Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside

I am putting the engine in the stock location. I am putting a built 700R4 and I already have the shaft for it. If I move the engine forward I will have to have another shaft made up. There is plenty of clearance for the dist cap to fit in there seeing it is the smaller HEI.

That was the first paint job. I really didn't like the way it turned out. It looks much better in pictures then in person. That was also my first paint job and I have learned alot more now. I did rebuild the truck once and drove it for 4 years and started to develope rot under the left door and there is a big scratch down the right door, so I decieded to upgrade. I still have the engine that is all painted blue plus another one so I am not short of small blocks, and they are both TBI engines.
I also switched from a stepside bed back to a fleetside. I really wanted a fleetside in that year and maybe I will pick up another stepside again after I am done with this one.
