Re: 1971 K20- project just get driveable!!
Long overdue for an update. A lot of life has happened in the last year or so. More on that later.
Finally found a little time to work on the truck again. Yanked the engine out as it was only running on 7 cylinders and I never could get the one valve to seat and give good compression. As such, I have only been using it around the property and to plow snow. I did put another ochre bed on some time ago for a better paint match.
Finally assembling and putting in a new crate engine that I ordered about 3 years ago. Here are some pics. Takes a little while to degrease the used manifold, spark plug shields, wire clips, paint the water pump, paint manifold, build a oil pump priming tool, round up the misc gaskets and rubber pieces. Anyways good to be back at this spare truck.
