In this episode, I figure out how to mount an LB7/LLY radiator and intercooler to the 1981 C20 core support! Also I pick up a new (to me) cab that is virtually 100% rust free!
@@hongmihnhahn7081 I haven’t done that quite yet. I have to do the bodywork on the cab first so it’s gonna be a little while before I figure out the shift linkage!
@@richphippsgarage I’ve followed a large group that specifically use c10s. Currently gathering parts to finish my 408 stroker build then looking to buy a bowler performance t56 and move on from there
@@richphippsgarage what’s your final compression ratio on the 408 in yours? I was wanting to go 10.5:1 with a turbo at first but with the whole covid scare parts were hard to get and ended up going with the 12.5:1 wiseco pistons so we shall see what my static cr will be once I assemble the short block and see what size chamber heads to go with to get my final numbers. Was told 12.5-13 will be a fun truck
@ccooper04 it’s been a while since I’ve done the calcs but I think I ended up with just over 11.5 static compression. I was setting it up for boost as well so I threw in some PRC ported heads a stage 2 turbo cam from TSP. So. Much. Fun. 😎

Thanks! It's been a super fun build and there is more coming soon! Its a CSF 6007 intercooler. Here is a link to it at Summit Racing. www.summitracing.com/parts/csf-6007?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKCAjw15eqBhBZEiwAbDomEkMRFdHKpLIN0HfyXZ3JS8lNNvwJ_1vfkP0_CwI8i5S_alU6pzfZ9hoCXNMQAvD_BwE
I am doing this same exact project. THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THIS CONTENT 🎉🎉
Glad I could help!! Thanks for watching!
oh there is space for electric fan ! i had thought placing intercooler forward more is necessary
Yup! I was super skeptical the first time I set the core support on the frame and saw the available space. It fits but just barely!
@@richphippsgarage did you connect shift linkage? Can i know how you do that?

We do everything for the stickers! Great video!
Truth! One cannot have to many stickers or magnets from Rockauto 😂. Thanks!
I’m actually building my c10 for autocross.
That’s awesome! There’s a huge aftermarket to make those trucks handle on course. Good luck with your build!

@ccooper04 You’re gonna love the 408/t56 setup for sure! That’s exactly what I have in mine and I couldn’t be happier with it.
