My newest project

Whelp i've had the truck for about 1 month now. Ive driven it plenty to find all the bugs, found all of the rust, and now have a plan of attack. Here goes

Here lies the newest project:



The picture before the Guy on his tire bachelor party




It has a 350 SBC 4 Bolt main, Edlebrock performer intake manifold and a 660 WEBER 4bbl carb. Other than the MT valve covers. Those are the only engine mods i have found. It has a 3 spd on the floor (Hurst).

What ive found bad:
Typical rust floor pans, rocker panels bottoms of doors and driverside front wheel well
Blown HG
Carb is running WAY TO RICH
Speedo no worky! Cables a fudged
Gas gauge no worky! Need new sending unit
Needs new throw out bearing, Thats a noise little bugger
Needs new rings and bore, if i decide to use this motor
388 heads
Few dents in the bed.

My plans:

I just so happened picked up a 355 for free with 041 heads that ive recently had rebuilt. New everything.

I recently bought a COMP Cams 12-211-2, New lifters, new timing chain set, new bearings, new rings, new oil pump, new water pump, full felpro gasket set.

The guy who bought all of my honda stuff is a friend of mine, he also does alot of body and paint, im thinking of a dark red coral crystal.

Im starting this whole build next week.

Ill post more pictures of it later, also keep this thread updated.
