The man that welded the bung on my oil pan has some true welding talent, you should see some of the medical tables he welds up for the Hospitals in Austin
Pic of the weld from the inside

 

Yea i would say he has welded before....

 

When I take him my intake to get ported I will get some pics of some of his projects. he has like 20(seriously) dirt bikes in his shop that he has done all kinds of stuff to. He does ceramic coating also on exhaust ports I may get him to do that too. When I asked him if he would polish my intake also he said, "I dont believe in doing anything that doesnt make more power", it made me laugh and he was serious, all of his motors laying around werent dressed up one bit but had badass heads etc on them.

 

Sounds like my kind of man, all go and no show.

 

Your truck looks WAY too good for you to be a "All go, no show" type of guy. Sorry. lol

Nice work on the oil pan. Is there going to be a lot of room for the hose to bolt up once the engine is in?

 

Hey, I gave a little over $20k for mine brand new. How many of you would think you could get a Gibbs truck that cheap? I didn't, I stumbled on it on accident while searching dealerships' inventory on the net for a loaded out black 4.8 5spd. I called and they said it was a JGP which explained the high options on a base model 4.8 5spd which I was having a hard time finding.

I will utilize the bling factor if it is practically free and takes little to no effort. I definatly won't go out of my way for it.

 

I found my Gibbs on EBAY and traded a 2003 COBRA convertible for it. The truck had 750 miles on it and it is the 5.3 SC with an automatic soon to be 6 speed.

 

where did you get that fitting at? what thread is it?

 

Got it at a local speed shop it is an AN -6 nipple. You can find them on summit, if oyu have trouble Ill send oyu a link.

 

if you gotta link go anhead and send it my way. thanks.
