Default ‘63 Chevy II Pro-Touring Build

We got the clutch issue resolved - new Monster clutch fit perfectly, shimmed the slave cylinder to Monster’s spec, and got the bell housing aligned properly with the help of some offset dowel pins.

Motor and trans installed. Kurt also made a custom bracket to mount the Dominator ECU up under the dash in a location that allows decent access to the various connectors that plug into the ECU.









I provided Kurt with template for additional wires and pin locations for each that needed to be added to the Dominator wiring harness (e.g., output for PWM control for fans, input for A/C compressor turning on, etc) as well as the digital dash wiring harness (turn signals, oil temp, power steering temp, high beam indicator, virtual switch for driving lights, etc.). Guys got most of those patched in as well.







Rear bumper also polished and hung. We welded the mounting brackets to the back side of the bumper so no exposed bumper bolts. Tail lights in this picture are just for test fitting, they’ll be pulled out, lenses removed and painted black to match the bumpers and the rest of the trim.




Great to see meaningful progress each week!

Thanks! Minor issues, but new clutch should be even better than the Katech unit.

Progress continues... remaining trim pieces have been painted and assembly started on some of them.



We also have brakes and lines installed... look great with the rims!








Front end should go on soon, and will test fit lines for oil cooler and power steering cooler, as well as catch can, radiator and A/C lines. We’ll then send the radiator out for powder coating. Fuel tanks and lines to follow shortly...

We had another minor issue pop up when attempting to test fit oil cooler connections on the Mast oil pan with header clearance for my Ultimate headers, which fit pretty tight against the block to clear DSE subframe. The Mast pan has provisions for built in oil cooler fittings using their 90 degree adaptors. Unfortunately, those adaptors didn’t provide enough clearance and hit the headers. In discussing with Mast, we were able to make another, lower profile 90 degree fitting work in the front port, but the fitting on the rear port was still a little too close for comfort with the headers tightened down.

I ended up having to abandon the use of the Mast circuitry altogether and bought a sandwich style unit from Moroso which will allow us plenty of clearance for the lines and filter should still sit flush with the bottom of the oil pan.
