Thread: 32 ford truck project

Then I proceeded to gather parts.




Long block from a member on PT.net. It had 39K on it and was super clean. Luckily I know him well and he is local so I knew the history of it and how well it ran.




Pulled it apart and cleaned up the short block. Heads were taken to a local machinist I know well and he shaved .025 off the heads and they got a nice VJ and he set up the springs.




Cam Came in




Decided to keep some of the "Retro" look and went with a EFI Vic Jr. and an Accufab 4150





Steering column is a Ididit with a billet wheel



Engine set in with intake on the floor went with the LS3 vette pan for this.


Got the column in and testing fitment on the 4L60E... holy tight fit



Stainless Hardlines with Aeromotive FPR and the nasty alt. mount..... this gets solved later. FYI the accessories are all LS3 vette





More on the inside column... yes it needs to be painted



Injectors in and playing with wiring


Got the transmission fitted, center section in, and driveshaft built.




Made a 4 corner 4AN steam vent and made the new low mount alternator bracket.




Then I scored these off of LS1gto and had to figure out a way to solve the "SUPERCHARGERED 2005 PONTIAC GTO" engraving. 1in endmill and some 304 SS mesh did the trick



Finding coils was a pain in the ass but got them finally and had to order new plug wires because the truck wires are too long.

Then I had to solve the issue of the PCV... I did not want rubber hoses so I made this on the lathe. It is a press fit pcv from a LS1 that is threaded 3/8th NPT to 6AN...fits nice with the catch can I think.



How it sits now with one of the 3/8th Stainless pcv hardlines
