    Jerry and Emily thanks for all your info would like for you guys to do an ls swap in a 1980 ‘s with a4l60e or 4l80. Need more knowledge on how you guys will bolt a stock transfer case to a newer transmission . Thanks keep up this wonderful videos

    • @UglyTruckExperience
      @UglyTruckExperience  2 роки тому

      We have done this on our 1974 K10. Had to buy a adapter from Transdapt. It was somewhere around 1000.00 for the adapter. Using that adapter was the only way for me to keep running the stock NP transfer case. Requires tearing the transmission completely down. Haven't had anybody ask to have us do 4x4 for them yet but would definitely take that on and would also do video for sure. We are going to be doing a tranny tear down and will discuss that in the video describing what I had to do. Thanks for watching

    Great job, nice to see another low buck solution for increased output in higher HP applications. I did one on an '87, that was much easier because I just replaced the the electric pump with a high pressure unit and adapted the existing plumbing to my needs. Nice to see the original tank being used. My only question is if that '87 module would fit the '85 tank ? Could you have just mounted a high pressure pump in it and adapted the pressure and return lines as needed ? I also run the Corvette filter/regulators, return right back to the tank and run a dead head line to the injector rail for the constant 58 psi needed with a stock output pump. This would work great with the 255's on higher HP applications.

    • @UglyTruckExperience
      @UglyTruckExperience  3 роки тому

      My plan was to mount the pump to the 87 sending unit and drop it in, but it was too tall for the 85 tank. But I was really happy with how these pumps turned out. Thanks for the info!

      @hardball107 2 роки тому +1

      @@thruitallauto2538 I cut a chunk of fuel cell foam, bored a 8" circle in the middle of it and pushed it into the tank. I then wrapped a few lengths of heavy safety wire around the pump so they stuck out and inserted the pump into the center of the foam. The foam stays in place held by the safety wire and sits in the middle of the foam, the return line also shoots directly down into it also. Seems to work OK so far.

      Thanks for watching! We wanted to just mount a pump on the 87 sending unit and drop it in, but this truck is an 85 and the 87 sending unit was too tall for the tanks. Either way, we would have to modify it, so these kits were an easy way to set up the pumps and sending units exactly how we needed.

      @mikehiers4819 3 роки тому

      Hi folks, wondering if the switch valve in the 87 is able to handle the higher pressure? And, is the 87 pump(s) power feed heavy enough for the larger pumps? And how about the R/L switch? Thanks for the great videos!

    • @UglyTruckExperience
      @UglyTruckExperience  3 роки тому

      ​@@mikehiers4819 Thanks for watching! Check out this video about the rest of the fuel system. ua-cam.com/video/HcaAvC2aOVY/v-deo.html The original switch valve has a max pressure of 65 PSI that is capable of handling the 60 PSI that this engine runs on. I err on the side of caution that the pumps are capable of putting out 90-100 PSI. Doing it this way all of the parts I used are capable of carrying well over 100+ PSI. When it comes to dealing with fuel pressure, you can't be too safe. As far as the power supply to the fuel pumps, you need to have at least 14 gauge wire. Make sure it has a 20 amp fuse that protects the circuit.

    Hello!! Could you order a stock 87 tbi sending unit and then get a walboro 255’s for both tanks? I’m looking at getting two tbi tanks as well since they have baffles around the sending units, and then just plop on one of those fuel pumps. Any thoughts on that?

    • @UglyTruckExperience
      @UglyTruckExperience  Рік тому

      Yes you can. We have a couple that we just did that I bought 87 fuel tanks and 87 fuel sending units. I installed Holley Sniper fuel pumps. The Walbro 255 only puts out 45 lbs. pressure so you will need a different pump if running a LS. I used www.amazon.com/dp/B07BHG28RF?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

    Absolutely love these videos! I have an 85 K10 with a 350 that I am planning on converting to fuel injection and I love the idea of using the Fitech pumps and sending unit mod and putting the whole thing back in the stock hole in the tank.
    I wasn't quite clear about how the adapter is made though. Sounded like a tubing bender, which I don't have access to. Would you be willing to explain it or even maybe make a couple of them for me? I'd be more than willing to pay for them because the adapter is probably the only thing holding me back at this point.
    Again, Thanks a tom for the great videos! I could never figure out all this stuff on my own!

    • @UglyTruckExperience
      @UglyTruckExperience  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Chad! Yes, we make these adapters with an exhaust tubing bender, just a couple flanges welded together and some holes drilled. We'll do a better job of explaining them on our upcoming swaps. I'll talk to Jerry about making one. It's a little difficult when we don't have the tank here, but I'll see what we can figure out. We appreciate you watching!! 👋

    Question does the factory fuel tank switch valve assembly strong enough to hold the higher pressure of the in-tank pumps? I have dual tanks on my truck as well and appreciate your video, well done. Can you make and sell the adapters you made for the Fitech unit?

    • @UglyTruckExperience
      @UglyTruckExperience  2 роки тому

      I wish I could make them to sell but they are so specific to what you are working on that it wouldn't be feasible. I personally don't like the factory valves because the max pressure on them is 60 to 65 lbs. These pumps are capable of 100 lbs easily so I try to make a system that can hold that with no problems.

    • @C10Scottsdale
      @C10Scottsdale 2 роки тому

      @@UglyTruckExperience One more question since you have dual electric fuel pumps. Do both pumps run constantly regardless of which tank you're running off of? The dual tank valve only routes flow, not power.

    • @UglyTruckExperience
      @UglyTruckExperience  2 роки тому

      The pump only runs when drawing from that tank. Those pumps need to be submersed in fuel to keep them from overheating so in the event that tank was empty you wouldn't want the pump running. Thanks Jerry

    • @UglyTruckExperience
      @UglyTruckExperience  3 роки тому +1

      No, it doesn't work on the in cab tanks. We have a 1970 and we ended up buying a tank that sits behind the rear axle. We left the original tank and ran a line to the rear tank to fill it. It's kind of complicated, but we have a 40 gallon fuel capacity and didn't have to move the fuel filler. We'll show it in a video someday. Thanks for watching!
