Engine to Firewall Ground
Now that I have aluminum heads, intake and of coarse the transmission, what's the best place to attach a ground wire on the engine? Aluminum isn't the best conductor.- PeteJr

New to me truck/ what should i go through and look at
As well as the above suggestions......... Check wiring and/or connections. Be sure the fuse panel is safe and not a bungled mess. IF you go as far as an extensive "redo" I vote to install a new wiring harness...........- PeteJr

Finally got the engine/transmission set in today. It's a long process, but I'm somewhat anal about some things........... New radiator and fans showed up today too. -

Decent ball joint press
Advance, O'Reilly's maybe others will rent them. I rented one at O'Reilly's. It was $145, returned it and got my money back. Zero cost. I wouldn't buy one if I could rent it. -

Blue Print or GM Performance
As info and my 2 cents: Flat tappet cam, better use the zinc additive. Also, if you need it....... better check to see if you can bolt up a fuel pump. The '87 - '95 GM TBI engine I bought (and sold) wasn't cut for the fuel pump uses electric one.- PeteJr

Blue Print or GM Performance
The Summit site tells how many they have in stock. They had 9 when I ordered, but they were all gone within a week. Mine shipped from the Ohio whse. My buddy ordered a 383 and his came from Texas. I'm sure Summit is high on the list to get BP engines restocked............- PeteJr

What have you done to your square lately??
Mike, I used the stock Moog coils (#6452 and Western Chassis 2 1/2" dropped spindles. I started using the compressor, but the bolt ran up too far and wouldn't go in the pocket. My buddy and I finnagled (sp) the springs in place enough and jacked up the lower CA. They popped in. Just be sure that... -

What have you done to your square lately??
Finally got my new front coils, spindles, tie rod ends installed on the rebuilt control arms. Cleaned up the inside of the front cap and did a little rust clean up and primered those spots. Forgot to take a pic............ Next are the rotors and new calipers, hoses, seals etc. -
C10 Nationals, Dallas/Ft Worth
Been to the Fort Worth & Nashville ones. I liked the Texas show better than the Nashville one (even though it's 300 miles closer) Buc-Ees, What-A-Burger, Chic-Fil-A, In-N-Out Burger right across the road from the speedway. What a deal. -
