Re: 1970 Med Olive Project
I finished plumbing the brakes today. Baby steps lately but I can check this off of my punch list.

Re: 1970 Med Olive Project
The last of my Holley Brackets showed up today. I had originally intended on keeping the truck brackets and intake but now I'm going with the Holley bracketsand an LS3 intake. Now if I could find some time to work on the truck that would be great.

Re: 1970 Med Olive Project
Today is a happy day for me. My 66 Chevelle that I have been working on for the last 2 years finally left for paint today. It has been on hold for over a year while I was trying to find someone I trust to paint the car. It has been a nightmare and I didn't think this day would ever come. This meant I needed to move some stuff around today, so the C10 chassis saw daylight for the first time as a true roller.

Re: 1970 Med Olive Project
Good looking parts and nice work on the brake lines! Congratulations on finding a body and paint shop for your Chevelle. I agree, the chassis looks good sitting out.

Re: 1970 Med Olive Project
Love the Chevelle Mike, someday I'll have a 70 as it is my all time favorite muscle car. There expensive though, so I'll be saving my pennies for a while

Re: 1970 Med Olive Project
Man these tanks are cool pieces. I wanted to raise it in the chassis and Todd (Shores6) hooked me up with these Energy bushings. Thanks brother!

Re: 1970 Med Olive Project
I also test fitted the Holley brackets. I'm impressed how nice they look. I think we all want a vintage air front runner or a Billet Specialties Tru Trac but I can't justify 2 grand for an accessory drive. This stuff is perfect for the price!

Re: 1970 Med Olive Project
are the boyd racing tanks designed to go on top of the frame, or is that just what you are doing with a lowered truck?

Re: 1970 Med Olive Project
The holidays are over, it's time to get my butt back in the shop and get to work. We got the Transmission finished up yesterday. I probably should have went with a 4L80 but I had a 4L60 core given to me. I spent some $$ to beef it up. 5 pinion planetary, higher capacity 3-4 drum with better clutches, Kevlar bands, hardened sun shell, 300m input and a Transgo HD shift kit. It should hold up just fine at my power level even though I tend to beat on my stuff pretty hard. I also got a precision 3200 converter. The transgo recalibration kit eliminates the pulse width modulation.
This was an early 4l60 and I'm working out the little details as far as flywheel spacing to the converter. I had to change the bellhousing and I ended up with with a 4l80 flat flexplate with a spacer. I had to open up the converter mounting holes on the flexplate a little as well. There are so many variations of the 4L60 it will make your head spin. If I had hindsight, I would have just bought a new gearstar level 4 and been done with it. My son cleaned everything up tonight and painted it. Things should start moving at a faster pace soon. Once we get the engine/trans in and verify pinion angles, I will order my driveshaft. I plan to finish plumbing the fuel system and trans cooler and building the exhaust next. Then it's time to start swapping the body over to this chassis.
