Nice swap! What gas pedal are you using? The Monte Carlo drive-by-wire?

Sounds like the mileage is in line with what you were expecting finally, that's great!
I'll email you and see how the Ouray trip went... we took my 60 to Crested Butte with 5 bikes and a space case on top, 3 people and 1.15 dogs over the weekend. I got like 12mpg...
Also, I did the steam vent line thing from V8 conversion manuals, parts for V8 S10, Datzun Z, Jaguar, Chevy TPI & TBI, Colorado, Astro Van V8, Volvo 200 & 700 and soon after replaced my rear heater lines... I have to say that it was just as hard as it ever was to get the air out of the system even with that vent.
Can any of you give me any insight into mounting my new aluminum radiator? I need to make some kind of strap on the bottom for support. The upper supports I can do. I just can seem to start on this one thing. Call it a mental block. I have a Griffin universal radiator. Thanks.
Great lookin rig!!! Im extremely happy to hear Im not alone in the never ending silly questions to @TRAIL TAILOR lolololol. Did He do the sliders too? J- I would love my incoming front bumper to look like that!!! Work of art!!! The red hooks on front will match my Freeborn rig!!!Been a while since I've updated this thread with my progress on the ol' goat. There's been tons of camping, lived in a few other states, and eventually stolen from me then found a year later back in 2017.
Most recently had @TRAIL TAILOR throw in a full front and rear coil conversion. First and foremost, from shuttling me to and from the airport on weekends, to the never ending dumb questions I sent them, J & team were amazing to work with and handled my concerns with patience and professionalism. From the get go, as soon as I took it over a few bumps it was clear that this thing would soak up all I could throw at it.
This weekend I finally got to take it out for some light duty wheeling to see how it would do. At flex the rear coils are hitting the upper link mounts some, and the rear driver coil is rubbing on the frame, but I was quite happy with how it performed and the ride was much more pleasant.
Overall, I've been super happy with the product and service from the TT team. Thanks for bringing my DD into the modern age!
Edit - I forgot to mention they made that front bumper as well. I really like how it turned out.
