Re: Project: Shiro
I have one more detail to work out and then I'll map out the plan for all to see.

Re: Project: Shiro
I say do what you want to the truck, it's your truck. I wouldn't listen to people telling you not to rip out a low mile original 6cyl for a hotter setup. In the end it is just a truck not a ultra rare unmolested original everything musclecar worth well over 6 figures. I say rip that motor out, build a hotrod with your son and enjoy it.

Agreed. Start with a clean truck--end up with a schweet truck! 'Course, it's an easy decision when it's not mine :lol: I'm torn on whether or not to tear into mine, too...

Re: Project: Shiro
I like that one, too. Too bad they didn't cast those ridges in the coil covers when they made them. Great plan!

Re: Project: Shiro
Definitely going to have some memories that last a lifetime! My favorite memories of my father and I when I was a teenager were us working together side by side on the 57 Chevy truck he have me when I turned 16. How fortunate for you and your son to be able to build this project together! I can't wait until my daughters and son are old enough!
