Good luck with the engine pull and pickup....

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Thanks, Rus! I gotta drive the bus in the am, and we usually go Sun night, but I think, if we need to, that the Lord won't mind us working a bit;). I will see how much I get done tomorrow.

Chuck, YOU are the MAN!!! Thanks!

Thanks, man. I look forward to meeting you and giving you a hand.


P.S.......Got tires mounted on wheels, and they look GREAT!! I will take some pics as I work tomorrow and post em up!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

great build to follow-thanks
i find it really interesting hearing other peoples thought patterns on what to do with there projects- means i'm not the only one going backwards and forwards on which direction to go.
i had the luxury of a good running 305 to slot in mine and keep driving while i did up the i6 -292.
so far i have a fully rebuilt shortblock with 307 pistons and picked up a turbo at a swapmeet a few weeks ago and i still have the head to do so i won't rush into the swap back to 6 until i have a fully finished runnnig motor on an engine testbed.
look forward to more updates.

Looking back over this...There is a truck just like your up the road from me...I want it LOL Short Box Stepper...Always liked steppers

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Jeff you should try and get it!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Thanks, man. I wanted to turbo my 6, but it seemed to be over my head. I will be excited to see how yours comes out, though.

X2!!!!:metal:

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Got called in to work this am, for an emergency. Just got home, and am waiting till 2 to see if the guy who has my motor is getting of early so I can go pick it up!! Today has been a bust so far, (truckwise) but I made some extra money, and I DID get a package in the mail, that will give my new powerplant a place to "perch" lol.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

.(**). Wonder what you got?

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Got home with the motor, Mom and Dad stopped by, so will wait and unload tomorrow in the light. Too dark for pics, but will post some tomorrow!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Big thanks to Rus (Rusbuilt) for his help today. We got the front end back under her, put new wheels and tires on, and got the motor unloaded and in the shop. All in all a great day! Suspension will need some slight adjustments, and motor will slide in on some new perches from my buddy thelonerife (Chuck). BTW, Chuck, I found this awesome drill bit that throws chunks like a chainsaw!:metal:

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Awesome. I know your glad to get it on rubber again.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Always be glad to have ya, Chuck! I'm ready to come help you for a while, too. Maybe one day this month (if you get some stuff for Christmas), or maybe we could do a combined day for you and Rus since he can't work at his place.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Grats Matt on getting that engine. Truck is looking good.
