Lots of plans! Dropped off the rods and caps for the machine shop to wrap up the rotating assembly today. The crank will stay standard but the cylinder walls will be bored out to .030. Top end I am keeping pretty simple since I got a steal of a deal on an Edelbrock 338hp/389t top end package along with a Edelbrock AVS 650. It's a basic top end and folks will admonish it for many reasons but it will do what I need it do for a while, and as mentioned I got a hell of a deal!

I respect LS power but if I like simple and I am drawn to older trucks for that reason.
