Thanks! So far it is what I expected. It will be getting a paint job, but most of the rust areas have already been replaced by the PO. The family approves! I will probably start a thread, but it isn't going to be nearly as much work as most of the build threads here. A lot has already been done.

Oh no you din't. I've been to your compound and seen things. You sir, are the picture derelict. Care to tell the board what you're working secretly on ? You sure don't post pictures of it...;)

Don't worry, I won't tell what I saw

Beats me. This engine was priced right. The truck I'm building now is going to be my daily driver. I will sell the Toyota when I get the 63 on the road. I drove my last 72 100k miles in 4 years and every since have missed having an old daily. The 250 inline 6 cylinder with 3.07 rearend gears ought to give good mileage for those duties. I might put the small block in my dually. Who knows.

All kidding aside, I won' tell what I saw. He's very tight lipped about his projects during the buildup stage. I think he's planning to do one long post of the whole buildup when it's finished.

You will be blown away by it and that's all I will say.

Over in Garland (Dallas). Poor guy lives in deep city environment. I didn't see a single cow or tractor anywhere near there. I sat behind my shop looking out over the pasture and drank heavily when I got back home.

Did Scotti cut his hair to help hide the secret of his project...that way no one could follow him to this secret, cowless environment workshop of his?

He is like the Batman of hot rodders...some where in a hidden garage.............

Started goin through the new rear end... transferring everything from the old to the new. While prying off one of the rusted drums, one of these popped out and came about half an inch from my hand. :exit:

Whoaaa I'm not afraid of spiders either- not dead ones or smashed ones or ones all curled up because they have been on fire....

Here you go Scoti. Here's your old engine. Pictures are weak though. I just did a little hose off and paint job. A few powdercoated pieces sprinkled around. I didn't feel like spending too much time on this part of the project. Still lots left to do. I'm pushing to have it driving by Thanksgiving.

Friday, I tore part of the roof off the back of my shop, and threw it into my truck. made me happy to use it like a truck, even got some small scratches on the outside of the bed when I missed.

I put too much in and caused a tire to rub. PO put plywood bed floor in, and left about 2" over hang on one side of the wheel well.

Just wanting to make sure everything is what it should be. I was confident it was a 250.... but I only know so much.
