Re: 1969 C10 SWB Stepside - Big Block project

Dad and I pulled the bb yesterday and it is now on a stand, headed to the machine shop. I am going to go completely back through it (like I probably should have to begin with, but I just took his word for it) The end result being better than it would have been before anyway. Had I finsihed the truck, had it all painted then spun that main I would have been upset. I'd rather find it now ..

While it's apart (?) Who knows .. maybe some more goodies will find a new home. I have been eyeballing aluminum heads, maybe the Brodix or Dart top end kit. It's hard to say. It has the '290' 454 heads on it now which will flow pretty decent but just for the sake of weight on the nose and overall efficiency I'd really like to go with them. I just need to get the blessing from the wife.

We'll get it. One thing is for sure I'm not giving up.
