Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
I think I am going to get some time next week to work on the truck. I did jack it up so I could run the fuel line but now have to run it in a differnt way. I really want to find a tank with a fuel pump already inside but for now i have an external.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
Hey Chevy Fleetside,
You are doing some really nice work! I kinda know what it's like since I'm doing a tiny bit of work to mine as I get time and $ to do it. I picked up a 454 & 049 heads last week, but don't want to make mine a non-runner to fit everything together. Guess I'll have to man up and do it soon. Keep up the (really) good work!

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
I put tranny fluid, power steering fluid, and coolant in the truck today and started it for the first time in over 6 years. The 89 BB had the lobe for a machanical fuel pump ( I put a q jet on it) and it works just fine. Oh did I mention I put fuel in it also..

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
I still need a side terminal battery and then I will tidy up the wires.. The yellow wire is the fuel pump wire which will not be used for that but maybe to power my power antenna.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
When I bought the first gallon it was GM Medium Blue. When I needed more it was a Safire Blue. Same color differnt name. At least I have the formula. The front acually has a Violet Pearl on it from the ghost flames.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
I was afraid that when I put the trans back together I didn't seat the band in properly. If so the trans would not shift. It kinda felt like the truck had drag.
So today I just said the heck with it and pulled it out of the garage (open headers and all) and just did a u turn at the bottom of the hill. It didn't shift in that small distance. I though ok going to have to pull the pan off the tranny. Well as I was coming back up the hill I gassed it and let off and as soon as I did that is shifted into 2nd. Yay... Now I just have to wait untill the end of the month to get my new Reg stickers. I already added it to my insurance. There is still alot of adjusting to do. it felt nice to drive it.. even if it was only 500 ft.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
I started it but have not had any time to finish it. The tank is going into my work truck. I am still thinking about where to put the straps. I might get some time to do it next week.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
The carb in the picture was the wrong carb. I acually sent it back and got the right carb for my application. It seems to work very well and I got it from Summit Raciing. I got the one with the electric choke. This one.. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/je...1/applications
