2 Hours??? You planning on having lunch and drinking some beer during the process??

 

No kidding! I'd be on the road back to here in under 20 minutes...LOL!

 

A state of confusion mentally... lol... Physically, I reside in South Dakota. But, I travel through Iowa to get to my job in Nebraska... Clear as mud?

Oh, everything I own is for sale.... for a price...


And to Buck, the original person who started this thread: I think it is safe to say this thread has been hijacked!

 

This aint hijacked....You see see the vote for a new BC chapter leader thread, that was a hijack.

So what is the 79 selling for.

Ya, that was as clear as thick mud.....so basically your somewhere....lol

 

Well geez.....I guess I was gonna leave things somewhat neat for George. I guess I'll just hook onto it with the cherry picker and "find all the weak links" and jerk it out without loosening any bolts. Nevermind that radiator. Everyone knows the quickest way to pull and engine is to just hook the engine to my Dodge and pull!!!

Jake - Don't you mean your FIAT?

 

Ouch.

Sorry Jake - That was a bit out of line

 

No, George. Jake just realilzed we're on to what he really drives!!

 

Well Boys, Sadness Struck Today Had the 428 sonic tested and the block is basicaly a boat anchor. 3 cylindars are very, very, very thin due to rust from running water through it for years. So guess the plan now is to build the old 360 into a 410. Still will be a good strong running motor but I was really looking forward to a 428.

 

That sucks George.

I have a 460 that is in need of a complete rebuild.
But if its of any use to you, its yours free of charge.
It did run ( barely) when I pulled it out of an old truck about 6 years ago.

Just an open offer, I am not using it.
You pay shipping is all.

 

Thanks Marty that is a very generous offer! I am trying to keep an FE in it so that I don't have to change the transmission and stuff. It will actually be cheaper for me to just take my 360 and build a 410 using the 428 crank and rods in it.

 

Sounds like a gorgeous truck when its done George.

I hope the build goes smoothly from here on out for you buddy.

 

I was updating my gallery and tried to create another album because my one album is full and for some reason, I'd create a new album and then it wouldn't show up. So, here is a link to my photobucket.

Buck:

TRUCK LOOKS AWSOME! I may also ad that you have very good taste in wheels! Have you thought about a roll top for the box? If you have, take a look at the Jack Rabbit or Full Metal JackRabbit from Pace Edwards. I just installed a JackRabbit on a pickup and it looks very nice. I have a regular Roll Top on my 69 which looks good but the JackRabbit series sit flat with the box and take up less room up front. Enjoy it!
