Re: 72 Suburban Build
Looking good.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Spent most of the day so far cleaning up/painting the tranny. I decided to test fit my new Lokar shifter now because its probably easier than doing it in the Burb. I definitely like it better than B&M so far. I'm going to get the tranny bolted up to the motor tonight and drop it in tomorrow morning.
I also met a fellow C10 dude today. Brady came buy to rescue my stock column from the trash can. He drove is very nice short/step over. I was most impressed though with under his hood. You don't see people put work into straight sixes that much anymore. It was nice to see something different.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
The carrier bearing I used did not need to be shimmed. The base was taller then the oe one I took out. CPP has a billet one they sell. 67cheby has it on his. My buddy has a Mallory small cap hei with the remote power box. Should make good on that tight space you have there.

As far as the carrier goes, I'll have to look into that. However, isn't CPP the company people keep complaining about getting their parts so late? If it is, with my luck, I'm going to need to find somewhere else. I could be getting them confused with another company though.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
No you got it right... It's them. Lol.
My buddy is running that cap in a 57 with a big block. I know they are diff trucks I just know that cap frees up a bit of space. I will be switching to one when I work on my nova. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Looks wicked!! Excellent work. I'm curious about your steering shaft. Nate told me that in order to run headers with a big block I would need to split the shaft and run a third knuckle as well as an idler to keep everything in check. I notice your only running two. Did you do something different?

Re: 72 Suburban Build
inland empire driveline in ontario california actually makes that billet and polyurethane carrier bearing you guys are talking about, that cpp sells. you can go on their website and also give them a cal,l and probably might be able to save some headache on the whole deal getting it directly from the manufacturer

Re: 72 Suburban Build
I was looking through a bunch of the pictures I've taken and thought I'd repost some as a before/after.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
67cheby, thanks man. I think I need to do the same thing. Otherwise it seems like the driveshaft is pointed down too much coming out of the tranny.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
You have no idea how big of an accomplishment this is for me. This is the biggest wiring job I've EVER done. The blinkers/lights work, starter works, and the alternator is wired.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Decided to take a break from wiring and put the shifter in today. I still need to do the carpet before it completely done. I really like the shifter.
