55.2-59 Build thread , 2yr gameplan

[bigshrek64]

Hello All,
I am a new 56 chevy taskforce owner, its been my dream truck since i was 6, i still have the original hotwheels truck that started that obsession. Well i finally bought one in december and have been game planning and buying some parts ever since. I have a 1 year plan to get all the frame and suspension done and 2 year plan to be driving it.

So my plan with this truck are:
Bought a wrecked 2010 camaro to use the ls3 engkne from, will stroke to 416 and new heads, cam, and intake will push it around 630hp at the crank.
Using a 4L80e im rebuilding with a 2500-3000 stall convertor.
Using a 12 bolt gm rear end that im going to narrow and change to posi gears.
And inboarding the leaf springs to accommodate 12"wide wheels and tires.
Bought 4" lowering kit for rear end, though im not to thrilled to lower it that much but might still look good.
Previous owner put a 69 camaro front clip on, so im gonna lower the front end 2" and upgrade to better suspension and disc brakes all the way around.
Relocation fuel tank to the bed.
Bought a boxing kit for the frame and tubular x-member kit.
I bought a dash from a 55 bel air that im going to install to replace the stock truck dash.

The nicer pics are my final product plan.
