Made some engine progress last night
 

Thanks to you guys that helped me out while I was a bit stumped last night. Well I started with a bare block and ended up getting the entire bottom end together along with the heads, push rods and rocker arms done.Just have to get the intake mounted and put on the rest of the small stuff now. Getting closer to start up :D I'll post some pics early next week of the new engine

Sounds like great progress, me, I haven't even been able to get to the barn at all this week - grrrr, I need to get my finger nails greasy!!!! Help I'm going thorough withdrawal.

I know what ya mean Mark. It's like that first sip of coffee in the morning. GOTTA HAVE!!!!!

Cools, glad to hear that things are coming together for you. :cool: I better get busy. :D

I hope to have the engine asembled , have the clutch and tranny bolted back on, and have the engine and tranny back in the truck within 2 weeks. Then it's just the damn body work i gotta finish up

Wow can i have some of your enthusiasm,ive grown to hate greasy hands and fingernails.My projects are all sitting there completly ignored.awaiting new owners.LOL

it's been a long time coming Rat. I have sat on my ass long enough and it's time to get this thing done and driveable. Hope to have it going by the end of june.
