I love the wheels im on 17's right now. Is this truck lowered, if so how much if you dont mind telling me

Nice to find your video today my passenger side just started acting up and by the way my last name is Bowen as well !!

I was driving my c6 with the widows down it was raining and my switch got wet and I have no power to the windows on both sides.and my passenger window is all the way down how can I just raise the window u manually is there a way

I still can’t get the lower passenger tab to be in position to seat. All the others are easy. Any tips?

I’m looking to get a set for my c10. What lug nuts did you use for the wheels? Holley didn’t know.

I feel your woes, I’m in the same boat with the addition of a slightly bent end of the frame on the same corner. I’m decent with metal but it’s time to learn to fiberglass. Thanks for some inspiration, confidence and motivation.

Where did you mount the filter?

Nice work, I live in San Antonio.. where are you located?

Good job. Clean install.

Also are you lowered at all? Sorry if this info is in another video.

What width and back spacing did you go with and what tire sizes? Truck looks great!

Good video. What size feed line did you run? I'm putting the same tank in my tubbed '64 and need to run a -10an (5/8") line to feed the supercharged big . I was thinking of stubbing -8an out until it is accessible after the tank is is if I can't run -10an.

Wow

Thanks for replying back. Yeah some square body truck have 12 bolt rearend. Which have larger brake drums. Which make wheel fitment a issue.

Did the longer lug nuts work? I'm have same deal. You must have the bigger brake drums on rear. I do

As far as the idle, if you haven’t figured it out yet. I had a similar throttle body on one of my swaps that almost immediately started doing something similar and it turned out to be sticking but only under vacuum. This made it tough to troubleshoot, but replacing the throttle body fixed it. Been running that car for a couple years since with no issue.

Do you happen to know if your TBSS intake would clear a stock hood on this build?

Coming soon to a highway near you!

Nice job. I am attempting the same thing. Would you happen to have a part's list. I have the TKX and ls3 but that's it. Thanks in advance!!

This was something I probably forgot when I went to automotive school. Thanks for the refresh!

Is there some way to press the seal in place instead of using a block and rubber hammer while hoisted? So far so good!

You handled the issue correctly. Fortunately it was one bank.

Glad to know is a good block. No seizure or metal shavings! Also, if the gap on the rear main seal wears on the metal, wouldn’t it be bad? Maybe I am wrong?

Great job

Woohoo! Thank you!

🎉

Nice Vette bro, your hood to short?? I might do a LS one day, I took the original L79 327/350HP out of my 68 put it on a stand and built a 388 10.7:1 roller stroker motor.

Everybody that has done a "project" appreciates your vette.

Hope to see this zoom past me on the highway one day. Great video!

Congrats - Major Milestone. I'm getting ready to drop in the 5.3 in my 76 within the next week. Taking advantage of the empty engine to clean and degrease.

Enjoying watching the process! We've come a long way! Never tried Super Clean, but I'd love too! Thanks!

Music. Sweet music. Good stuff Billy.

Big thumbs up. 👍🏼

I almost made a mistake going by what others have done choosing the tires. As the stock tires are ~27" in diameter and if you choose 17" or 18" rims but go with a specific aspect ratio (45,40) you will end up with about 27" or slightly smaller, this does not really lower the car, this only allows you to suck the tire up further towards the fender, (maybe) which will slightly lower the car. If on the other hand you go with 35 and 30 series the tire is now smaller in diameter which lowers the car frame without adjusting the suspension. By sucking the tire up (suspension) you further lower the frame. The compromise is the tire may appear to be too small for the fender opening, which I plan to fix simply by making the fender opening fit the new tire size.

Is that an a/c car? Just wondering about clearance from passenger side valve cover to heater/air box. Is there enough clearance? Thx. Enjoying your videos

Good man! Looking forward to seeing it on the road!!

Building a 1970 that’s sat in a pole barn for 28 years. Your videos are helpful

You're making progress man. Work faster! I want to see it run! 😀

No where in this video do you show installing a drive shaft

Thanks for putting all these videos together. I have a 1971 vette with SBC 350 and I am looking to do an LS swap. I was going to go with the Tremec TKX like you have. It's good to see it fits. Here's a short video of mine idling after I got it running. It's time for something new now. czcams.com/video/ONKzmJ8sve4/video.html

❤ brother Billy 😁 you are the koolest 🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️

Ah good information on the early or late tank strap locations, I have an early it seems

I also purchased this tank for my 1971 corvette and see the engineers must have been smoking pot the day someone thought about the hole pattern in the tank specifically the fuel pump hole & the sending unit hole, filler hole didn't have any issues, a couple issues that could have been easily rectified by more thought. 1) Yes the holes in the sending unit are not spaced the same ( read the directions Mayer Motorsports) Daniel Kohler is 100% correct. Are you (Mayer Motorsports) a shop doing work for customers ???? 2)The fuel tank holes are basically drilled in the best position, I called Tanks Inc. & discussed this issue, they gave me suggestions that they seemed to think was a good solution, EXCEPT when you rotated the fuel pump too clear one area something else had clearance issues, I tried rotating to all 6 possible positions and everyone had some type of clearance problems. After attaching the provided 1/4NPT I tried using 45 degree fittings -6AN, I tried 90 degree -6AN both not to my satisfaction 3) the fuel pump itself could have been made with slightly taller fittings so the vent & supply ports could have been moved over two of the mounting holes and used a shorter screw /bolt to secure it to the tank. this is one solution 4) I looked at the tank for an hour trying to decide the best solution for my particular requirements. After spending additional time on the phone with Josh at Tanks Inc. and not really getting a solution I am left wondering about the customer service. I ordered the 9" tube style sending unit, opened the box to find a 6" was sent, This statement is directed at Tanks Inc. if you are sending out a Corvette tank that you should clearly know takes a 9" sending unit then the person that is packaging up the items should have took the time and walked up to the office and doubled checked with the lady that took my order & confirmed that she made a mistake by typing a 6 instead of a 9 on the order = bad, bad, bad for not double checking up front & in the shipping department. TRAIN YOUR EMPLOYEES BETTER I was required to purchase the replacement 9" sending unit because I was told others that have the same issue didn't return the incorrect = bad, bad, bad I did receive my refund for the incorrect 6" in a timely manner, but this shouldn't have happened in the first place. Called again & spoke to Josh on 07/06/2023 & ordered an additional $85.00 dollars worth of -AN fittings so I am on hold before I reveal my solution for a poorly engineered design, he said that he didn't understand why I was having so much difficulty in this, Josh said they just make the fuel sending unit exit with the ports towards the back of the car = easy enough if you want to do a sloppy ass job & have fittings that rub on the tank, fittings that point right & will interfere with the bracket that bridges the sending unit. all in all it seems to be a good thought but wasn't fully carried out to make it as easy as possible for the guy's doing this conversion. Hopefully this post will find others to help them with their project.

did you figure it out yet, I think I have a simple solution I have a 71 I'm working on

I think you’ve just provided a cost analysis/ business case to buy a brand new work bench for the garage.

What are you running for front accessory mounting? Is it all stock F body or 3rd party?

I have some natural remedies for the cold.😅

Great series! Keep it up. Can’ wait to see it running. Subscribed

Wow

Best intro ever
