Re: Owen's C10

Looking good! One suggestion, from someone who has put a similar engine in and out of a 71 half a dozen times over the last few months... If you haven't done so already, check to see if your coil packs will fit and clear the firewall. Or, if you're swapping valve covers, you'll need to do that ASAP to see if they clear. I have a feeling you'll be moving your engine forward a few inches.

Thanks for the heads up! I plan on swapping to a different valve cover, and relocating the coils anyway, but yeah it's pretty tight. now I did raise the back of the trans up to correct the angle so that helped with clearance a little...not sure I can move the motor ahead because the oil pan will be into the rack and pinion...

Re: Owen's C10

Just looking at your pictures it looks like you will have room for the coil brackets if you chose to keep them on the valve covers. Maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part because you and I are running the same mounts and I hope to keep my coils on the valve covers Either way, all that orange looks awesome in there!

Re: Owen's C10

So I had to find some room somewhere...and I found it by drilling new holes in the PB motor mounts 3/4" ahead of the previous ones. that gave me just enough room, cause the oil pan would be into the rack and pinion...

Re: Owen's C10

I wasn't happy with the colour the v/c came in, it was close but not close enough, so I gave them a respray with chevy orange and a couple coats of clear. I liked the look of the script orange too so I left it..and it saved some time too.
