Sure does look good. Where is the coolant tank going or is there one there and I don't see it?

there is an aluminum tank by the firewall/fender on passenger side. right where battery use to sit, holds about 3/4 gallon

yes its up and running, got it going last week. needs some tuning still havent had time to work on it. hoping to get to the dyno next week to build a large tune for first truck pull in 2 weeks!
still gotta build my traction bars becasue the axle wrap is just stupid when im on the throttle. and ill probably be needing an intercooler soon because the boost is stupid as well and the stocker is deffinetly not gonna hold up long.
also waiting for my 273 T case and gotta have new driveshafts made. lot to do in 2 weeks. haha

its running good minus the two intercoolers ive pretty much blown to the point it makes about half as much boost as it normally does.. going to get an aftermarket one soon hopefully or build an air/water setup then hit the dyno again
273 transfercase and new driveshafts are all installed, been driving it everyday!

Yes gear ratios are the same I am pretty sure. No pump rub issues and it's just huge compared to the 263, looks like a drop box hanging under there. Ill get some pictures of it. Also able to clock it down for better front driveshaft angles. 1480 u joint rear slip yoke shaft and a 1410 front slip yoke shaft so I've got a pretty strong drivetrain just need to get some new rear axles soon probably. There is a little work required to make them work on a chevy, wfoconcepts modifies them to work and they are ready to bolt in.

That is some very nice work that you did! Congrats!

Have you got a link as to where I can get more info on that transfer case?

Thanks!

Nick

sent you a PM

All of the AC lines are still original except for the one from the compressor to the condensor. i got a little carried away trying to bend the stock one and it looked like crap. so i cut it off and welded on -10 AN fittings to the comp and cond and i am using a stainless -10 braided line with AN fittings. looks MUCH nicer! although i havent had it recharged yet so we'll see if it works or not....
ill hopefully have some new pictures of everything with a better camera this weekend.
