First truck project! 89 Silverado 5.7 350 V8!
Hey guys, im pretty new been posting in the regular section about some general questions. Well im going to start a build thread. It needs "Alot of small stuff" lol. So i figure you guys can help . I got some pictures (Bottom). I got it from my neighbor. Hes a older guy that got a new 07 silverado so he had the 89 parked in the backyard for 4-5 years. The problem with it was it ran for a little bit then cut of when the motor got warm. There is no rust, except for one cab corner that i took a picture of, its not a big deal. Its not bad. Me and my dad bought it for $1000. Its easy a $2000 truck but thats why im friends with my neighbor . Im not sure what im going to do with it, but i know its getting a cherry red or rose paint job (even the gril). Im putting cherry bombs so theres ALOT to come. Let me know what you guys think would look good. Thanks
What ive done: Shampoo Seat and Carpet Washed Fix the engine (he cut off $500 from the price and it turned out to be a $15 part lol) Adjusted the headlights ALOT of little things need to be done but i will try to keep you guys updated!

Great project starter, until I saw the NE plate.
Local pick-a-part is where I'd look for that cap.

I bought a set of stainless shorties from ebay for $122 shipped and they fit in place of stock manifolds.

Re: First truck project! 89 Silverado 5.7 350 V8!
Stainless is better they hold up longer, but I do like long tube performance
Flows are still cool either way

Re: First truck project! 89 Silverado 5.7 350 V8!
agreed long tubes are great, and flows are good but cherry bomb extremes sound just as good and are cheaper, however the flowmaster 10's are stainless and they are only like $5-10 more a piece.
As for the rust on your radiator support, sand it down if you can and paint right away. That'll stop it or prolong the rust, maybe use some self etching primer first or epoxy primer, and if not maybe some undercoating or bed liner stuff? or just plain old brush on rustoleum.

Re: First truck project! 89 Silverado 5.7 350 V8!
True,true, and true I really like the 44s i can find anything that sounds like them
i had it on my 94 before i went to duals. I put a 3'' 21" cherry bomb glass pack on with it later on it was nice flow sound that was extra deep. But i put thrust welded on when i went to duals, they are only like 25 or so the sound is close to 40s, people ask if they are 40s

Re: First truck project! 89 Silverado 5.7 350 V8!
You might have clearance issues with long tube headers due to the manual tranny the clutch gets in the way on the passenger side, i had to bend my pipes a little id use shorties. Oh no another tapout fan...j/k

Re: First truck project! 89 Silverado 5.7 350 V8!
I did something similar with mine, I put them on before i put the motor in the truck. That doesnt work lol They only go on after the motor is in

Re: First truck project! 89 Silverado 5.7 350 V8!
buy long tubes that fit a stick shift. Most headers you buy say if they fit stick shift or auto only.
