The shifter was a bit sloppy is all. I will probably put that column up on E bay soon.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

I put some paint on today. Yeahhhhhh.... It is only primer but it dosn't look to bad. It needs some touch ups. Next is the firewall and maybe even some color soon... The patch on the right inner fender even turned out pretty good.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

Looks like the engine is about ready to drop back in. Looks real good :metal:

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

I am hoping to get the truck up to the shop sometime next week and get that firwall painted so I can drp the engine back in and start bolting stuff up.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

Your project is coming along very nice. You are going to be very happy with the serpentine system. Great job...:metal:

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

Thanx for posting your trials and tribulations with this install. I'm hoping to dive into this this winter. Just need to find a decent BBC. Looking really nice.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

You might as well move mine also.. :D

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

Subscribing as I have the BBC on the stand.:metal:......searching for exhaust options right now. Updates please!!!:lol:

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

I have don't nothing. I am waiting to paint the firewall but really don't want to do it in my garage. I could get busted and fined. I don't have a trailer to get it to my shop space and now I don't have a truck to tow it with. I need to get the 66 going so I can tow it up there and spray it.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

The waiting game.......I understand that well enough.:smoke:

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

New update.. Oh there are none. Been working on the other truck. Dying to paint this darn firewall but can't do it in my garage for fear of getting busted and fined...

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

I was like,, busted and fined..? then i say you were from Cali and that explained it all :lol:

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

When I sprayed the high build primer. My neighbor asked me if I was doing some thing with epoxy. I just looked at him and said "yes".. :D

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

I can't believe this much time has gone by, not much new progress..

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

if your still waiting on a trailer. i will come and drag that thing for you for some bbq and gas?i have a tahoe and a pretty nice trailer.:metal:

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

Thats funny same my neigbhor said, that was the last time I did any painting

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

Thanks for the offer.. I do have a truck lined up and can just rent a trailer from U Haul. I am just not finding any time to git er done. I am right now trying to get the house in order for my kids b day party. Doing some much needed painting and stuff. After that I can deal with the truck. I am hoping by the end of this month I can bring it up to spray it. His party is Oct 2nd.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

I'm installing a big block in my 66 and I have a few questions.
I see that your using tubular engine perchs are they from Brothers if so what motor mounts did you use?
I went to Napa to pick up some but the ones that would fit look a little lite duty.
Hows the truck coming along.
Thanks

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

All I have done was set the engine in so I can wire it up. After I am done I am going to try and get the truck up to the shop so I can paint the firewall and put it back together. My 8 yo wants to go for a ride in the truck again. I
I got my mounts from www.truckandcarshop.com . They seem pretty beefy but then again I am not building a high performance truck. Just a crusier.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

I have been mocking up things since I can't paint the firewall yet. I need to run some wires and brake lines, oh and don't forget the fuel line. Here is a preview.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

Cool. I dig the serpentine set-up.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

I didn't relize I put the new pictures in here.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

looks great, but I'd paint the firewall... (JUST KIDDING!) What costs more, the U-Haul trailer or the EPA ticket for painting in your garage?

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

getting caught would be worse. My garage is a mess and I would probably be slapped with cleaning it out.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

still waiting. We want it done by next summer to cruise Route 66.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

Could you tell me where I can get a air filter cover like yours.
Thanks

Looking good John.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

Just needed to add these photo's to my thread. At least I finally got it painted. Now all I have to do to put it back together is tow in home and change the output shaft on the tranny. I am putting the trans that was in my 4x4.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

Looking good. Finally got some paint on the firewall. When you bolting it all back together?

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
 

The plan is to bring back to my house next week. Hopfully the tranny will be done and then I will bolt it back together. If that plan come through It might be running by mid June.. Only time will tell.
