LMAO! Yeah, couldn't even get a good pic of my new front license plate because I'm parked too close to the bushes!

And everyone I've been on vacation, and still am, but back home. So if you understood that, that means I'm gonna have some time to work on it!! yeah yeah I know you want pics. Soon to come!!!

67chevy1series · 05-31-2011, 01:31 AM

yes! ya i know some days you just dont wanna do anything but goe inside and know that its on there or done !

slick copper · 06-01-2011, 02:25 AM

Ok, so here's some pics for you guys! Still putting the engine back together as you'll see, but making progress!
Got a custom made license plate made while we were down at Myrtle Beach. I saw this color and the bowtie emblem, and was trying to think of what to put on it like the year of the truck and maybe my wife's and my names', and then she says "why don't you put Slick Copper on it?".

I was speechless. She's great isn't she? Here's the outcome. Looks great on the truck. I'll have to get it running again so I can back it out and get a good pic of it on the truck.

Been busy but going to work on it tommorow and see if I can't get everything buttoned up and see if it'll fire!! More pics, of course!

67chevy1series · 06-02-2011, 11:26 PM

well ghood luck wish i could be there with ya to see it and help! post up everything you take buddy!

slick copper · 06-11-2011, 07:21 PM

IT LIVES!!!!! BWAH HA HA HA!!!!

Ole Copper fired up today! I got some pics, but'll have to post 'em later! Got everything on the engine wired up, timed and gave 'er a crank and soon as she got gas she fired right up. Still, gotta get it timed just right, but man that HEI is a HUGE difference!
Now I'm trying to figure out the radiator. Bought a new one today via AutoZone, and it's the bigger four core radiator with built in tranny cooler. Which'll be nice, but trying to figure out how to make it fit, it's bigger than the original stocker. Was hoping to be driving it around by now, but guess I'm gonna have to wait. Anyone know an easy fix? Swap out brackets?

VA72C10 · 06-11-2011, 07:24 PM

Cool! Congratulations!!!

I cannot be 100% sure but you could should be able to use the 4 core factory upper and lower brackets.

Thanks! Yeah, that's what it's looking like. Also probably a new fan spacer as well, the fan is only 1/8 - 1/4 inch away from the new huge radiator!!

67chevy1series · 06-12-2011, 02:08 AM

So glad to get it running! Just ordered my new radiator support brackets from LMC truck. Couldn't find any used ones, so got new ones on the way! I just pray they're of good quality! I think I'll have to post these pics on the straight six thread too!

slick copper · 06-13-2011, 01:10 AM

Took these today! Don't know if you noticed but it is turned around! Drove it up the street and back, but after it warmed up, it started running bad. Name: Photo0395.jpg

Still gotta figure some stuff out. It also was backfiring and would never get above 2000 rpm. Soon as it would it would choke out, backfire and idle back down. Agrivating! Played around with the timing, but never seemed to get it right. So even if I get it timed, I'm not sure that's the problem. I'm thinking it's about time for my intake, exhaust, and carburator. Maybe not though, anyone got an idea?

VA72C10 · 06-13-2011, 01:53 AM

Great job on the engine bay! I'd try to get it running better before swapping more out, because it's harder to diagnose once you have more things thrown into the mix. That being said, the carb could be one thing causing you issues...so it could end up being worth it to do the swap...

Well that cleared things up!

I know what you mean though, could cause me more trouble, but at least I could eliminate those things

VA72C10 · 06-13-2011, 02:01 AM

Glad I could help

slick copper · 06-14-2011, 05:08 AM

BTW someone told me it wasn't a good idea to have my glass fuel filter right above my exhaust manifold. It's not sitting right on it, it's about 2 inches up from it. Anyone think this is actually a problem? And why?
