Bigdog's Wagon 3 Attachment(s) Well five months later and one caprice classic wagon and one 2003 5.3 vortec. It's finally done and I just love it. What a sleeper. |
Nice job |
Congrats. How hard was the install? |
Had to cut and box-in the front cross member, cut down the trans dap mounts because they ran into the ac pump and make spacers to lift the engine up a little. Weld a longer bracket forward on the tranny cross bar. I also want to thank all you guy's, Spalding Auto in Washington and John at Spear Tech. |
Nice pics. Sleeper indeed! |
Cool swap man. How do you drive that car in AZ with no A/C man... |
Next project AC lines Today it will only be 105, not hot yet but I'm working on the AC now. |
Your install looks nice and clean. Any plans to get some cool air to the filter? What are you running for gears in the arse end of that boat/battlecruiser? Ken |
Cool air Yes one of my plans is to extend the tube over to the right side and out to the front. The bigamus boat has a 2.77 I've been having fun embear assing some suv's and rice burners. You have to know when to hold them and fold them. |
Nice swap. Just curious what was interferring with the cross member? Oil pan or accessories? |
4 Attachment(s) AC ran into the cross member. Had to spacer the engine up about and 1.125. Truck oil pan had about a .5 clearance when done. Had to cut flanges off of the exhaust manifolds and turn them to clear the side frame rails. |
