Hey yall, its back !!!

Sinister is making a come back, with a new engine & trans, but the same ol body

1969 396 BBC, with 113cc oval ports & a slightly lopey cam / TH400 trans

Check the old build thread for previous mods & stuff

Engine

Ugly old heap

Gonna put the bed & front clip back on, with my best 67 grill

**Palf70Step** · 04-18-2009, 07:02 PM

OK, so which one will get done first?

Spray-Bomb · 04-18-2009, 07:10 PM

Which what one ???

I need this thing so I can have something to drive & Killer is a project, so Sinister will be on the road first

**Palf70Step** · 04-18-2009, 07:34 PM

Good!

Wasn't sure if big whitey was still running or not.

Be good to see one of the boys on the road again.

So get to work!! We need to see some results

Spray-Bomb · 04-18-2009, 07:43 PM

You should on the weekends, I work full time now, so Im not quite as capable of screwing around at the shop all day anymore

But I do have money for parts now

**Palf70Step** · 04-18-2009, 08:04 PM

Yeah I know what you mean. Today I got to do yard work all day. Hopefully me and my old girl will get some quality time tomorrow.

Good luck with this when!

I'm sure he does have more, no contest on that.
He could be president, vice president and treasurer of the
Tooooooooooo many projects/builds club.

Ya'll don't even get to hear about all of the ones he almost starts. LOL

Spray-Bomb · 04-20-2009, 08:21 PM

Ok guys, I got a lil more done now

I got it in the shop & the roller front out from under it, then today I got the rebuilt front about half bolted in

Should get it bolted in all the way tomorrow & then I can get the rear end swapped out after that

Once I get the rear done & it rolls again, Ima get the engine & trans ready to go in

my67chevytruck · 04-20-2009, 09:42 PM

Matt,

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Spray-Bomb · 04-23-2009, 08:38 PM

Sorry for the lack of pics guys, but I did get the front end completely bolted in

I should make pretty good progress this weekend tho

nuke1 · 04-24-2009, 07:53 AM

and i thought that i had projects, you have way too many matt, do you work or just play all the time? LOL

OARNGESI · 04-24-2009, 02:25 PM

Are these trucks like legos to you

Spray-Bomb · 04-24-2009, 08:30 PM

Yup

Well I got the sway bar mounted today

I hope to make really good progress this weekend, I would prolly have the engine in, but I have to order freeze plugs

Spray-Bomb · 04-28-2009, 07:36 PM

Sorry for the lack of udates guys

Well I ordered some parts this weekend & cant wait till they get here (its a surprise)

Anywho, I started mocking up my engine so I could see if my headers would fit & make some templates for motor mounts

I also started pulling out my rear end for the swap & in the process it fell on my big toe & either fractured it or severely hurt it !!!!

More to come

my67chevytruck · 04-29-2009, 09:28 AM

ouch... watch your toes bro!!!... progress is progress.....

Spray-Bomb · 04-29-2009, 09:50 PM

Yup

I got my Jegs order today

Should make some more progress soon

STOCKISH · 04-30-2009, 09:41 AM

Well????? What's in the Jegs boxes? Cant wait to see more progress.

Spray-Bomb · 04-30-2009, 09:30 PM

Ok guys, I got some stuff done today

I got the intake powder coated & installed & got 6 of the freeze plug in

Spray-Bomb · 04-30-2009, 09:31 PM

Spray-Bomb · 05-01-2009, 08:57 PM

Welp, I got a bit more done today

Got the trans unbolted from the engine & got it outside so I could steam clean in

Got it all blasted clean & me all wet

Then put in back in the shop & painted it up

Now I need to pull the flex plate & replace the rear freeze plugs & go to the hardware store to get some brass fittings for the intake manifold

More to come soon

Spray-Bomb · 05-01-2009, 08:58 PM

Im thinking the lime green ???

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 05-01-2009, 09:05 PM

hince the name spray bomb..... Looking killer/....

Spray-Bomb · 05-01-2009, 09:23 PM

Thanks

a1953mdl · 05-02-2009, 09:02 AM

That black powder coat on the intake looks great. I was kinda worried about you modifying a brand new never used intake, but looks like it was worth it.

I vote lime green on the valve covers. Not only will it look good, but then will match the sway bar and spindles. Just a touch of color to show off the BBC valve covers.
Do you have green powder coat or will you have to "spray bomb" them?

Any plans on a rear sway bar? (you know how you drive) Didn't that front bar come off a truck with a rear sway bar??? They need to be matched you know.

ANYWAY..........Get this one on the road!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Killer" has that look on it....Thinks it is being mistreated by being shoved outside. Who know what might happen if you don't get back on Killer soon.
Dad
