Alright, time for a little update. After a few months of multiple weddings, vacation, grandfather's surgery 110+ degree heat etc. etc.. I'm back.
So far in the last couple weeks I have managed to sell a few parts and order a couple things from LMC to start putting my front suspension back together. I have received both upper and lower control arm mounts for both sides and a set of trailing arm bushings for the rear. I just love getting a box of goodies!
I have also managed to tear down the 327 that came with the truck. Found a not-so-pleasant surprise in that process. Apparently some genius decided it would be a good idea to GORILLA WELD the harmonic balancer to the crankshaft.
Besides that, and the obnoxious smell of burnt oil and gas from the oil pan, it wasn't too bad. Block looks pretty good. I will be sending it for a date with a boring machine soon..
I will post pics soon so ya'll tune in! lol
