hello i have used this site several times to help with some issues i had on other cars running a ls and i wanted to say thank you. i used other ppls build threads to get fast answers so i thought i would put my build thread up to maybe help someone out in the future
Anyways i have a 70 chevelle that was pretty ruff that had been in storage for 14 years. i bought it put it in a field for a couple months and now im working on it. im going to have it on the road by may this year working on it after work and some weekends
It is going to be on a junkyard budget and pretty sloopy but functional
goals for now are daily driver with forced induction and vintage air later on down the road. i had planned on doing that now but have ran out of money so it will have to wait.

pulling the 330k 6.0 from a work truck that had a very hard life





tore down and inspected everything looked fine <br/>so plan on putting back together bearings looked good aswell





thining the wiring harness first time so it was a little slow moving





looks like a mess but was pretty easy





ordered head studs for a 04+ and as u can see the lower stud is way to short my truck was built 11 of 04 but has the older engine in it apartly





got the 6.0 in with homemade mounts just had to move the stock tranny crossmember back a couple inches





my buddy doing so motor mount fabbing





had to free some room for the 4l80e





racecar style mounts cost 0 just working with what we have not trying to build a show car





not the best looking but will hold





just filling rust holes so it dont leak in the trunk





trunk looked like swize cheese in the back glassed it and then put a layer of silcon and truck bed lined it





was origanly going to be a turbo car so i cut my manifolds and welded them to fit my needs





turned out great for what it is








ready for hot side piping im going to take these manfolds off and run stock ones intell i get the money for all the turbo stuff<br/>put pac 1218 springs in the heads already <br/>stock cam





got all the lights working and the hood closes 100% tight but it closes
