Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks

Has taken 77 hours to get to this point. I figure it will be another 3 or so hours to weld together depending on how much the frame wants to flex and oil can. Id love to complete it all together ready to powder coat in 90 total hours...

Haha thanks man! Yea ive basically become best friends with a bench grinder. All of the notches are done free hand so as the project went along you learn some tricks. Primarly whatever you think you need to take off, material wise, grind off about half and test fit haha!
The car if its blue is a 71 challenger rt with a 383 stroker. If its a truck then its a 59 chevy fleetside with a crate 350 regardless thanks!

I know about take about half off other wise you end up with a pile of tubing that is worthless to anyone other than the scrap pile. Yeah, it was the Challenger. I'd love to have one some day!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks

So started welding the chassis together and its just taking a bit of time cause just want to make sure it doesnt warp real bad by heating up. So the technique is just weld a few joints then do some body work and let it cool down. When body filler is applied while waiting for it to harden weld a little bit more ect.

In the mean time i transfered the body from my house where alot of the work was done to it and brought it over to my friends shop so that i would have a bigger spot to work on it as well as making the chassis mating alot easier.
