The plan was for LS1 swap but i'm not sure how much is all that gonna cost me when it's said & done compared to just buying a jdm 13B and upgrade the turbo. By looking at your build thread i'm leaning toward the LS

 

LS would be sick.. I co-sign that.. lol






So this happen over the weekend. If any one knows me then you should know my love for SquareBody Duallys.. Well need a Tow Pig to take my car to events once done so finally picked up a 77' Chevy C30 454 with Th400 Trans.. And if you know me this will have everything replaced on it and new paint as well as being bagged on 22"fronts and 24" rear.. And end goal will be with a 6BT 12v Cummins.. That is another build that will take 3 years but I am okay with that..





Oh and this happen.. "let there be light",, Getting closer

 

Nice tow pig.. Can't wait to see it laying frame..

 

love finding build threads like these to live vicariously through.

 

Me either, going to be some time cause I want to redo the interior first and then the exterior before laying frame.. In between I might lower it just cause..



Glad you like more to come..

 

Count down begins....

 

So sorry for the lack of update.. So we ran into some issues with the ChaseBays harness (No ****ing shock there).


So Stew is going through it and working everything out.. Lets just say first thing the harness was to short to reach some connectors, then it would not power on my PCM due to it giving constant power to were it should not. And then run into a issue with the starter..


But on a good note might have start up this weekor early next week.






Okay So a lil update on the start up.. Stew ran into some more issues with the starter, it was a simple fix so no worries there. Buuuut car turns over perfectly but will not start. So we are first going to address a few issues that may be causing that. For one get rid of this 3yr old gas.. nasty ****.. lol. Going to re-route my fuel lines so it is setup a lil better (time to order more fittings). And Stew has to weld on my new IAT bung and install sensor.

So once those things are addressed and have new gas in her we will give the start up a shot again. Now my only worry now is if it does not start, my guess is that the Coils are wired backwards or wrong in some way (again thank ChaseBays for that.. lol)



And I will leave this right here..lol


So I will keep you guys posted.

 

I received a jacked up harness from Chase Bays too. Ended up using the GM connect and cruise. It works perfect.

We need to sue CHASEBAYS for their crappy work. They never returned my calls either.

 

Lets just say its getting close.. We should have all fuel fittings here my Friday. Once we have them installed we can start her up..

Stay Tuned!!!!

 

Okay Time for a legit update... So lets get this *********nParty started..



As I stated before I love Wheat beers and Karbach Brewing Co. makes a damn good. one..



And you know this post would not be complete if I did not post up some DogFish Head..



The DogFish Head Piercing Pils has a very unique taste.. i dig it though.



Started off running my Hydro Brake lines to the rear..



Ran it through the center console and then T'ed it in the rear..



Went under the Accusump, Nice and clean.. Now I still have to run all my brake lines though..



You know things are getting close when you start buying all your fluids



Damn that is a lot of oil.. Have to fill the Accusump also..



Going to make sure this bad boy stays cool..



A quick look at her before I send her off to Dallas to finish wiring



Damn she is one sexy lady..



Loaded her up on these damn Uhaul trailers,, Can't wait to buy my own once she is done.. (Just take a guess which trailer I am aiming for)



I think the only thing I like about this trailer is the tire tie downs..



Dropped her off at Stew's house.. And she is in good hands.. and also has some nice company with her..



**** is about to get real.. some cutting..



Sad sad day..... But the out come will be epic











Have to water proof and smoke proof these bad boys..





The Start of my floor board so my feet have some were to rest and not get hot..








I just love how this thing is turning out..



Need grip no problem.. Love how it turned out in the end with the grip tape and all..

 

Let the wiring begin..




Love this location of were my breaker is..



Out of sight





Let there be light!!!




So badass to see everything turn on...






entering the cabin



Now let the ChaseBays **** fest begin...




Stew found the issue why the PCM would not turn on.. Was getting constant power were it should have not..



Like WTF!!








Issues fixed and put back together



After all that we need to rename this harness



On to removing all the unnecessary wires for lights..




First time I have seen lights light up on this car for about 3 yrs.. so stoked.




Install my IAT sensor



Time to remove this 3yr old gas.. It was nasty to say the least.. and I had like 7gallons of it..



Before we stated we wanted to reroute the fuel lines better.. So more fittings were ordered..



And this cute little filter




Oh **** we have pressure.. We def bumpped this up with my FPR... But man over 3yrs its good to see some pressure.. lol




PCM is talking so lets do this..



Okay what all you guys have been waiting for.. Now I post everything on this build the good and the bad.. So with that being said I think this is Bad...LOL my idle is all jacked up so we are working on the issue as we speak and I should have a better idle vid for you soon.. But Like I promised we have a heart beat.. So stoked right now..

Now I got to hear this thing in person and man is it loud and rowdy, just how I wanted it to be.. can't wait to rip in this thing

 

man pleeeaaaassseeee put some heat shrink on that ground for your switch cluster! All this sick nice looking work and then that tape just screams at me when I see it haha

 

By far one of the best builds i've seen on here.

Sounds amazing man. Can't wait to see it in action!

 

So that pic you saw was before finally wire install... So don't shot me.. lol


Thanks man for the kind words... Hoping it sounds even better once we work out all the kinks..

 

Sooooo the ChaseBays BS continues... Figuring out why it sounds like **** and wont hold a idle..





BAM!!! Pins were not locked in,, Like come on... So we did not have all eight ignition signals more like 6.. We have a rough tune but need to get a wide band on it. Also my TPS sensor reads backwards.. 100 at idle and 0% at WOT (guessing chasebays is to blame for this) So going to buy a new TPS just to be safe since mine was used.


But as of right now I have another vid with a better idle that I will post up (question how do you embed Vimeo vids?)


So for now I am going to bring her home, run my brake lines, lower car and get alignment and then head back to Dallas to get tuned and fix any issues we come up with..
