Project: Fireball 1974 Custom 20

[patbeard44]

Its been a really long time since i updated this thread, been busy with school and work but not too busy to get some work done on the '74

She sat outside for a couple months with new fenders from LMC



Until one day at school i bought this and it showed up a week later



Its a 6.0 LQ4 out of a 2002 silverado 2500



Replacing the old flexplate with a new Sachs flywheel



Mounted the SM465, just as much of a pain as it was with the orig small block



Got the motor mounted, using Car Shop Inc, which said they retained the original location but i came up about an inch short of the transmission crossmember and driveshaft, so moved the whole mount back on the frame and she sits in there just fine now



Got the intake off, going with a carb intake and a MSD 6010 ignition box. Also waiting on a Carter low pressure electric fuel pump and a bunch of the little stuff to make mechanical gauges work. Hopefully i'm not missing anything! Hope everyones likes it so far, feel free to tell me if im forgetting anything, cause i'm sorta out of my element with this no distributor-electric fuel pump kinda world
