Chevy & GMC Vans

My 1939 Chevy hs been in the working stages for a couple of years now. The 6.0 engine and 4L80E trans have been in place for over a year, awaiting time... Still have an electrical issue or two and very little oil pan clearance wit the tuck engine (need a Firebird or Camaro oil pan) but it will move now!!!

Niiiiiiice!

Nice job. Find someone putting a LS1 from a "F" car in an Astro/Safari and swap pans and pickups with them as they are gonna need the truck parts.... HP

Butterfly hood?

Yep[img]http://pic50.picturetrail.com/VOL4 ... .jpg[/img]

Here it is with the 327 that I removed prior to thr 6.0 installation.

Good idea, Stan! I will br puttig one of these in my Astro one of these days, but I'll need the truck pan, IF I don't use another 6.0! Anybody have a Camaro/Firebird oil pan and pickup??

Yeh Joe, if I were to do another gen III into an Astro it would be one of the 6Ls for several reasons.

Man that is cherry!

Thanks! Looking forward to finishing it up and doing more cruising!!

So what happened to that 327 that came outa the car? If you dont mind me askin =)~

That's beauty Joe. Lets see some pics of the whole car.
OK. I just checked your link. Nice.

Joe's teasing ya Skip. Bet the next pic only shows the windshield frame,,whatta ya bet ??

HR383,
Sold it and the turbo 350. Helped fincance the 6.0 and 4L80E project.
Sorry

Rebel,
Check out the link. Lotsa pics of the '39 and a few other rides as well.

327 with power pack heads, of fuelies would have been nice in a Strofari...

Not really. The 327's lack the torque of the 350's and mine was weak even in the '39. It would've been pitiful in the heavier van.
I'm sure we could build one to be okay, but why bother when 350's are available everywhere? I'm still looking for a donor vehicle for another 6.0 and 4L80E for my Astro. THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!
