Re: 1965 Stepside, The LST Challenge

Sunday was some nice weather for a change. I got outside and worked on getting a space in the carport cleaned up and big enough to put the 6 liter on the engine stand to see what I have to work with. Turns out my current $375 investment on this truck has provided me a recently rebuilt trans and a Gen4 LS engine. The oil was pitch black that I drained out and the inside looks like it might have a zillion miles on it, but the thrust on crank is nearly negligible. Next I will get the heads off and see what it looks like in the cylinders. I hope I can get away with a SBE on this engine. Current thinking is now I have the base for a 1000 hp turbo engine...Not sure I will go that far right away, I will just set up the short block as if I was going for that goal, just not go with a big enough turbo right away...
