Long time no update. A lot has happened. Swapped cabs. Didn't end up using the red one as we found a better one.
We found the engine had 2 flat cam lobs, so we dug deeper into the engine. It had a ridge at the top thicker then a finger nail and was going to need to be bored over. So instead I used a good vortec block I had. A quick hone, plus new rings and bearings and its good to go. Its running a set of vortec heads and stock L31 roller cam. An Edelbrock Performer intake and 650 carburetor top it off.
We also used the serpentine belt setup from the vortec. The fan sits in the shroud like factory. Photo was from before the shroud was put back on.
Still a lot to do. The wiring is temporary to get it moving, because it's useful for moving stuff around. So we put it back to work. I'm thinking it needs a hand throttle or high idle solenoid to up the rpm for when using the pto winch. It's a bit slow.
