Re: '89 GMC C1500 build thread

Forgot to mention, I am waiting on the ram air kit for my hood to come in, looks like I am going to clear everything by a good 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. Went ahead and bit the bullet and ordered it and what I think I needed to make it work with my carb. Also bought what I needed to get my interior parts to match, I am going to be swapping out the 88-94 style dash I guess, but leave the old style column in for the sake of easiness of something in this project.

You deserve to have something go easy. Looking good man!

I don't mind things going rough or tough, but hey, if I can make it easier on myself, why not

Before I forget about what I modded to make the transdapt plate work.. On the clamshell mounts that used to bolt to the block, there is a raised triangle in the middle of them. I cut that triangle out because it made the mounts sit about 1/8th of an inch out on both sides, which made the motor mounts not line up with the clamshell mounts. They could have probably been heated up and beat flat, I didn't do it that way.
