Yeah thats what Im hopin. Itll be one sweet build though. I have already thought about what I am doin with it.
Yeah the engine trouble was a nightmare, but after trying everything I just figured screw it and lets go new.\
I am still planning on wheeling. I told Scotty up at Addicted to tag along if he wanted. I am shootin for Sat. if I can find some more people to go.
Heck yeah!! Red is a good color on these trucks!
As far as a diesel, I have always wanted to try a diesel swap but I have just never gotten around to doin it. May be in the future though, ya never know.
hey zach you still goin up wheeling next week? im pickin up my front shaft tomorrow. i just read through your build thread and wow i cant believe how much engine trouble you have had. i built my first 22re for 650.00 parts and machine work with new pistons, rings, bearings, wrist pin bushings, line boring, turning the crank, resizing the rods, decking the block, and a full gasket kit through gun automotive.
but let me know if you are still planning a trip and what day to see if i work or not.

There are few rust free rigs out here and the ones that are rust free go for alot of money.
