Yikes! Sounds like cubic dollars going into this engine.

We're all going to want to see the assembled engine and of course the truck it goes into - especially if you put that much effort into the chassis and body & paint.

This is a once in a lifetime thing for me. I bought this truck in 1980 when I got out of the Navy in SoCal. Chassis will be boxed and braced. 8.50 cage. Wilwood 12.88 disk 6/4 Nickle plated calipers. Secondary remote drag radiator w/electric pump, Primary radiator w/mech pump and electric fan. Electric P/S. Electric A/C w/remote condenser. Electric vacuum pump (brakes}. Mcleod RXT duel disk clutch. Mcleod hydraulic Throw out bearing. I have 128 available gear ratios for my rear end with my current 4;11 R/P that I can change in 10 minutes from 2:34 to 8:56. Gleason Torson diff. Bicknell torque arm. Pan hard bar on leaf springs. Front axle custom high strength tube 4" drop by Superbell on leaf springs. Dakota HDX gauges. Body Firethorn Red Pearl, fenders will be black. Rear fenders will be widened 2". Not a big fan of tubbing. Better stop now already too long. Thank you for your time.

Re: show those engines

Picture of my LS 6.0/4L80E test fitting in the 57 I am doing. Made 472 H.P. at the crank. Should be a fun ride with the C4 suspension. Steve

Re: show those engines

I know one thing, my 292 is getting gray paint to go along with all the finned aluminum. Jemenzcrusher's 235 solidified that plan.

The idea has always been for the unknowing eye to think it is a fully decorated older six.

You're "throwing the book at her" lol. Can't wait to see the end result. I'd never do what you're doing but I also said I'd never do what I ended up doing to mine. I told myself I was building my post-retirement daily driver and it'd be cool and reliable (LIAR!) Oh it's cool and it's reliable but it's waay overbuilt to be a daily. But I admit I love fender-fondling her! Enjoy yours - we will from afar.

It doesn’t look so big in the cavernous engine compartment of these trucks.
