68short step,
How do you score these sweet deals? I would have gladly, drove up to Tulsa and picke this combo up. Of course, if I had known it was for sale and cheap enough for my no buck project....Looks great after the detail job. The Cod Fish will run like a champ with this powerplant!

68 short step · 12-04-2009, 12:32 AM

on this particular combo it was timing...rob was ready to buy "now", so it wasnt to bad finding the combo, but got real lucky to find such a low mileage engine...we were literally about 15hrs to late on getting a 5.7 LS1, we had at the shop...the thing is when a good deal comes along you have to pounce on it, cause if you dont the next guy will, and rob was ready.

Awesome build. Can't wait to see more.

68 short step · 12-16-2009, 12:14 AM

a bit of an update, the engine/tranny are completed.... the wiring is finished...computer is tuned...only thing left to do is fab a gas pedal mount, and mod the pedal to fit in the stock location...here are a few pics, sorry bout the garage being a mess, i got like 500 boxes in the past couple of weeks...

VA72C10 · 12-16-2009, 02:03 AM

Very nice! Can't wait to see this thing come together!

**rob32472** · 12-16-2009, 08:36 AM

Don can't tell you how impressed I am with attention to detail and communication you have given on the engine and tranny set up for me.

Well motor will be here on the 31st so looks like I will be spending new years installing it body is out for paint so just been working on the frame getting brakes ran, and installing my wheels I have decided to run the boss 338 wheels.... I did not have issues with diameter of front hub but I did have to space for the cap to fit spacer or not I think they look great.

mcbassin · 12-29-2009, 06:42 PM

Those wheels are Awesome! What size and how deep did you have to go to buy them? I would to get some like that.

**rob32472** · 12-29-2009, 06:44 PM

The wheels were 1400.00 with tires.... they are 18 x 8....

VA72C10 · 12-29-2009, 08:55 PM

Looks great man. Really like those wheels on there...still thinking about them in 20X10 rear/20X8.5 front in chrome like yours for my project...

**rob32472** · 01-01-2010, 04:11 PM
