Hey bro, good to see you over here. It's been a long time coming, but she's almost there!

Thanks! Yeah, he did a great job on the headers & exhaust, and at a great price too. I was hoping to go back to him for some more fab work, but his shop burned down and he decided not to rebuild.

Hydratech hydroboost unit fits perfectly! I went with this mainly for the braking power since the stock vac brakes wouldn't work with my cam, but it turns out it gave me the extra room I needed for my custom headers too. And fits perfectly with the wire looms I chose. Still have to make some new brake lines and install the ps hoses.

Custom piece to make it work without having to modify the brake pedal (this kit is actually for a C3 vette):



Since it's for a vette, it was easy to find a nice polished master cylinder:



In the truck:



Looking good:

Almost done. Need to get a new rad hose and then fill it with coolant, change the oil, double check that all the fuel fittings are tight, load the tune, prime the engine and see if it starts. Hoping to have some vid to post tomorrow, that is, if it starts LOL

Looks fantastic. I too used the Russel Pro Classic fuel line and love it. Very slick.

Thanks. I love the Pro Classic hose. I had stainless braided before, but now that I've used this stuff, I'll never touch the stainless again.

Thanks. I'm really happy with how the custom headers & exhaust turned out, just can't wait to hear it! Might get to fire it up tonight.

Thanks guys. I was hoping to have her running this past Sat, but the crank sensor is bad. I'm out of town for work this week, I'll be putting in a new sensor this weekend and hopefully she'll fire up. Videos will follow.
