I was going to order a new front bumper from Brothers, anyone have any comments on fitiment, quality, etc? Any other brand you would suggest?

Thanks,

BigShoe24 · 11-29-2010, 06:00 PM

Here are a few pictures of where I am at. Pulled the LS1 and basically recouped my money. Ordered a brand new LS376 / 480 last week. Hopefully it'll be here for christmas if I'm lucky. Still got a lot of work to do, but at least it looks like a truck again.

Finally got here.....

Sorry the pictures are messed up, I tried way to many times to get them right.

Sweet man, its looking badass!!!

BigShoe24 · 02-04-2011, 12:20 AM

Thanks, hopefully it'll run strong. I figure with 480 HP and being quite lite it will. Might have to hang some lead off the back bumper!

Kewl, now install it this weekend.

Nova_Cobra64 · 02-04-2011, 08:57 PM

That's gonna be a sick ride. What are your plans for tail lights? My truck also has a shaved rear end with inset bullet style tail lights. It was done by the previous owner, and I'm not a huge fan of them and want to find something different.

I'll definately watch this build with interest as I just commited to a GMPP LS3/480hp as well today.

BigShoe24 · 02-09-2011, 11:55 PM

Need to pick up a few more bolts for connecting the converter to the flex plate. Does any recommend using lock washers, or just loctite? Also, any suggestions for converter fluid? Thanks

BigShoe24 · 02-13-2011, 08:13 PM

Motor fits very well. Installed converter then dropped in the motor. Once all the bolts were nice and snug I went to go bolt up the converter to the flex plate. When I checked it out it had perfect clearance, about a 1/16". Hopefully I can get some headers picked out soon. I will be ordering the Concept One accessory set, and a computer from Speartech very soon.

Any word on the Doug Thorley "big tube" headers. From what I've read I should try to run at least a 1 & 5/8" header.

jasonhall · 02-13-2011, 10:10 PM

looks real nice!

mooseknuckles · 02-13-2011, 10:41 PM

that's sick man!

skoffice · 02-22-2011, 01:42 AM

Dudee... SICK truck! I like everything you've done so far. What are you gonna do for brakes and booster? That firewall looks too clean to mount anything on!

BigShoe24 · 04-19-2011, 07:34 AM

Skoffice - I'm running an under dash set-up, purchased from Scott's Hotrods. It's a really solid piece and I highly recommend.

I am about to start ordering brake components and was hoping for a little input as to proportioning valve, fittings, etc.

I have a 7" booster and CPP master cylinder under the dash, break like bulkhead with -3 inlets, wilwood calipers in rear that have 1/8"-27 NPT inlets, and will be ordering wilwood D52's for up front.

I would like to run all hard lines with four braided houses at each corner. Is Stainless pliable? What fitting and flares? Anyone have any suggestions from experience?

Thanks!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-22-2011, 11:15 AM

I myself cannot help you with the question but I am also getting ready to order break parts and am interested in what people are gonna recommend??
