Messed around with my engine today, I had an old set of wires and said to myself what the hell..................Houston we have lift off, started the new engine up and it sounds awesome. Sure am glad I went with the Big Block.

I think I may be on to something.....Took the drive shaft out of my 1964 GMC parts truck, factory power glide and checked the drive shaft
measurement........Looks like a perfect fit for the Big Block Chevy and turbo 400 trans swap with engine in factory location.......Can I be this lucky ;)

That color is going to look great on your truck. Can you answer a question for me. I'm at the point of installing the big block in the frame. I see that you have yours in. I'm using brothers tubular engine perches what motor mounts did you use.
Thanks for the help

The engine sounds great, really like the exhaust system, but I the Mother's Day Jam was the best.
You guys know how to have a good time, NO DOUBT.:metal:
