I am going to follow the lead of KBRACING and start a thread about my build up. I have had this truck a long time and slowly have been building it into a ...show truck...rat rod...track truck...sleeper...

EDITics at the bottom!

In the front I upgraded to IFS w/airbags
I just got the heart...a 2002 6.0L LQ9!!!!
Getting it out of the truck is holding me back but I wanted to in the day so I could get some pics.

UPDATE: 2/1/07

 

Sounds like a plan...
and learn yourself how to post pics! Im anxious!

 

here is my other 6.0L

Here is a much more dirty SS with dual LQ9's

Here is a close up of the engine

and this is where I need help? What sensor is this on the top of the intake?? it was broken when it got pulled out??

enjoy

 

That's the MAP sensor. Pretty easy to come by

Nice project BTW

Keep us updated and lots of pics!

 

keep us updated. i want to build a 49 chevy truck someday.

 

I am already planing on doing a 47-53 when my 63 is done. I had a 49 5 window I let go a few years back. Got any pics of the 50?

 

LilSS- I'll dig up some pic os the cab and frame I am working with.

Update:
that little piece of MAP casued me to pull the intake...I need new intake gaskets??? any Ideas


I also fixed the broken fuel reg (I think??) vaccume ref port. I used some JB weld, I hope it works...my next solution was to remove the PC valve and use that port but I need more info about removing the PVC system and adding catch cans?? suggestions??
What is that line with the green plug/port? it runs to the top of the manifold in the front and to a hard line in the back???


next pic is the two wire bundles that I need to fix/connect
this is the one that goes to the trans


this is the smaller one that goes out the back of the engine

 

2.1.07 update.
Got the motor mounts and started putting them on. But the passenger side hit the AC...so off goes the AC compressor and the EGR stuff on that side too, it looks better the more crap I take off.
Mount and plate


Plates on block, I am guessing I could fit the AC bracket to work, but the plug it hitting the mount...so I will wait to see if I need AC


Plates and motor mounts. I did not like the 'feel' of the motor mounts they seem weak



I am working on the block of plates and figureing out what I will remove/unused. What has anyone else removed on their conversions??

and I need to fix the date on my camera

 

this is pretty ruff, but you see where I am starting.

 

I got mine mocked up last night and it sitt really low! I need to move the engine up and back...
