Well i have finally ordered my flywheel adapter stuff. I got the Advanced Adapters kit. Hope it will be here next week. Thats about all. Have pretty serious wiring problem with burb right now i am trying to figure out. My head lights dont work some times. Kind a big problem i guess. Will let yall know when it gets in.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
 

did you check your switch?

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
 

Yes i did. Even replaced it. Have no power going in to the cab other then the main ignition wire. The hot wire that goes from switch to where ever it comes from is dead. Am going to look at it today.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
 

Fixed up some of my getto wires from po last week. My lights still work. Hade a few tape connections and them wire nut connections. Replaced with good soild butt connectors. Had no probs in 2 weeks. Best of all it still starts.:lol:

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
 

Also will be placing angry phone call to the place i got my engine from in morning. They said they had starter for me a few weeks ago and they will not answer my emails now. Starting to think they trying to shaft me. If they dont get it to me i will be letting the ebay/paypal people know about it.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
 

I am getting a little side tracked with trying to paint parts of my truck. Was started as a "cheap" simple paint fix. Well like 70 bucks in paint and 300 in tools later i have driver side rear silver area done. Kinda doug into my motor money. Trying to stay on track. Hope i can get it all together soon so i can mill heads flat and install new cam and throw that sucker in. Befor summer is over. Cant wait to see yours in and see how well they run with carb. Will deff light a fire under my can.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
 

Goodguys is coming to town in October. I'm shooting for having my truck ready...and enter it in the autocross.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
 

Holy moly goodguys. Love that show. My wifes 68 gmc won young guns in colorado a few years ago. May have to make it to that show.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
 

MSD box got in and placed order for mounts and throttle bracket today. Mounts and bracket shold be here on the 16th. YAY only headers and intake left. And small stuff. Still need to find headers. Any ideas?

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
 

you sure the stock manifolds won't work for a temp setup? I'm thinking of running mine until I can aford to buy the exhaust I wan't.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
 

They will work but will have to shave some off frame. Not really wanting to do that. I only have one of them too. I really want long tube but no one makes them. If some one i corona californa would call the big manufacrer there they would get a free set. Not sure what one is there. But 0 companys make them for now. Shon with DT will not even answer question about them i asked a few weeks ago.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
 

seems like a mid length from another vehicle would work. Hedman makes some, probably would just need to find the design specs to see how long etc. to try and find a fit.

I had '70-'77 SBC f-body headers on my truck when I put in the SBC. If I had to do it again with the LSx (and I do :lol:)...I'd probably try a set of those vs getting the DT's with the too small for a big head 6.0/6.2's....little 1 5/8" primary.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
 

With my luck i would get a set and they would not fit and the company would not take them back. Am hopeing someone comes out with set befor i need them badly. May just try the factory ones for now or sanderson makes a block hugger set they say SHOULD fit. But they are like $450 ceramic. But only like 13/4 tubes. This has ben the only prob so far.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
 

Got MSD box, motor mounts, throttle bracktes in mail. Am working out of town so have not seen the mounts and throttle barcket yet. :metal:
