Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
Today I got the under dash pedal assembly . I also pickd up the mini 7" booster from CPP it accepts any standard corvette style master cylinder. the original stock booster will not work. This kit requires some fab work and welding and some fab work to the gas pedal to mount to the inner fire wall. I knocked out the booster. I still need more time to finish this one but here are a few pics.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
You're makin' great progress, And it's going to look great!
It's nice to see that other folks doing these projects aren't exactly expert welders. No offense intented as I am just starting to get a feel for my MIG welder, and my welds make yours look like Nathan Porter's. I was always told the only difference between a great welder and a mediocre welder is a great grinder  .
