Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

The piping clears the battery trays, but I had to trim the inner fender on the driver's side for the intercooler piping to clear.

My hood latch will clear after I modify it. I have to cut it and move it 3/4" of an inch and do the same to the hood guide pin and it will work fine.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

Thats what I fugured... Im thinking about running the intercooler oposite of yours and mounting the batterys under the bed.

For fitting it ill either run a 1" body or trim an inch off the intercooler... I hadnt really thought about modifying the latch so ill be excited to see that!

Have you ran exhaust yet? Its gonna be interesting to get mine past the tcase.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

Yep, I have 4" over the trans cross member and 5" on back. I got 4" all the way through on the 88 burb I'm doing, so it can be done.

I used a stock BBC radiator for this truck. I can get you a pic of the clutch pedal set up. It was a PITA to figure out and get the rod to travel straight when the pedal moves in an arc. I'll have to remove the linkage for the hydra boost to get a pic of it. When I do I'll get a pic of it.

Actually, it does have coolant in it. I don't think the truck knows it's supposed to be a truck again.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

What hydroboost are you using? i have the unit from a 01 dodge and it is all sorts of into the intake. i think i need to find a shorter hydroboost, or continue on with my slight modification of normal to get the unit i have on there.

i need to make sure i the ability to use an MC that has a big enough bore for the big front brakes. i think i can maybe get this one to work if i toss the factory intake horn, but it will still be close to the IP

Thanks

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

Some of the corvette guys mount the hydroboost upside down, that might be an option.

Ryan, my Hydraboost is from a 84 K30. I made a new plate and bolted it directly to the fire wall. You might have issues with as far back as your engine is. If you have to ditch the stock intake just make a flange and weld pipe to it like i did on mine. A stock intake wouldn't fit on mine either. I tried a 24v one, a 12v one may have fit. I also tried a dodge unit on my truck, but the bracket they had on the rear placed the whole mess way forward like you're saying and would have been into my injection pump. If you want a bigger reservoir, get one from a C40 or so. It should bolt on the pick up hydraboost unit.

There is a member on here that sells an adapter plate to run gm hydroboost setup. There is a guy on pirate running the kit on his K5 with a 6.oh in it

I keep forgetting you moved it back so the back of the valve cover acts as your center console.

Check the super dooty ones. I have a super dooty hydroboost setup with a 95 Explorer master cyl. Everything else under the hood of the explorer is stock. If your interested, I can get some measurements

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

Ryan, for what it's worth, I put a stock corvette master cylinder on a gm truck hydraboost in my corvette so I could run the 4 piston calipers. It works great. Maybe that's an option for you too.

I am all about dual purpose. a center console that keep the coffee warm? I'M IN! i would take some measurements if you have time, cant hurt to have some options.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

I'm also running a Corvette master on hydroboost with stock D60 discs/11.5AAM discs. Works great and doesn't look too modern under the hood.

There is a split on the Corvette masters with the later ones having a shallow indent for the push rod. I bought one for a 77 Corvette and a 1 1/8 bore and it works great with plenty of reservoir capacity.

Edit: I'm finally building my 68's D60 (after driving my Nova on snow/ice I decided to get my butt in gear) so if you can PM me your address I'll ship the GM D60 arm down to IA.
