1974 K10 Dirty Sancho

I thought that hole was supposed to be sealed, and the trans vent was there for "air management"...

Mid length headers that are great quality are the Hedman elites 69830 IIRC. The collectors end up in the frame rails height wise. Easy to route exhaust too, it's a straight shot over the trans cross member.

Not sure what that is but it's leaking out of the center of the yoke. Is there an internal seal on the yoke? I'll have a new shaft built after I chop the frame down.

Looks like it’s leaking tranny fluid.

Maybe that's true. In which case there's a hole there that shouldn't be.

There is a plug in the driveshaft slip yoke, and it's a fail point. JB weld works well to fix it...

I read a couple other posts suggesting epoxy on the whole yoke air hole.I'll give that a shot.

@tRustyK5 thanks for the header suggestion.

Thought you guys might like to see this, it's not often these are preserved on the inner fender.

Ended up picking up some cheap Chinese headers of eBay for $75 to my door. They fit pretty damn good and the quality isn't half bad.

And with the stock transmission crossmember blocking the path of the exhaust I decided to make another that was more accomadating.

That's a bitchin work table and then there's the granite. Lol that's badass.

Helped my buddy demo his kitchen a few weeks ago and scored that piece of granite in the process. It's pretty nice for layout work.

Nice work as usual! Making it a short box should be a synch for you...

Looks good

Thanks.

I haven't done much with it over the last couple weeks however I did find some time to fix the yoke leak. By fix I mean JB weld the vent hole....

 

[LIVEAnimals]

Haha that’ll fix it every time

Last couple times I needed to move sancho so I can access my trailer or the K10 it was running really shitty. I figured it was the q jet from the K10's BBC so I scored a edelbrock 1406 for $75. While installing the edelbrock carb I noticed the lack of heat marks on the 5 and 7 header tubes. That was one of those light bulb moments....I must have swapped them when I put the new headers on. The 1406 still went on since it has an electric choke.

You can see the lack of discoloration on the header in the pic below.

Thought about it but it's just too loud still.
