Tomo I'm going to clean out the inside ...it is full of goodies...lol and swap the intake off the engine and do a little clean up. I'll be sure to take some pics. Also gonna try on those headers!

Re: My 85 chevy c10 build
Got a little bit done today. I got the harness and PCM out of the donor. I also changed the spark plugs and installed the new E3 plugs. Got the new MSD plug wires on...looks pretty killer. Then I took off the old intake and put the new one on, did some clean up...it was filthy from sitting upside down oil and gunk everywhere.. I also kinda put together the front end of my truck because I was bored and I snapped some shots of it...

Re: My 85 chevy c10 build
Yeah I pm'd that guy but he never responded back. I was talking to a guy the other day who referred me to this guy at a shop...said the guy was real good at these swaps so I called him this morning . It is 200 if I want the vats and smog removed and the extra transmission shifting where it shifts at full power...somethin to do with some safety feature he can turn off and then they will preset the timing and injection rate..he said it would gain about 40 HP

Re: My 85 chevy c10 build
Tested out the bags today....they seemed to work pretty good. My first truck with bags so it was pretty exciting airing them and blowin them down lol....My only question is....is there a way to tone it down a bit....seems when I hit a couple of the switches this thing hops up in a heart beat and I wouldnt want to be in it when it goes up like that? any ideas....I guess not put as much air in the tank....but id like to have full air and when I hit the button to go up it kind of slowly rise...or just not so fast...ill try and post a video. A guy i walked to today said i could put filter valves on the release solenoids to slow it going down...but what do I do about up?? thanks!

Re: My 85 chevy c10 build
it will slow down a good bit once theres a moter/tranny and bed on it , but you can always run lower pressures in the tank also

Re: My 85 chevy c10 build
Cool man! Do you know what size valves you have? You might Look at getting smaller orifice valves.
