The suspension is DJM spindles, coil springs in the front. DJM flip kit in the rear for now. I am going to use Ridetech upper/lower control arms, triangulated 4link with QA1 or ridetech coil overs on the rear.
I am using a 31gal K5 blazer tank from spectra premium under the bed, with a corvette filter/regulator.
Triangulated 4link
Lokar Shifter
Used earls fittings to adapt from metric to -6AN

Had to replace passenger side floor pan last summer. Pulled old carpet out to find some rust, wasn't too bad.
Got a driveshaft loop and top bar to mount coil overs from Competition Engineering.

It's been a few years since I've posted. Moved twice and working on average 100 hours a week or more has had me busy.
I have thrown a '98 LS1/4l60e into my truck. I plan on swapping in an 80e soon. I had one rebuilt last summer and had a Transgo HD2 shift kit thrown in. Had a driveshaft built at DriveTrain of Mesquite in Mesquite, Texas. Went with a transmember crossmember from TejasMetalWorks. The wire harness is from PSI Conversions. I am using Fbody efans. I'm going to try and make some pacesetter long tubes for an fbody work.

Now to decide whether to keep the LS1 in my truck, or put the L33 in the truck and the LS1 into my 66 Chevy II Nova.
Still haven't decided on a cam and stall convertor yet, any recommendations??
Changed the hood latch and cable this week, along with a set of Wamrodz hood struts, well worth the $$$!

I worked on the throttle cable and pedal yesterday. Removed the old throttle cable and the throttle pedal. I am using a Lokar 48" LS1 throttle cable. I had to mod the end of the pedal to work with the clevis at the end of the throttle cable. Originally it ran parallel with the firewall and had a split at the end of it. I used a mini inductor to heat it and close the gap and twist the end sideways.
