How's your truck coming?
Mine is going slow... but...SLOW...The money has been flying out by the thousands toward the project over the last few weeks and it looks like I aint done an "effin" thing!
Got the engine, it had two broken exhaust bolts, I thought I would have to take it to the machine shop but I found an extractor at home depot and it worked! I warmed the aluminum around the bolt a little and the tool jerked it right out!
I ordered the cam, it is on backorder till the end of the month
Ordered the carb style intake, carb, and air cleaner for LS engines by Edelbrock, ordered new timing gear
MSD plug wires... high output oil pump...Headers...transmission, torque converter, adapter, flexplate, and mount, and wiring harness.
Somebody took off the starter, alternator, power steering pump and their mounts so I had to buy all that stuff new.
Had to buy a new F-body oil pan(with windage tray and oil pickup) because the truck oil pan hangs too low.
WOW!! Big bucks and I still can't do any thing right now to get it going.
Should be able to kick ass on it the end of the month though.
See you soon, we'll go have tacos de lengua!

Nice job pulling the broken stud! Sounds like that is going to be a bad boy engine too! Just wonder how you make the engine fire without the fuel injectors? PCM reprogram? Just curious,
