t is in. As usual, there were a few snags along the way, but the bunch helping me had a way around every one of them. It is not running, but the engine is in the truck, the truck is back in the shop and I can do the rest of the detail stuff as I get to it. Thanks to everyone that has helped throughout this project, you guys are The ****...

Re: Victim of changes...
 

Fred did this engine come in the truck and you rebuilt it or just cleaned it up outside?

Re: Victim of changes...
 

It was a decent running, mild small block. We just pulled it and cleaned it up a little.

Re: Victim of changes...
 

Thank you. We will be glad when it is running again,, finally...

Re: Victim of changes...
 

It is always something....

Re: Victim of changes...
 

The dreaded,, LIST....

Re: Victim of changes...
 

I have been grandpa'ing the last couple of days, but I am back on it once again. Man, i am slow, but he list is getting whittled down.

Re: Victim of changes...
 

Are you planning an oe air cleaner or chrome open one?

Re: Victim of changes...
 

I am glad you asked......

Re: Victim of changes...
 

I have lusted after one of these for years, just never would spend the money. I think it looks perfect on this motor....

Re: Victim of changes...
 

Super cool.

Re: Victim of changes...
 

Thanks guys,, I am kind of proud of the way it is turning out. I usually don't go for the clean, detailed look, i am more of the crude, it runs so the hell with it guy. I have sure learned a lot doing this one like this.

Re: Victim of changes...
 

It Runs..... A big difference from start to (almost) finish. Just need to get the hood back on, do exhaust and drive the piss out of it...

Re: Victim of changes...
 

Well piss......

I just had a case of The Dumbass. I snagged the garage door roller as I was backing out to put the last couple of parts on. I already have a new bumper on the way and am getting ready to list a bunch of parts to pay for it. Just one of those things, oh well....

Re: Victim of changes...
 

Yeah, it could have been worse. How did the garage door track fair?

Re: Victim of changes...
 

Bummer about your bumper. I feel your pain, I ran over a tow bar in my yard and it whacked the snot out the bedside of my truck.

That Batwing air cleaner is too cool, I need to put one of those on my "Dreaded list'

Re: Victim of changes...
 

Looking sharp there good job.
The air cleaner looks cool all snuggled into the firewall like that.

Bumper doesn't look too bad,even though a new one would be perfect wasn't there any trees around too try and push it back in.

My kid did the same thing a few years ago except going into the garage with his old s10 blazer...I think that was grill # 3 at the time.
The 91-93 grills were known too be tough as hell but somehow he went through 4 or 5 of them in 2-3 yrs.:lol:....I still have a spare hanging in the garage. And my flashing and track have never been the same since.

With the new bumper on its way what's next for the shop truck?

Re: Victim of changes...
 

It is all wadded up too. Supposed to be having one of those brought out this evening.

Re: Victim of changes...
 

Yes, it was a bummer way to start the day, but if that is all i have to complain about then I have it pretty good. I have wanted one of these air cleaners for years and think it is exactly what this project needed.
