The Holley 500 is an easy swap. If I can do it anyone can. You will need to get an adapter to bolt it in. I'll try to post some pics a little later.

Pulled the beds off the trailer flipped them over on a pallet and collected the money for one of them. Put them away and sprayed the bolts with rust penetrating stuff so I can pull the planks off later this week.

rearranged some of the pins on my engine harness and hooked the battery up to see if I could get her to turn. She turns over nicely. I need to get some new head lights and bulbs so I can check to make sure everything works.

Layed upder it for a while. Tried to figure out other ways to shorten the frame. Think I got carried away because the new plans are chopping it off behind the cab and fabbing up a new backhalf with C notches and bags. :metal:

Nice work Isaac. I'm really liking the 63 cab look. The knee knockers scared me away.

Mounted the transmission cooler and cooler lines. Then tried to make the kick-down cable reach and wished I could get it connected to the existing carb on the Inline six... Anybody have a turbo 350 behind a six cylinder and stock one barrel carb???
PLEASE send me a PM with how you hooked up the detent kick-down cable!!

Completed my carb linkage, put my driveshaft together and started it up- just to hear it run.

I have the same set up and can't get mine to reach. I'm still working on a solution.

replaced accelerator pump and it started and got me to a job and back home, still runs bad...bypass fuel pump with electric fuel pump to make sure it was not the problem....IT wasn't

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 
I put a new starter in today. I'm alittle scared though. I might have torqued the bolts just a little too much. So far it's workin great.

check for a vaccume leak.... try starting fluid rpms raise or wd40 rpms drop around the base of the carb and around the intake.

I took an extra day to clean it up and paint it. I installed it yesterday. Today will finish hooking it all up, detail wiring and such.

Went down to the DMV...and finally registered my truck....

The frickin 'Governator' took $226 of my hard earned money for that thing !!

And the tag is only good untill FEB !!

Man the lady at the counter real had a hard time...this truck came with the DMV paper all printed up from the guy.

However the OG owner donated to charity, then this guy bought it (owns a lot), then I got it.

So the pink was signed 3 times, we had 3 transfer forms....it had her going crazy !!

Now, I just got it get it running !!

So far...that little truck in my avatar has cost me $600 + $226 = $826 :lol:
