Pics of progress on Sy #434

[mrweelr]

Well, today I got the Derale installed under the bed and ran the braided lines...damn, that shit is a PITA to work with! Anyway, I routed the 6AN lines through the frame on the driver's side, keeping them completely away from the exhaust. The only line that comes anywhere near the exhaust is the hot line going from the tranny to the aux filter, which is before the three coolers anyway, so no biggie.

Anyway, I'm too lazy to type a lot, so here are the pics with descriptions:

New RPM 60-1 turbo:

Another shot:

RPM Race tranny and 10.5" 2800 TC installed:

Different angle:

RPM 3" downpipe and converter:

Bungholios for EGT and WB02:

Front of truck. Notice braided line going from B&M back to Derale under bed:

B&M 70266 front mounted trans cooler:

Auxiliary Trans filter and temperature sending unit:

Another angle:

90 fitting at radiator:

Tranny fittings:

Different angle:

Close-up:

Another look, no drilling through bed necessary, plenty of clearance:

More pics in the next post since there seems to be a limit on number of images permitted...

Here you can see how I routed the braided tranny lines from the under-bed cooler. Vertical 6AN line is routed over bellhousing to top port on tranny (return line):

Only the best for this Sy:

Spark plug booties for new RPM Taylor wires that are coming:

That's it for now. Headers and Razor alky kit coming soon, then I can put her back together. Will run only 91 + Xylene from now on, no more straight pump gas. Hoping for mid 11's, the truck has been lightened quite a bit.

Re: Pics of progress on Sy #434

Made some more progress tonight. Got the turbo oil drain line installed, no more leaks!Also plugged off the coolant ports on the lower intake and block; that's two less lines to worry about

RPM oil drain line and new ATR rad hose:

ITS minigate ready to install:

Plug on lower intake.

Lower intake will come off next weekend for new gaskets and will also install Vortec valve covers. More to come.

the... turn signal stalk?

brilliant. somehow it looked to me like a box recessed under the dash and i didnt even pay attention to foreground. maybe the doc was right about cutting down on the ritalin. :drugs:

Re: Pics of progress on Sy #434

Yep, turn signal switch. One of my all-time favorite mods

Re: Pics of progress on Sy #434

How much did all of that braided line set you back?

 

[mrweelr]

Re: Pics of progress on Sy #434

Two rolls of 30' Summit 6AN, and I only have about 10 feet or so left. It was around $160 or so just for the line, can't remember exactly. I completely eliminated the stock metal tranny lines while I was at it.

Sick ass! Just remember- when using ss hose to use plenty of"adel clamps" available from earls,etc. That ss hose will eat through anything it's touching in time,esp. an edge of a body panel,etc.you can also help this by putting shrink wrap over the braided sections and shrinking it against the hose. That's helped alot. Don't forget to pressure test your hose assemblies with the easy shraeder valve adapter and caps available from many hose manufacturers,retailers. Looks great,man. Keep it up.

I'm a huge fan of the braided line work. It looks great! Hopefully mine looks that nice when its done! What's the engine build behind all of this?
