Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)

So it's been an interesting ride since our last update. We finally have our engine and we've been making upgrades. We have the 6.2L torn down to a short block, swapped the cam for a Texas Speed stage 1, installed matching dual valve springs and Johnson link bar hydraulic roller lifters. Had a setback when we were bolting the heads down, broke a head bolt. It's a drag and getting the parts/tools to fix it delivered has been a hassle. We hope to pull the old engine and trans this weekend and get it to its new home... well actually its old home in Rusbuilt's shop. I'll throw up some pics and maybe the updates will come a little more often...
