well I started a thread a while ago about tire sizes for my truck, I promised and update after I boughtt new tires, so here it is....of course you all know that you can't just do one thing once you get started so.....new tires turned into new(er) engine and one peice driveshaft as well. We planned on just swapping out the tired 327 for the newer, regasketed and sealed 86 gmc 350 in a weekend, but once we got into it we decided to fully detail the engine bay. By WE I mean me and my Dad, he helped me out a ton working on it weeknights while I was 500km away working. I made 3 weekend trips back to work on it before we finished. Dad also donated a lot of parts here and there, as well as the engine itself which he paid $200 for.





what's the last thing you do before you pull a hurting engine and put on new tires and driveshaft?


this is after a day of pressure washing and scrubbing the engine bay. I was tired of the faded black, green and blue patches and yellow over spray.(can you blame me?)

the paint we used on the block has to be sprayed in two stanges to get a nice sparkle: silver
