    Hydroboost conversion - question on booster parts

    The folks at powerbrakes.com are great in case you need them. Was the only place I found that had new plunger kits with rod, spring, etc.

    Fitment of 81 body parts to 73-80 frame

    The hinges changed in 1981 and would likely not bolt onto earlier fenders. Here’sca pic of the original 1980 mount hole and the new hole location prior to cutting.

    Fitment of 81 body parts to 73-80 frame

    My 1981 C20 sheet metal mounted on a 1980 K30 frame required moving the core support holes a bit back.

    2,3 or 4 core radiator for BBC?

    I put an Engineered Cooling Products radiator in the daughter’s 69 SS396 Chevelle, works great. In my project here I used my existing 4-row from the 1981 454 C20, but could not use the shroud after I mounted the 454 in the 1980 K30 frame as the fan ended up to high for the shroud. When I fabbed...

    Is anyone having any luck buying a vehicle from Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace right now?

    Seems to be the norm here, too. Not to mention the ads that never get canceled long after the item is sold.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Mud/rock guard install. Did not want to penetrate any more than necessary and did not like any local offerings so built my own. Used the existing holes in the rear well for bolt stand-offs, cut some 17 guage steel and rosette welded to the bolt heads. Used stainless 1/4x20 bolts, washers and...

    Wheelwell trim

    Any time you penetrate the steel, give a place to hold moisture, etc., you are inviting corrosion. I just installed new well trim over new paint and I cringed with every screw hole! However, the truck looks unfinished without them. A person should really remove the trim yearly to address...

    Rescue Wire for Window Crank Clip

    Hate trying to get the clips out so while installing panels today I took thin, stainless safety wire and put loops on the clips so I can snatch them out easier later on.

    I installed one in my FF. Was pretty straight forward. And, yes, it lightened my wallet a bit!

    Have you swapped a 350 for a 454? Advice needed

    Okay, so I am 64, had somewhat of a heartbeat 20 years ago and had no friggin clue regarding “ORLY”. I really need to spend less time with the family, the dogs, and making stuff in the shop so I can have a more meaningful, informed life!

    Have you swapped a 350 for a 454? Advice needed

    I used the routing specified for my setup in the manual. I ended up not being able to use my original shroud from the C20 frame as the original fan sits too tall. I am converting to electric fans anyway.

    Have you swapped a 350 for a 454? Advice needed

    When I swapped the 350 for the 454 on a TH400/equipped 1980 K frame, I had to relocate the engine to mount holes back about 3/8”. Not sure that helps your situation. Here’s my hose routing.
