I just can't remember, but that's a great idea. I was going to have a bung welded in my radiator so I'm not sure what route I'll take.Originally posted by RedHeartbeat@Dec 31 2005, 09:25 PM
Hey, Allen. Where did you see an engine with the water pump tapped on the top where the truck radiator outlet is?
Now that I have a TIG welder coming...
I'll try to remember.
thanks,

'94 Chevy Truck: 8.9 et, 408 twins
Has anyone heard of any brand LT headers fitting into the 80s model OBS trucks for an LSx based motor? Ran into clearance issues with the 2264 Pacesetters I bought, and am looking for options.

Wiring... oh da joy of old-school harnesses (simplicity).
Wiring... oh da PITA of new school harnesses (complexity).
Just got back from bringing my youngest to the physician, minor cold symptoms. He's napping, and I decided to map out my old harness. Fell in love with the simplicity of it, no clutter. Took a glance at just the NBS engine harness, and said, "Oh, shizzznit!" That'll wait til later...

I'll be tickled pink when I do get it runnin'. I've still have purchase a longer driveshaft, gauge cluster kit, and swap the open carrier 2.73 back end. I still don't have an external fuel pump, fuel lines, radiator, e-fans, steering pump lines, and water lines. There's a lot left to do, but in due time, it'll get done. Still manage to keep my family life first. Ya'll know how it is.

Couple more pics... here ya go:
That 5.3L/4L60E sits there like it belongs there. Now, if only I can get a hold of some f-body manifolds/headers (w/o A.I.R. & EGR) to test fit. Anyone know of anyone or any place that might have a set for "not-a-lot-o-money"?

The truck and f-body seem to be the same, but the truck doesn't have that big EGR boss on the passenger side.
