Re: Attempting my first build 72 K5
I was just wondering if you still had to use the spacer with the steal wheels to clear the wilwood calipers? I know you had to use them with the rally wheels is it the same for the other wheels as well?
Thank you Chris |

Re: Attempting my first build 72 K5
The engine went to Dyno last Monday I spent three 10 hour days at the shop helping with the engine install later that week. Boy did we run into issues.
The headers would not go in from the bottom or the top with the engine mounted. We had to hoist the engine up a few inches to get those 1 7/8 pipes to slide inside the frame rail. I pray I never have to remove the headers ever! I upgraded the PS pump to a Borgessen high pressure with two return lines. The Pump is the press fit style from 75-78 and I needed to use different brackets so I got a set of brackets from Bills hot rod for the PS & Alt. These brackets gave us all sorts of problems. Nothing was lining up and we spent hours fiddling with accessories. In the end we did prevail and we started her up late last night. Here's a link if you want to hear the dyno - https://www.instagram.com/p/BnAOhzvB...y=gromm.racing
