I will be working a 12 hour shift tomorrow, so I expect hourly updates, lol! I'm really interested to see how your manifolds work out. Good luck!

dude, keep us posted. We are all pulling for you, hoping things go real smooth.

usmcchevy · 01-27-2011, 11:08 PM

Good luck!

85burb · 01-28-2011, 12:12 AM

I hope they do too. I already have my carb and fuel system in. The only problem i can see is the headers. But a member on here has them on one. The only thing i have to do to the motor is adjust rockers, install flywheel and hub addapter, and the balancer bolt. Then just 4 wires to msd box and alt wires and starter wires. Hoping for smooth install.

85burb · 01-28-2011, 12:24 AM

This is the collector i am using on headers.....8 buck a set. Cheaper then the crappy 3 bolt kind that blow gaskets every time you turn left, or stop, or go, or turn right. Well not that much but a hole lot....

85burb · 01-28-2011, 11:36 PM

If you go to last post on the link in my sig you can see my "progress". Any one need headers..???

usmcchevy · 01-29-2011, 12:12 AM

Sorry to hear about the headers. Where did you get the cheap v-bands?

85burb · 01-29-2011, 12:22 AM

think mirage on ebay or some place like that.

85burb · 01-30-2011, 12:32 AM

Engine is in and running. All i have left is to clean up wiring and hook exhaust up. Tell i can get the right set of headers that will fit. Here is shot clip of it alive sorry for bad video..

YouTube - engine start.mp4

usmcchevy · 01-30-2011, 11:51 AM

Thanks and congrats on the install! She sounds great!

85burb · 01-31-2011, 12:23 AM

Thanks. Motor also starts with tiny flick of key. It is amazing. Oil psi flings over to 45 at idle in no time at all.

faribran · 02-03-2011, 12:46 AM

i gather you are liking the carb'd ls ??

85burb · 02-03-2011, 12:55 AM

I reckon i do. Just needs to be tuned a bit.

85burb · 02-04-2011, 01:47 PM

Just need to clean up wirein.

**Clyde65** · 02-04-2011, 04:30 PM

what manifold/headers did you settle on?

85burb · 02-04-2011, 05:58 PM

I got one manifold that the engine came with wich is a 03 gmc youkon and one form a 99-03 5.3 truck. Dont remember the exact year. The f body headers do NOT fit a 4x4. A 2wd they may but deff not 4x4.
