motors done!









and I apologize for the bad video quality, that's all I could get.



helped my bud recover this(tow company)






the pedals touched the seat and the steering wheel was broken and about 8 inches from the back seat...


that holley 600 I traded for was garbage, so I bought a quick fuel. and then I saw this at autozone...



I might try it anyway, ya know after I really enjoy the quick fuel.


picking it up on Friday so there will be some more progress.


also talked to a guy about a custom cross member made out of 2x6x1/4 ill get it setup so itll give me enough of a drop, even with my lift and sas planned for the future

Engine looks good! And that Street Demon, if it is the little one, might be good for it as the primaries are very small.

Wow! That truck is BADLY mashed. Did it hit a bridge abutment or get hit head-on by a semi? That may be the worst I've ever seen.

Missed the video - now I see what you mean about quality. Anyway, the engine sounds good!

As for the truck, I hope the people lived through it, although I can't see how.

I'll bet! And, when you get the gate get the wheels - at least three are holding air.

I've got the motor!
Left my clutch in my other truck in sc. So I couldn't start anything (reassemble)

Ended up sitting at 10:1
Headers are being ceramic coated by a friend
(my intake crushed the middle tube on one. Anybody else have this happen?)
Have a quickfuel 600 on it
My valve cover fit over the rockers(rollers)
What fuel pump did my motor come with? Mine is off of my old engine and I have a weird new one in a box laying around that has like a soup can sized and shaped thing on top of it.
Now I get to do the rewiring. And figure out my throttle and fuel and how it'll be ran.
Also once she's in, I'll get to welding my custom cross member and hopefully my dshafts will fit?

Oh he custom ordered the push rods and he had closed shop by the time I got there on Friday, but he thinks the push rods were 10.25 or 10.125, he wasn't sure off the top of his head but he said he would check on Monday and let me know.
