Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!

Thanks guys. Now the focus turns to getting the engine together.

Here are the parts-
Original block, crank, valve covers, intake, rams horns but everything else is new and upgraded. Vortec improved heads, Full roller cam setup, mahle pistons, Eagle rods, Erson rocker arms, etc. I had the original crank balanced and weight matched pistons and rods. Again, the goal is a truck that delivers smooth power with good idle while making ~360 ft lbs torque for towing and being capable of reliably going across the country, all while looking stock on the outside. What do you think of the components? Now lets see if I can get all this together the right way......
