Got a itch today and turned to my wide thats 7 months pregnant and said I want to finish the motor and put it in the frame. So this is what we ended up with what a pain did it all on the gravel. But it didn't turn out too bad. Next step wiring and mount all the brakes lines again and driveline.

Good luck getting the headers past the steering box. This would be a great time for an IFS install.

Bought block huggers fits real nice. Use to have a 350 in it before I did the swap fit really nice and didn't hit the steering had about an inch of room. My only issue is the booster and master that are on the frame but mocked the exhaust around it

My son sent me this pic of my truck getting the BBW conversion. It's on for a trial fit here but he says he will complete it tomorrow.

I cut some panels out of 18 gauge steel and put them on with 3M panel bond instead of welding. After letting it cure for a day and taking off the clamps, I'm pretty happy with the result. The panels are smooth and flat so finish work should be minimal.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
did you cut out the original parts or bond the new parts over the original panel?

gave the motorcycle a little love today so the truck didn't get much of my time. I DID clean out the bed. I even climbed in and swept it. I work Sunday but a off Monday so I might get out there and solder on the pigtail.

Put in the back window. PITA.

I wouldn't really call it damage, but the firewall had 28 assorted holes ranging in size from 1/4" to over an inch. None were needed anymore because the battery is relocated under the cab, the wiring is hidden, etc... Smoothing the firewall was an easy way to lose the holes and save hours of finish work vs. plugging and welding everything. Plus, I like the look... |

I'm not familiar with the bonding agent you used so when I saw that you didn't cut and weld my mind immediately went to future hidden rust. is the bonding agent a metal? |
