i wannna see pics of your this! ahaha dont even get me started on weird lookin... ive done some crazy things...

 

Hey man just read your entire book on here hahaha awesome job, you have been through it all! Looks like it was worth it though.

 

Engine turned over 1000 miles today on the way to work

 

And its now burning oil

 

Sorry to hear about that. Hopefully it isnt to bad.

 

With the price of oil, you may want to fix that, also, nice find on the bed..good luck

 

Man, sorry to hear about the truck, are you still planning to come down to get the bed?

 

Ed ill be there burning oil or not, guy at works gonna run a compression test to see if its rings, or valve seals

 

Sweet, I was worried there for a second...now I just need to find something to trade you for that Hurst shifter! LMAO!!!

 

haha get my machine work done on my block and its all yours and update, motor is out and torn down, needs a rebuild again, rod bearings were about to go, headgasket was about to blow, and my pistons were really loose in the cylinders, gonna have it bored, crank polished, gonna build it the way i wanted it, not cutting any corners this time, did a compression test before rebuild and all cylinders were below 50 psi

 

i want pics of the new "super-motor"

 

Probly won't be a lot of pics, no time to catalog like last build, but there will be a few

 

Dropped block off today, being decked and bored .20 over

 

Sux that happened... but YOU'RE ON IT! Nice to hear it's gettin solved, man!

 

yea, in a way kinda glad it did, building it how i want it, bored, cammed, head shaved, weber, header, dual row timing, dome top pistons, gonna be a hot little engine

 

Hmmm, heading HI-PO roads, are we? hehe... Doing any head work aside from CAM?

 

head was shaved .014 last rebuild, might do a minor port and polish, mainly need this motor back together asap as i move in 2 weeks

 

On the new bed you are getting, I would suggest pulling the inner panels and cleaning the dirt and mud that builds up there, that is why they are always rusted in wheel well area. Those panels have such big gaps, anything that finds its way in there cant get out.

Hope the rebuild goes well for you.

 

I was planning on doing that Terry, thanks for the heads up, didn't know thats why they rust out

 

wow dude thats awsome, has really come a long way
