    Yes, please post some pic's of the header install. That's on the list to do after the gear change, E-fan, lowering job, paint job, etc... so much to do!!!!

    OK...update...this switcher works just fine...
    NAPA part # 22198

    I'm an idiot...I had it wired up backwards. When the right pump ran...the switcher was on the left tank feed...I know I'm an idiot.

    I thought I would post this for reference sake...just for the guys that do the square body style, with dual tanks. 73-87 C's and K's...or the 88-91 R's and V's.

    Thanks again to the whole board...this would have been a lot slower and more painful without all the great info I recieved from here.


    P.S. This thing runs like a 4-door dual wheeled Corvette......well, maybe not quite that good but I'm very pleased with it.

    Mike.

    Couple of quick questions.

    Are you guys using the later 4L60e transmissions?

    What motor mounts do you need to use?


    Thanks,

    Steve

    I used the 4L80E that came in my donor rig. (2000 2500 6.0L.)

    I'm sure a 4L60 would work just fine also...I wanted the 4L80 because this is my main tow rig.

    I used Advance Adapters motor mounts Part# 713088-P.

    Guys,
    I tried getting the headers this past weekend, but...
    I plan on getting them this weekend, so hopefully I will have some pics for you very soon. Sorry about the wait!
