Re: 72 K20 build thread, need good name
Again, too much time between posts. It's been a busy month with slow and steady progress. I got the intake manifold for the Mass-Flo EFI system installed as well as my Comp Cams Pro Magnum 1:6 roller rockers. Put the Edelbrock Elite valve covers on and then painted the top ridges the same color as the engine to give some uniqueness to it. What do you think? Only problem is the grommets don't want to fit in the holes in the valve covers, but there appears to be only one size grommet available. Anyone else have that problem?
Installed the disc brake conversion from Ruff Stuff specialties and got 76-78 Caddy Eldorado calipers with the e-brake. Painted them the same as the engine too, just cause I had some paint left over.
Finally got the right parts for the transmission to be complete, so hopefully I am done there.
Rebuilt the steering gear this weekend and for those that are going to do this, it isn't bad until you need to reinstall the ball bearings and there is a specific tool you need, but a 1/2" OD copper pipe works great as a substitute.
Also started putting the front end back together but found out I'm missing one of those copper/brass? thrust washers for the spindles, so had to order them.
Then started putting the actually EFI together. Man that throttle body is a nice unit, and very solid. Doug Thorley ceramic coaters came too, so I have lots to do and not enough time to do it. I am so sick of painting everything, but I know now is the time to do it. Anyway, here's a bunch of pics.
