Re: 71 4x4 BBC Swap: Doing what I should have done the first time!

Sorry for the delay in updates, I've been busy at work and saving up cash to buy parts. So this is where I'm at. I got the block back last week. Fresno Performance decked, bored, honed, line honed, and clearanced the block for the stroker setup. This last weekend I was able to get some paint on it. My first order from Summit Racing came in on Thursday and got a shipment from my buddy today. Another thing is while moving the truck around I broke my rag joint on my steering shaft. I was able to find a nice used one, and broke that one first try. So I call around, did some searching, and found a really great price for a heavy duty steering setup from Borgesen. I ordered a 24" telescoping shaft and two HD U-Joints for just over $200. I also ordered my DIY4X Cross member. I'll be getting that in the next week or so. Currently I have a bare 489ci BBC Stroker Block that is waiting for innereds. I have H Beam Connecting Rods, Keith Black Pistons, Edlebrock Air Gap Intake, MSD HEI Distributor, and Doug Throley Header. I'll be ordering the rest of the internals next week. For now here are the pics of my progress.
