Hahaha my bad. That’s a 53 6 cylinder 4 speed. Fun little truck but needs some love lol. And the blown 400sbc 64 nova is under the car cover In front of it. Maroon 69 was behind my Tahoe with a 400sbc. The two tone brown cab goes to a 80’s 4x4 frame outside. A few random projects around there lol
Well made headway today! All put back together and it actually drove half decent the whole way home. Still untuned right now so it basically just is mad when it idles but cruising is perfectly fine. I’ll try to get a video posted here soon.
Also never was a fan of where I mounted the ambient...
Got it fired up today! It runs alright untuned but it’s not veryhappy especially trying to idle. Was able to bleed everything and tomorrow will take it down the road to see if it’ll drive.
Yes sir. Same guy that tuned this originally and tuned my c20. Once I get it running and the coolant bled etc I’ll have him come get it all straightened out
As far as the new engine goes. It’s a 5.3 with 150k miles(supposedly). Judging how the internals looked I’d say that’s about right though and it wasn’t super dirty on the inside or the outside.
Parts list:
Front/rear main seals and cover gaskets
Billet oil barbel
New pickup tube with billet...
Hopefully get the new engine put in tomorrow. Maybe even running depending on how everything goes. There was a decent amount of metal on the drain plug so I’m guessing I have some unhappy bearings in the bottom end
Almost forgot last week I replaced the inner axle seals on the front...
Didn’t make it to the shop today. It is a 30-40 min drive now for me and I work graveyard as well now. But if anyone is curious the Tahoe decided almost 250k was enough and the beginning of this month the engine gave out(oil pump).
If anyone has followed my build or remembers the sludge and...
Until I start working really working on it tomorrow, not much happened with it until recently. Here’s some random photo catchup. Still doing audio shows when I can and moved to a new place with a smaller garage ugh.
This was a cool one at the air museum
I am terribly sorry to @05Single. At exactly 9:22am November 10th, 2022 my bestest most nicest ex Tahoe buddy sent me this screenshot from fb. Hahaahahah
I did the same for awhile, downloaded that app and for like 6 months it worked awesome. It was nice getting push notifications whenever someone commented or updated their build thread etc. then that update happened and it wouldn’t work at all. So back to browser for me as well.
Yes I doubt I’ll ever change them. Life’s just been busy and for awhile I was using the app for this forum but it started not working right so it’s just been trying to remember to get on here. If anyone follows my Instagram I post videos of my truck and Tahoe. Thatsquishykid717 is my name on it...
If you have been following my build thread it might be known or probably obvious I absolutely love oem style clear lights. Been hoping someone would make clear style oem tails for our tahoes ever since I got mine. And as of today I got my set!! Got home late so the pics are dark and Tahoe is...
World finals was in my hometown at the fairgrounds. Nice not having to drive. Also was the kickoff/season opener for 2023. I didn’t compete in finals but did for the kickoff. First indoor show we have done which was interesting to say the least haha.
Got new wheels for my pickup. Some 18’s defintiely fit it nicely. Was slightly worried with the fact they are black/polished lip(instant flashbacks of my ****** prelude in high school on motegi wheels with that color lol )
But I think they accent the truck nicely I’m quite stoked on them
Had another show with USACI at the local drag strip. They place the meter in the passenger side kick panel. Which still are scores regardless but I don’t really count them because you aren’t feeling that pressure unless you put your head in the footwell hahaha. But still cool to try something...
NW IASCA regionals was a great but long show. Finally the Tahoe holds over a 55 on music which has been my goal with it forever. Put up my best bass boxing scores. Took the NW regional championship for advanced no wall 1 and bassboxing lightweight!
Couple of guys lost windshields that day too...
Saw someone post these on a fb page. Almost identical to the og apc clears just slightly smoked. Gonna have these be my main set probably winter then bring the apc out on occasion maybe but would rather risk these getting messed up or weathered and they really blend pretty nicely for being smoked.
