With a lot of help from my loving wife, wise father law and apprentice wrench fetcher son Erik, we got the engine and tranny dropped in Project flatbed today. Here are a few pics

Oh BTW my expert 5 year old photographer took this pic

)

dubie · 11-15-2003, 10:35 PM

Man it feels great to make some progress!!!

dubie · 11-15-2003, 10:37 PM

The only changes were the cam shaft , flat top pistons, moly rings , it used to be a 2 barrel intake now a 4 that will be outfitted with a rebuilt Q-jet and yeah the HEI.

67cst · 11-15-2003, 10:40 PM

i see your ramhorns dump straight down, is the 350 out of a 4x4? i heard that 2wd trucks dump back and 4x4 dump down? thats looking awesome

*RandysGal* · 11-15-2003, 10:46 PM

Looking good, Timmy

Way to go, one step closer to driving to Indy. BTW, Good work to you Shawna

*Slams_58* · 11-15-2003, 10:51 PM

This truck won't be coming to Indy. It'll only have 2 seats and 4 people!
