Re: sneak peak
YOU couldn't be more correct, I enjoy the engine build more than, well, I do like the look after shooting fresh paint, but it almost feels like you've created life, after you've put the motor together. I ported the heads on this one, I mean I opened it up almost to the max, and the cam specs are unknown other than its bigger than stock but not over .500 lift, so I suspect 484 lift and 284 druation, which will be fine.Kaegi wrote:the engine build is my favorite part of a restore. very nice!

Re: sneak peak
I posted pictures of it, the truck was in remarkable sheet metal condition, no one wanted it, so I went and got it, and the Engine was a surprise, another forum member, decided she wanted a Big Block, so I picked it up from her, surprisingly good shape, clean, very clean, as if it had been tanked. I may have it finished with fresh paint in the next 2 weeks.wideblock wrote:why did you paint it gm blue??? LMAO!!!!! looks good, what truck is it going into? i havent seen the 68...

Re: sneak peak
Fred will be here this year in a Sweptline, he's meeting up with a truck or some trucks from Canada, in Montana and they are coming down together, he's puttin in some seriuos miles. But not to worry, next year it will still be FREE, and company sponsorship to get the word out to the hundreds or thousands of truck owners who are out there!65alive wrote:One of these days I'm going to get up there for the cruise, you know, in my spare timeMountainMoparRobin wrote: doubt it will make the Cruise, but you never knowIt would be a nice break!
