Re: My 52 GMC Build

I could not find a power steering reservoir that would work for me, so I modified an old coolant overflow I had, turned out good. Got my heater core mounted and hooked up, fits in there really nice and doesn't block anything. There is a coolant bypass valve just inside. The 30A electric heater I ran for the past 8 years worked ok but we do our big road trip in the fall and I needed more heat sometimes.
Going to start the motor for the first time tomorrow!!!!

Re: My 52 GMC Build

And it ALIVE!! First start was Saturday cranked about 6 seconds then fired. Had a few sensor related issues but I think they are figured out, had it running enough to get some heat in the motor and fill the transmission. Best part is I know I put the motor together right and the wiring is correct. It also sounds GREAT!! FYI don't use dryer vent hose if you plan to goose the throttle. I'll get a vid uploaded soon.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

I'm defiantly stepping up my game on this motor swap, it's taking so much time. But it is really turning out good. Stainless intake pipes are done cleaned up how I want them and sanded.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

Wiring is all cleaned up for the motor and under the dash, shortened the wires for the computer. I used the heat gun solder butt splices, they are like magic. Then wrapped it in cloth split loom and used fiber tape where needed.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

The 4" exhaust is done and installed. I'm calling the down pipe my snowmobile exhaust because it looks like it should be on a snowmobile lol. Came out good can't wait to hear it. Had to squish it in a few spots to get some ground clearance and to clear the lower 4link bar. The exit is floating in the 6" tail pipe.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

you're right, the down pipe does look like a sled exhaust, haha. nise to see the flex joints too.
that is gonna be a tight underhood when done. gonna be good to see those pics with the fenders on etc.
keep plugging away and the list will be done so you can drive it, and make a new list of tidy up stuff, like we all do.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

Ok I put together a video of the first start and last Saturday when I drove the truck out side for the first time with the full exhaust and intake. Very happy with the sound.
