I need to live vicariously through you until I can begin my truck.

Please post LOTS of pictures.

Thanks for the interest, I love the 61! I'd have gone with a 6.0/4l80e but I had the th400 already and I wanted drive by cable mostly I didn't care if it was a 4.8 5.3 or 6.0 for what i'm doing.

Today i got in a test fit of the motor and checked to see how the drivers side truck manifold would fit, its close but with the flange chopped off and V band it i think it'll work out. Name: IMG_0553.jpg

I was concerned as about these cpp frame mounts that were with the truck but the f body pan seemed to fit okay

My 2" blocks and c notch showed up today, so i figured i throw the blocks in to see how the truck will sit before i do the rear end up. I was shocked to find how much higher it is then my orange truck which has 5" drop springs and 1" blocks both trucks have a 6" rear drop total. Now the orange truck has been together for about 12 years so I know its sacked out some in the rear (which i like) just didn't realize it was that much. Now here's some pics

Once i get the motor and trans in I think I'll be good with how it sits.

I got the motor and trans in today and the timing cover drilled and tapped with 1/2" npt for the turbo oil drain along with drilling and tapping the oil cooler block off with 1/4" npt for the oil feed. Now if my log manifold would show up.... anyway here's a couple pics

I thought the truck pan would be a little low so I sprang for the f body pan but looking at it in the truck I think would have only hung a little bit below the crossmember though being a cast pan I'm glad its tucked up there
