curious on why you like my assembly better?

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
 

I got to say i am more then impressed with psi harness! it is all plug and play, and they even offer a cruise control pigtail now which i got! About 4 foot of length left off the back i could put the computer any where in my cab.

Got the np205 shift linkage all fabbed up last night, and works pretty good. Also i added a stiffener to the rear housing of the trans to the shift bar mount. Pretty stable now.

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
 

Well maybe not "better" but if I was going to install in a non efi tank I would use the tanks inc assembly like you did.

Lance do you mind snapping a picture of the area where the factory AC would mount?

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
 

Im real happy with it. Easy to setup and install.

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
 

I had the same plans as you until I seen wasted income's 69LWB build. A buddy of mine used the same assembly as you for a TBI set up a few years back. good quality from what I remember.

I am jealous with your build.....I keep getting pulled away for other things and haven't been able to work on my project. So its just order parts until I run out of money. Which should not take long!!!lol!
Right now time is not my friend!!!

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
 

Sitting at a meeting right now, but ill get ya one tonight. I was hoping to use the factory a/c myself, but i think it might be to much to clear. I would really like to no how crash did his. He doesn't have to many pictures to piece it together. Here what i got, the blacks what will still need to be cleared, and the reds what would have to be put back in

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
 

How funny I am in a meeting myself! damn job getting in the way of my hobbies!!!

Thanks for the pictures I will try and find a picture of my C10 when I built it. I didn't put together a build thread for it.... wish i did

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
 

Yea they always got to be in the way! Well thanks! I just looked at crashes im fighting more then him, on my compressor i had to can coming off where as he just had regular line :smoke: bummer. Guess ill be looking for lines now.

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
 

Lance, this is the option that worked for me. Look for the truck repo bracket for LSX.

Well getting closer to firing it up, and since my computer isnt going to get flashed till next week thought id find a way to mount it. Made a holder for it

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
 

My headers showed up today!!!!!!!!!11:metal: well one of them............ I opened up my box today and only one headers was in there. There is parts for two headers though. I called jegs and a lady told me the there should be two, and i told her no ****. Told me the company would give me a call monday. oh well. The one headers was the one i needed to find out if it would pass between my crossmember and hydraulic slave. I had success! It looks great but im nervous about the passenger side with coming to close to the starter. You would think that they would be smart enough not to screw that up, but then again they only sent on header haha.

How does the clearance look between the front punkin and the crossmember?

I keep going back and forth on LSX or something far more inferior because of the need to swap the crossmember and add a lift etc really inflating the budget

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
 

Nice work and those headers look great!

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
 

Those headers, I mean header... do look pretty stout. I hope the passenger side works as well as the drivers. What is the part number for those? I'll add them to my headers write-up as another option for us swappers with hydraulic clutches.

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
 

You dont have to worry mine is completely stock and have quiet a bit of space between. If you plan on buying a crossmemeber id buy dirty dingos or build one. I wish i would have, pacific fabs had multiple things wrong. I guess mine did.

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
 

Sounds good when you get time while the body is off I'd like to see a picture of you don't mind

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
 

The one with the crossmemeber and pumpkin theres about 4 inches between.

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
 

Got the transmission tunnel together looks good i think! haha

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
 

Alright guys need some help. My cabs pretty beat to crap, and i dont feel like monkeying with it. Floors rusted out, covered in rhino line, back off it it beating in. I was hoping someone would no where I could buy a donor truck? I would appreciate the help. Im in south dakota but i like taking trip ha. Thanks for the help!

Re: 72 chevy modern swap

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
