Builds 6.2 going into my 62!! With TT coil conversion (3 Viewers)

Hooker headers worked out great, no issues at all.

The problem and solution.

Okay, now I’m happy. Enough room to barely slide my hand between plastic cover and hood. Sits a little close to axle but guess it will improve with my 2” coil lift.

Also received thus gem yesterday.

Hoping project will accelerate once I get my new axles, lift and coil kit from @TRAIL TAILOR

 

[Jdog]

Okay, got intake sorted out and happy. Thanks! @NCFJ and @tmxmotorsports

got some new goodies for my Lincoln Electric210mp. Time to learn how to TIG weld

Started fabbing up crossmember. Really like the Swag finger brake with harbor freight air jack and press.

 

[Jdog]

Productive day. Fabbed up a cross member and got old suspension removed. Still some finish work on the x member but it’s mostly done.

@TRAIL TAILOR my frame is lookin kinda naked.

Long overdue update. I’ve completed the suspension, had the frame dipped and e-coated, under coated the body and started assembly.

 

[Jdog]

Had to clearance the spring bucket since the 80 steering box is slightly larger than the 62.

There hasn’t been an update in a long time. Can’t wait to see this done!

 

[Jdog]

Hahahah yep, my wife too! lol. It will be her daily driver.
I got side tracked and was shelved for a couple years over covid. Just now getting back to it.

I will post up some pics but have body on frame and almost all plumbing done. Then electrical and transmission linkage and prime engine after sitting so long. Thanks for bumping the thread!
