Good Morning. Looks like a good paperwork day, if there is such a thing.

I certainly don;t do my body any favors by riding with how much I work. But riding is relatively pain free for me, so long as I don't crash!

Evening guys, I managed to finish the suspension on my mom's car this sunday, hit the bolts with some heat and the impact and they came out, I'm very glad they didn't snap! I did have to go to lowes and get new ones though, the old ones threads were pretty trashed.

Made more progress on the garage, I'm glad my folks have been gone while I've been cleaning it out and organizing things, I ordered another shelving unit from true value yesterday, should be able to get it tomorrow.

Had 12 down to 11 chicks. My brown white dog hopefully ate it or it's dead somewhere that I couldn't find it. Engines getting there. Truck is getting taken apart slowly.

Getting things better organized always makes me feel better. Keep up the good work, Kyle.

JB, glad to hear you're making good progress on the engine. Did you decide if you're doing straight rebuild, or some goodies along with it?

Rebuild. Still have measuring to do. Factory crank rods .030 over Pistons. 10.3:1 compression. I don't have the cam specs in front of me.

The 5 speed will go in the truck in place of the NV435 granny low 4 speed. Looking to get 250-350hp and over 400ft-lb tq. Once it's broken in and tuned I will bring it to a dyno




Waiting on UPS for a pushrod checker tool then final assembly.
