Is this just an engine build?

This is starting as an engine build! lol already have done alot of interior work and lift. might have to post some pics at the end of all that also. injectors left for witchhunter today and goodies coming from lc engineering also ordered today.

 

I'll go ahead and treat it like a full build then.

Good luck - looking forward to the pics!

I did manage to get the block clean and a little paint on it last night. Plans for tonight are to get the bores honed and then clean all gasket surfaces. maybe get the rotating assy back in there.

Rotating Assy is now back in the block.

Now just waiting on the Injectors to come back and for my cam to arrive. Still cleaning other parts getting them ready to go back on. hopefully I will be ready to swap all this over in the next ten days.

 

cool...i would have just cleaned the block and than painted it

 

block has been cleaned and painted. It is painted gray. I dont like black as if it ever has a leak it is hard to see on black

guess maybe i misunderstood. I did prep work after i painted that way any overspray got cleaned. might be backwards but the way i have always done it right or wrong. lol

actually block was cleaned before paint just didnt clean head surface or hone the cylinders till i was ready to install the rotating assy

 

Looking great guy! Oh that interior was nasty, way to go on the cleaning, looked brand new, great score on the tires, the body and what I could see of the frame looked good, nice toy, I subscribed and look forward to more :}

 

Thanks John. Interior looked like ten hogs that all smoked lived in it for ten years. Gutted the truck and cleaned piece by piece. redyed it all. found a decent seat and carpet from a wrecked truck and it is all good. lots of time and about 60 bucks.

Frame and body are in great shape with no rust through. One spot of surface rust about quarter size on the gate. Truck Needs paint but i dont know how to paint so it will be last if i ever do it.

I have been watching your build thread also. Your truck is coming along nicely also! Cheers!

 

Thanks dude, about to post what I did yesterday! :}

 

Guess what? That was my first dent I ever did, I was amazed on it, maybe I wasted my life doing other jobs. It was fun doing it :} I might kick a panel in just to fix another dent again, No way!!!! I'm Just kidding!!!! Now gotta do under tail light F-UP now, no easy fix there like other dent!!!! Have a great day :}

 

Just got a call from witchhunter. Boy from the sound of things i sure am glad i sent them out. They received them yesterday and leaving to come home today... Great service!

 

Just a little update. Head will be ready today. injectors should arrive back from witchhunter tomorrow and goodies from lc engineering will be here tuesday. radiator will be ready monday. so it wont be long before i am ready to pull the old oil burner out and slip the new engine in. yipee!!
