85 burb meets 6.0 lq4 - Page 14 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

85burb · 11-24-2010, 12:21 AM

YA i figured they would be the best ones for me. They can move forward one inch and back 2 i think. They have great welds and the name carved in them looks great. I have the manual but i think it is not a tq to yeald type bolt. Think it is reusable. Think it is a re branded ARP. Hope to install pushrods and bolt this week end. Also going to install the intake and hope to order most of the rest of the parts i need.

68GMCCustom · 11-24-2010, 12:26 AM

the specs I'm talking about are in ft. lbs.

85burb · 11-24-2010, 12:30 AM

It says to do 240 with old bolt, take old out then go 37 plus 140 degress. Do i still follow that prosses with new bolt even if it is reusable?

85burb · 11-26-2010, 06:49 PM

Well got some time to pay with motor today. Installed push rods, starter, headers, intake, finger tight balancer bolt. Cant wait to get rest of stuff.

y5mgisi · 11-27-2010, 03:28 PM

Man thats sexy!!! Any ideas on an updated date for instalation?

85burb · 11-27-2010, 06:34 PM

Hope to have rest of stuff ordered by end of november. Then i will just need time and place. No set date yet.

68GMCCustom · 11-28-2010, 11:01 PM

you ever get a set of exhaust manifolds? I thought my LY6 manifolds fit fairly tight...until I saw some TrailBlazerSS manifolds. Funny thing......I plan on putting headers on our TBSS, had I of done it already...I would have had a set laying around!

85burb · 11-28-2010, 11:44 PM

No have not found a set. Montez said he would give me some next time he was coming to tyler but have not heard or asked him again. I did see that tbss maniflod thread. I wanted a set of maniflods LY6 he had. I guess i am still in the market for some.

68GMCCustom · 11-29-2010, 12:06 AM

So you're looking for LY6 manifolds?
I just happen to have a set! Only "slightly" modified

So how slightly modified are they. I mean do they still hold in the exhaust and what you want for them.

68GMCCustom · 11-30-2010, 12:39 AM

I ground on the passenger one under port #2 and the most to the exhaust flange. I'll have to get pics...but if you look at this one you can tell where I had to grind off to make it fit. It still has at least 1/4"-3/8" sealing surface all around the center.

oh...and there cheap!

85burb · 11-30-2010, 01:07 AM

Got some junk ordered today. MSD plug wires, alt pig tail, and EGR block off plates. Will call s&p and order sensor adapters tuesday. All that leaves it oil change stuff and i think that is about all i need.

68GMCCustom · 11-30-2010, 01:22 AM

I think all my stuff is either here or on the way...except for driveshaft which is being built.

85burb · 11-30-2010, 01:30 AM

I will be using stock drive shaft for a while

. Next on list is everything that may or maynot break after engine swap is compleat like transfer case and rear/front end.

85burb · 11-30-2010, 01:32 AM

Just a thought it may be one of the best sleepers in my town. Who would think a 85 4x4 burb would be packin such a bad motor. Will deff suprise some people. I already get the "why are you putting that motor in that truck....It blongs in a camaro or something like that" talk.

All the more reason to put it in the Suburban.

85burb · 12-01-2010, 12:01 AM

I need some help finding the oil cooler bypass that goes on the oil pan over the filter. I can not find one that does not have a hole in it for a sensor. I want to use the one with no hole to put my oil sensor in factory location.

68GMCCustom · 12-01-2010, 11:28 PM

Just plug it for now? The way I see it with mine....I'm to the point of "lets just get it going...I can always upgrade later"!

85burb · 12-01-2010, 11:32 PM

I want to find a block off plate with no hole in it. So i can use sensors in factory locations. Cant find them anyware.

Got mounts painted and bolted on. I forgot my tape measure so they are not in the right place yet. Just wanted to see the movment that have avalable. I do think these will work great. Sorry for crappy pictures not sure what happened.

85burb · 12-13-2010, 10:40 PM

Got my show quality racing steam pipe adapter.

Also ordered 2 V band clamp assembles. All i need is to get off my lazy can and get my fuel system finished up and get coolant and oil psi adapters.

68GMCCustom · 12-14-2010, 12:35 AM
