That's kind of what I was wondering also. Wasn't sure if solid mounts alone would be enough to keep from flexing

69trk · 10-12-2015, 01:31 PM

Changed my mounts to solid..

boostedc10 · 10-12-2015, 03:09 PM

You may still want to get some braided pipe in there somewhere. You will still have movement without a motor plate and chasing hot pipe cracks later wont be fun.

Just want to see you enjoy it!

69trk · 10-12-2015, 06:40 PM

Been reading alot about it... think I'll be fine..buddy doing the work has done alot of turbo builds without flex pipe and has had no problems on any of them... plus I've read were flex has blown or came apart.. I'll keep reading

Like I said it's just my 2 cents. I have done a ton too and rarely see any fix mounted setups work well in a driver.

In the end it's your build and I'm not trying to take away from it. I'm sure you have a lot of time in it and look forward to see another boosted c10!

69trk · 10-12-2015, 07:29 PM

Been reading alot on yellowbullet. Some are saying the joints come apart and total the turbos... but some say they haven't had issues.... I'll take any advise I can.. all new to me.. builder says it will be fine, if not he stands behind his work....guess we will see

prostreet1967 · 10-12-2015, 07:38 PM

Got any more pics?
I think I'm gonna brace mine off head. Maybe u will have some street time on urs by then.
There are certain flex joints that work well can't remember what brand but have seen a few come apart

69trk · 10-12-2015, 07:46 PM

I'll be getting more pics..just ordered all the cold side and downpipe stuff...

69trk · 10-23-2015, 06:05 PM

Downpipe and cold side about done..

69trk · 10-23-2015, 06:06 PM

Couple more...

69trk · 10-23-2015, 07:21 PM

Few more

Heavymetl · 10-23-2015, 09:26 PM

Lookin' good! You're gonna love the turbo LS. I couldn't be happier with mine. It's unbelievable the torque they make once on the boost.

1moretoy · 10-24-2015, 11:45 AM

Looks good can't wait to see the finished product. Also if the Trubo is fixed to the frame and the motor has rubber mounts something will crack fast.

69trk · 10-24-2015, 11:53 AM

They are solid mounts....thanks

Someone is a little late 2 the party. We already had that discussion a few posts back!

prostreet1967 · 10-24-2015, 09:53 PM

Looking good. How much u have invested in downpipe? What hangars did u use

joey8383 · 10-25-2015, 12:28 PM

Nice!!

mcbassin · 10-26-2015, 07:59 AM

Very nice progress!

**Hart_Rod** · 10-26-2015, 08:51 AM

That's gonna be a BEAST!

boostedc10 · 10-26-2015, 04:46 PM

Man how did i miss the beer koozie in the grill and on the firewall mod! Best part of the build so far!!

Haha jk, the turbo setup looks good 69trk!

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-26-2015, 09:00 PM

Very nice! I really like the welding and fabricating he's doing!

67chevy1series · 11-04-2015, 08:28 PM

I see you used the POL tubular motor mount stands with the LS, how far is the engine sitting (forward/back)? I'm looking to out a LS in my 67 and I currently have those tubular engine stands, wondering which mounting postion brackets I should buy to have your current position

I just bought the ones for a bigblock if I remember correctly.. then u bought the dirty dingo sliders so I wouldn't have to cut or change driveshafts... fully adjustable...nice pieces

Not sure on price of dp....all my parts came from racepart solutions.... could of saved some money using columbia river, but the customer service sucked....lol

The whole hotside and cold side and downpipe and 2 jgs wastegates then paying a friend to custom build it all was right at $4500....ouch.....

jgh64pkup · 11-05-2015, 07:06 PM

Exactly what I want to build. Did you end up changing the cam?
