Work on my engine
I did some work on my engine today. The enine builder didn't do a good job sealing stuff up, but I guess he knew I would replace the parts. I put an edelbrocker performer intake on it, as well as my fuel pump and other random things. I still need to order a bunch of new parts, hopefully sometime this week. I don't know whether to buy chrome accesories or stock looking ones, I love shiny things but they cost more money =(. I will order most of my frontal accessories tomorrow, those I can't get cheaper through napa. Then I will connect my transmission to the engine (paint it first), and finally drop it in the truck. At that point there will still be a lot to do: rear end, brakes, plumping, cooling stuff, etc. Theres just so much I have to do that i NEVER took into account, at least not until it started breakin the bank I'm happy though, i will get as many shinies on it as I can afford. I decided not to change out the heads just yet, i will stick with the 305 heads. I know most people would dissaprove, but i look at it as a means of staying outta trouble. I will bump up the heads to vortec heads when I learn more about what they actually do and when I get more money, also change the rocker arms (is that what they are) and other things. For now i think it will satisfy me seeing as how it will be my first vehicle ever to make more than like 10 hp
