Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
OK, some more progress in the last few days. Got the 350 out as well as trans and transfer case, but I am going to sell this motor. It is a good motor and after pulling the pan, looks like it has had a recent rebuild. I went with the turnkey 6.0 lq4 motor from BD engines in AZ. To make things easier, I removed the bed and cab for body work and to make chassis work easier. I then built a dolly for the bed and cab out of wood to move around and transport when ready. I received and installed my crossmember from pacific fabrication and plan to moch-up the new motor this week. I also received and installed my aluminum tank from boyd welding since I will now have fuel injection. I installed the tank to sit on top of the bottom frame rail and as far forward as I could to feed it from the fabricated filler door on my bed. This week I hope to get new motor bolted in, with new crossmember then start taking it all apart for sand/soda blasting so I can get POR15 on chassis.
