New old guy.

New here today, first thread after checking it out for weeks. I'm in Kennewick Wa. Just found great deal on short 78 C-15. Needs a lot but I"m finally gonna get my Hot Rod. I'm stoked. 61 yr old wanna be mechanic so we'll see how it goes. Local machinist has put together 2pc 4 bolt w 5.7in Scat rotating assembly. With my budget he recommended finding Vortec heads for good price. I did, $180, so hes preparing them for more than .470 lift. How much more will I need? I dont know yet. He hopes I can afford hyd roller set up. I'll listen to all opinions re: cam, lifters, intake and carb, ANYTHING re this type truck build. I'll be thrilled w 375HP+. Sooner than later I hope I will do 4-5 front rear drop. Body, paint and will be last. I plan on doing the whole build picture thing, why not huh? I guess Im committed, For Sale sign will come out. I thought 2,800 was a good price for me and buyer.
