Re: 77 longbed "overbudget" build
Well this I finished getting the motor/tranny installed last night. ended up being a pretty late night but was deff worth all the sweat and time. The people living on iether side of me probably arnt happy tho haha I was so excited that I got everything back to gether with the new cam and intake that i decided to break in the cam at 9pm with open headers. lol 25 minutes at 2800rpm! This morning I got up early and went out and buttoned up the exhaust, power steering and about a million other things. Then filled the rear end with fluid and posi additive and took her for a drive.
Once I got the timeing alil more dialed in she is running good now plenty of power and very responsive accept I still seem to feel like I have a miss. not sure what it is at this time. But ill iron that out later maybe lifter adjustment. Also bought a new speedo cable since mine was mangled but now the speedo reads way off! lol barely rolling says im doing 20! I have pics but have to take the wife to dinner to help soften the $900 i spent this weekend on the truck lol.
