Thanks. I'm really enjoying this truck. Even if I've had it parked longer than I've had it driving lol. How is the big block swap going?



Got the bottom end taken apart. Last thing that needs to be done are the freeze plugs/cam bearings but I'll let the machine shop take care of that.






Nice and grimy. Still has the junkyard markings


Debating where or not to keep stock crank or go with a scat crankshaft.


Not a bad block... just dirty


I'll end up buying a stand for this... dropped a 327 crank on my foot last year and I was limping for 2 weeks... my buddy had it leaning on a pole and when we were cleaning out the shop it landed dead on my 2nd toe knuckle.... I've never hit the ground so fast in my life... not even while being shot at haha.


That's what I was mentioning last night. It went in a few theads... might just have the machine shop take it out if I plan on using this crank


Stock cam I'll throw on ebay dirt cheap.
