Found out last night that the block needed 2 sleexes at .030 and 1 at .040 . I spent $670 on SRP pro series pistons , so 2 sleeves it is . I m also dropping off the cam for clearencing tomorrow . Crower sportsman rods and eagle lightweight 4340 crank all balanced . My neighbor came over yesterday and ask if i would help him haul off an old transmission . Turns out it is a 73' TH 350 out of his truck . He had the dealership rebuild it and the service tech talked him into a 700r4 swap and did it as a side job . Turns out the trans has only been sitting 3 years and has low miles . I'll shoot some pics of the current state of the motor and try and update .
