85' Project Finally!

[CHEVROLADE]

pm sent,and we put the 4l60. the truck had the 700r so the same driveshaft was used,the crossmember was modified. truck started up today.

im running a 60e trans, was goona use the th400 i have, but couldnt pass on the good deal i got on the 60e. im using the factory crossmember just had to drill holes in the frame to move it back also had to have my ds shortened. im sure you can use your stock ds, i didnt because i wanted my motor to sit far back.

hell yea thanks for the info..dirty dingo motor mounts or custom made?

i used the hooker headers adapter plates but endend up drilling and tapping, to set the motor further back. i say go for the dirty dingo mounts so you can adjust the placment a probaly use the stock ds. dont see why to make custom mounts when many are available

[CHEVROLADE]

yea im gonna order the dingo mounts...man i popped the hood on this thing and its a mess of wiring...i dont like wiring at all...should i just gut it out and order a complete harness from allen?i will post up a pic in a bit.

[lechez71]

with a reworked harness just have to connect power, ground, ign power. shouldnt have trouble narrowing down your harness. post a pic

I'm running the factory tank as I wanted to keep the factory fuel door location and I couldn't really find a cell that would work well with the door. but I'm using a walbro GSL392 external inline 255lph pump. Should still give plenty o' fuel if I decide to turbo the beast.

Im doing the same conversion myself. Ive got the dual gas tank switch deal in a c20 but i am curious as to if you just cut the feed to the existing stock mechanical pump and put the in line pump right in the feed? I was kinda confused if i had to find some sort of in tank drop in assembly or revise the tank to a sump style pickup in order to make things work correctly and still have the dual tanks? Or do i have to say adios to the dual tanks?

Any help/advice is appreciated!
