Trying not to hijack here, I'm not sure which MC he used, but I used a AC Delco 18M973 from a 2000 S10 with a 4.3L V6. It has a 1" bore and the outlets are on the right side like you need.

Tubbed 69- Your Camaro is unreal. I read through most of your build thread the other night. Amazing and good motivation for a guy like me.

Wanman- 75 ford two wheel drive f350. 1"bore as well.

Dropped off a load of stuff at the coater this am. Front bumper, grille, headlight bezels to get coated dull aluminum and cleared. Also the core support to get sand blasted.

Converter should have shipped from Chris at circle d on Friday.

Still battling a nasty cold so progress is kind of slow.

Now after seeing some of the sheetmetal work that is done on these board, my at home hack job doesn't seem very special, but gotta keep the build thread going so bare with me.

Trying to get the front engine bay sheetmetal work done this week while I am waiting for the converter.

There was a good bit of rust below the battery box and that area was not very good looking and flowing with the rest of a pretty good looking inner fender. So I cut it out bent up some sheetmetal and welded it in for a nice straight and flush fender.

Here it is in raw metal, still needed a bit more metal work at this point but I was running out of time.





All bodywork and high build primer done. Still needs a little more attention before paint but its getting close.





The plan for the engine bay is just have mechanical parts in there, very little if any wiring. Going to tuck the headlight, turnsignals under the inner fenders and mount the battery in the rear of the truck. Trying to make it a very clean and pleasing engine bay.

Thanks man, looked at your thread as well, looks like we think a lot alike

Made good progress on the fenders last night, passenger got several hours of body work, priming and sanding and little bit of spot putty. They are far from perfect but pretty sure they will do just fine for inner fenders. Drivers side got the battery box cut out of it and the new flat patch panel put in it's place. Everything is all welded up and ready to start grinding and body work, I hope to be done with body work tonight and shoot these on Saturday.

Got a nice little box in the mail yesterday....



Got this amazing piece from Chris at Circle D. He was amazing to work with and this thing brings the beef. Full billet triple disc 4l80E converter along with an SFI approved flex plate. The plan is to get that bolted up and installed this weekend.
