Re: 1965 C10 - Turbo LS Ratrod

Before the engine went in i mounted the Radiator and built an aluminum combo tank. Closest to the front is the windshield washing resevior, middle tank with a sight glass is the coolant overflow and the farthest tank is the catch/breather can for the valve covers (it has a drilled plate dividing the breather filter from the inlets, and its jammed full of 316 stainless steel wool to trap any oil) After the engine goes in it is just a endless amount of fiddly small stuff. I rebuilt the drums and rear end with a detroit truetrac, 3.71 rear gear and some moser axles and mosers brace to help it live. And this is pretty much where i am right now. I have the electrical done, fuel is plumbed. I just need to prime the engine with oil, prime the fuel system. check for leaks. fill the coolant and power steering then start the engine break-in.
