if you remember). Good luck.
