Re: pdx-sanity66
One more package showed up this afternoon. This is it for now for the engine.
Still got to get the transmission. New Tru-Ram exhaust. I went with the cast iron for more of a period look and I plan on painting them cast so they'll look as is. And here's the elusive character behind all this.

Re: pdx-sanity66
Now that is a great looking engine! Good luck getting it all together and getting your transmission. Keep the updates coming!

Well, it was a rain free day in Portland so I decided to uncover the chassis and turn it around in the garage so the engine side is more accessible for the winter projects. It hasn't been out of the garage in a while so I thought I take a few pics. I also cleaned the casting marks and crud off of my serpentine belt brackets, smoothed them up a little in a couple of places and bead blasted them. Just waiting on paint and their done. Sorry about the picture quality. It was getting a little dark and I didn't realize they were bad until I posted.

Re: pdx-sanity66
The next one I do will be stripped down to the frame like yours.
I can only imagine how much easier it is to work on stuff like the engine and brake lines with the cab off. I have a nice creeper, but I dont love it that much... I bet you are looking forward to getting some stuff done this winter !!

Re: pdx-sanity66
Thanks. I can't wait to drop the engine & trans in but want to finish running the brake lines first.
Quote:
I'm really looking forward to doing some mechanical work again. The body work needed to take a rest for a bit. I went down to the trans shop talked to them about transmissions yesterday and after hearing what they had to say, I ordered a HD 700r4 that will be built to more than handle my engine hp and torque and it will be ready by next weekend. I also ordered a CPP tubular center crossmember and mount. By spring I hope to have the chassis and drivetrain completed.

Good choice on the trans! What rear ratio are you going to run?

Re: pdx-sanity66
So it was 66farmer that had what you needed?
Cool. . I got to meet 66farmer when he bought one of his seats from a guy in Milwaukie where I got my fleetside bed for a possible future project. Fun Stuff.

Re: pdx-sanity66
Just read through your whole thread and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the motivation. I am about to do both my rockers and floors and your pics and WIP have helped me understand the job I'm about to tackle. I ordered all my sheet metal from Top Banana yesterday.
