a little help and advice

[txarkitekt]

HOLY CRAP MAN. I just got done reading the thread...FULL frame off resto! Grade 8 bolts, new brakes, dual tanks, restored wheels, etc. Good work! Truck is beautiful! I like the contrast of the black and silver...then the red calipers. Well played.

Ok, as for the fuel system--the 99-03 trucks/Suburbans/Tahoes had the return style fuel system. The 04-07 Classic trucks/Suburbans/Tahoes had the returnless system. Since you are getting an 02 Escalade motor with everything, then you need to get a fuel system from a 04-07 Classic truck.

P.S. Nice Goat. But it needs more mods!!!!!

No prob man. Just glad we could help.

H/C on the truck or Goat? PLEEEEEASE say the truck! I would love to see a set of worked 243s and a 228/232 .602/.612 112+3 LSA cam go in the truck with some LTs and a 3200 stall. That thing would be SICK.

But a H/C on the car would be pretty sweet too...

Hey! Just because it still isn't finished doesn't mean it's so called!
The only one I have currently is terrible, It is in the "my garage" section. I may give it a washing this weekend since it needs it so bad, I can get some better ones then.
I had pics of the WHOLE process from it coming off of the wrecker in my parents driveway until the day it went to the body shop. Then the computer crashed and lost them all. :doh!: Then my money kinda ran dry and my grandmother passed away. The shifter cable was fubar so what little driving it did get to keep it fresh, blew the clutches since it sometimes slip in between drive and neutral(didn't realize until it was too late). So, new trans soon and a few more interior panels, a new top, and new gears she should be ready to go. Just need some more cashflow.

Definatley go with an 80e. Everything he said is right. I'd go with a 4.10 rear gear and she'll snatch you around like a monster! A bone stock 80e will take more abuse than most fully built 60s.
