Re: Project NOT4SLE
I wanted to add a muffler to the truck as I chopped the exhaust off when I lowered it.
Got a flowmaster from a buddy he had laying around and got her fabbed up. It is fabbed in a way that you would be scared to know who did it. LOL but it will work till I finalize building a small block, big block, LS motor for the truck. So many freaking ideas, and so little money to fund them all. HAHAHAHA not to mention I wanted to double check nuts and bolts For ease of not doing an LS install it would be obvious to swap in a 383 stroker as it will drop right in with minimal changes. the big block will take a little more, and an LS motor even more. So what do you think about this small block idea??? ![]() ![]() Last edited by vegaschevy; 02-04-2010 at 12:36 AM. |

Re: Project NOT4SLE
I love the twin turbo idea, I've been kicking that idea around for awhile now. My money has to get other things done on the truck first. But someday I hope to hang a couple hair dryers like that.

Re: Project NOT4SLE
If i had a twin turbo SBC in my garage, it would not take long to install.

I'll tell you what I think, I think you're going to need some meats on the rear.

Re: Project NOT4SLE
Got home from work today, through the truck up on jackstands and decided to get to work on getting the front end done.
I think cleaning and refurbishing the parts not being replaced will take longer then anything else. A lot of dirt, rock, concrete type stuff on it all over. LOL I am hoping to be done by Friday. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by vegaschevy; 01-20-2010 at 09:00 PM. |

Re: Project NOT4SLE
Right on! Are you planning on shooting any paint on the frame after things are cleaned up or is that in the future.

Re: Project NOT4SLE
A few quick pictures of the res of the truck. Finished taking it all apart. Started oven cleaning and pressure washing all the control arms and I found out I need a bead blaster lol
The drivers side upper ball joint was still riveted to the control arm so it was an original. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by vegaschevy; 01-21-2010 at 07:46 PM. |

Re: Project NOT4SLE
I think he has to keep it together to drive it.
At least the control arms can be taken somewhere and blasted easy enough. |

Re: Project NOT4SLE
Dude drop me a line if you work that susp on the weekend. I'm on the m-f grind currently but planning to start my SB this spring and could use a refresher...still want to check out that rear susp too. Have you found any good chrome platers in town?
