So now we can finally place the radiator/electric fans in the engine compartment for the last time, and bolt it into place.

Re: My New Truck
 

Since the radiator is in, now I can start reassembling the front end!

Re: My New Truck
 

That looks slicker than baby snot on a brass doorknob!

Re: My New Truck
 

I love the clean work getting done on this thing :cool:

Re: My New Truck
 

This last batch of photos/updates makes your engine bay look SO clean and factory fresh. I like it... alot. Maybe that's why they call you Factory Guy.

Re: My New Truck
 

Thank you!

Re: My New Truck
 

So now the 51 Year old Squarebody now has a Fuel injected engine and she runs!

Video says PRIVATE

Re: My New Truck
 

x2.

Can't view it because of the settings.

Re: My New Truck
 

You'll have have to set your video's settings to ether public or unlisted for us to be able to see it. Unless you can figure out how to share a private video I have never done it so I don't know how it works on those.
Unlisted usually is the best way to go if you want to share a video but don't want it coming up in the YouTube search results.

Re: My New Truck
 

Thanks for the heads up! Sorry about that, I just fixed it.

Re: My New Truck
 

Fired right up! Sweet

Re: My New Truck
 

Video worked.
I know you mentioned & swapped the cam but I never noticed the details/specs regarding your choice. What did you go with?

Re: My New Truck
 

Sorry i got busy building the engine and the truck never got around to putting up the cam. Cam shaft is the TRUE SLOPPY stage 2 cam from Matt Happel. He has kinda pioneered dropping LS engines into about everything and then racing them.

Its a moderately priced cam. You can read more about it in the link below. Warning it you do a camshaft like this you WILL need a stall converter!

Chev Gen III/IV (LS Series) 3-Bolt '97-Present
Adv. Duration: 283/286
Duration @ .050": 228/230
Lift: .585/.585
Lobe Separation: 112 LC

If you run this can you do not need to change the pushrods. Only the valve springs need to be changed to the PAC1218’s.

Re: My New Truck
 

Hopefully in the next several weeks i will post up the cold air intake as it is done (just havenÂ’t gotten to posting it.

Re: My New Truck
 

Ok, on the cold air intake here is what I did. I took the factory Silverado air box (2001-2007). And I just modified it. I took off the outside cold air intakes where the Silverado would get its cold air from. I plugged those as the stock Silverado cold air intake tubes popped right out. I had some old gm plastic parts laying around, so i cut the up to fill these old Silverado cold air intake tubes. Baking soda and SUPER GLUE make a real good filler/glue for this (albeit messy).

If you’re wondering why i just didn’t cut a hole in the rad support. That isn’t going to happen, as my rad support was in perfect condition after 50 years so I am not going to cut it up. So instead i will punch a hole in the aftermarket inner fender liners.

Re: My New Truck
 

So i just went to my local metal dealer and bought 4” aluminum tubes 24” long. (Didn’t really know how much I needed). I reset the air box in the right front corner of my Squarebody and after a lot of measuring and calculating i took the 4” hole saw and punched a hole in the bottom of the air box. I then used little “L” brackets to mock up where i wanted the tube. The bolts were later removed so air flow would not be restricted.

In the air box and on the outside of the air box any gaps i filled with a silicon type of caulk to make sure only the air outside the engine compartment is getting into this air box.

Re: My New Truck
 

For some reason this silver tube picture won’t save in the previous file.

Re: My New Truck
 

Not having much luck uploading photos tonight. Heres a few more.

Re: My New Truck
 

Here's some more of the air box...

Re: My New Truck
 

For the intake tube I used standard 4" aluminum tube from the local metal dealer. I scuffed it up real good with a scotch brite pad then painted it with some Duplicolor Truck bed liner. Nothing fancy here.

Re: My New Truck
 

I think it came out really nice!
