Dont lose it man.....get it together so it will move and you'll be all fired up again. I miss seeing all the fabulous work you do.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I never loose the desire to work on it. I think if I could start it up and hear it runs some time soon, that would be a huge fire under my arse.

Was this truck for sale on craigslist??

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Absolutely not! They'll bury me in this damn thing.

i wish you all the luck you require

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I aired it all the way up and rolled it out of the garage the other day to organize and get ready to tear into it again. It's been far to long since I made any progress. I did get my ls2 block decked, honed, cam bearings installed and rotating assembly balanced last week. I've got to get a cam and oil pan and I'll be ready to build it. I did a test fit with some SBC to LS adapter plates I made. I'm going to have to do a little reaming but it's close. More soon.

well its good to hear,i think i rember something about a new years resolution

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Love this build.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Thanks Delmo. Yes, RAD I'm trying to stick to my new years resolution and get something done. I've been shopping for transmissions and I think I've decided on the new Keisler RS500. It's an update to the TKO stuff and the price is a little cheaper. I'll try and update more frequently and not fall off the map again.

cool beans

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

ditto kat ! This truck is bad!!

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

That's big praise from a couple 60-66 veterans. I'll see if I can live up to it.
And RAD, change that damn profile pic!

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Seen your headers there.how much clearance do you have between #1 and the header?

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Johan, if you're talking about the number 1 exhaust tube and the CPP mount, there wasn't any clearance till I took a 1/4" off of the mount. Now there's a ton because the motor is on a stand about 10' away from the truck. I've got it on craigslist again, because I need some cash for a new trans to go with the ls2.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I got the adapter mounts done and bolted the block in. Then I thought, what if I just put on the heads to see where they'll sit and what if I put the intake and throttle body on and what about the engine cover? And this is where it ended up.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Yes.:metal::metal::metal: Fire it up.:smoke: hell your done.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

It might need a gasket or two, a rotating assembly and a few other parts, but it didn't stop me from taking a mental test drive. Trans and bell housing are on the way.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Man that looks great!

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

thats how you keep the vision

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Looks good Greg :metal: Can't wait to hear it run.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

You and me both, Dennis. It's full speed ahead. I'm really going to try and fire this thing by the end of summer. damn it.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

sounds like a plan we'll be right here chearing you on!!!

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I just got and email from Keisler. The RS500 is on the way.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Nice stuff Greg!!!! I'm just as excited as you.
