How's the build coming along? I enjoy reading, then re-reading, then re-reading, then...

Though I must admit I miss the big, blue, blazer.

I have a idea of one thing he's been up to, just can't share, he'll have to post a pic. Then yall can give him a hard time, lol. Nope, not Blazer or even Chevy related, lol. Fun though, I've had one.

vtblazer · 01-13-2010, 07:07 PM

Okay, okay already...

60'x40' ice rink for the family.

Wildstreak · 01-13-2010, 07:31 PM

thats awesome!! my dad used to do that for me when i was a kid, great memories will be made!

**lks dcvn** · 01-13-2010, 07:35 PM

Nice! That should be fun for a few months - enjoy!

hgs_notes · 01-13-2010, 07:36 PM

Excellent, we've knocked the idea around for a rink at our house too, but never did. Too many trees in the way.

Chevyman63 · 01-13-2010, 08:04 PM

Very nice job Kurt!!

Big J · 01-13-2010, 09:13 PM

That looks like a blast. I'd bet money you've had the rc trucks on it too, I know I would. I was referring to your recent aquisition.

OH NO! Don't tell me he did it, I guess we will just have to wait and see

Chevyman63 · 01-13-2010, 09:58 PM

Yup...he did!

1949gmc · 01-13-2010, 10:31 PM

that IS AWESOME!!! So, tell the truth..... are you getting your arse kicked out there?? I hate it when the kids get better than me at something.

my67chevytruck · 01-13-2010, 11:55 PM

Not quite yet, both kids are first year players and still learning...pops shear size still dominates but it's a workout to keep up I'll tell ya!

One of the best things I've ever built to be honest, real family fun.

*Yes to the R/C trucks but as for the other 'recent aquisition'...ya lost me.
However it's reffering to the heep...then it's a no.

HA - you were talkin' about the heep but I fooled ya!

True though...what ever time that has been spent 'out in the shop' hasn't been spent on the K5.

vtblazer · 01-14-2010, 09:01 AM

Back on track...

Did some trading and picked up a set of Sanderson block-hugger headers, along with a set of 2" lift 56" long Sky-Jacker springs for the rear which should net me a 6" total lift in the rear.
(no pics of those, still need to pick em up)

jaros44sr · 01-14-2010, 02:30 PM

Wow, those headers look like a perfect match and clearance, nice work! Clears the frame nicely.

What's next on the list to do? How was your clearance on the oil pan with the DIY crossmember?

Jtrux · 01-14-2010, 03:19 PM

Do you think you would have any clearance issues if your motor was in the stock location?

Posted a pic of the cross member awhile back, it's close but it clears fine.

Yes, check back a page or two and you'll see all the evidence, both the dizzy & the vavle covers were closer than I would of liked.

Plus, by moving the motor forward an inch & the tranny cross member rearward an inch & a half, both the drive lines are close enough to the same length to afford having to carry only one spare drive shaft cause it will replace either front or rear.

Remember, the 700r is 2.5"s longer than a stock th-350.

Pics of the cross member & the valve cover clearance:

Big J · 01-14-2010, 08:29 PM

Yeah, I was talkin' about the heep. Gotta love a heep, lol. Ur progress is lookin' good.
