Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
A little progress from this weekend. I got my valve springs installed along with the Brian Tooley racing Trunnion upgrade for the factory rockers. Also installed my new timing chain and ported oil pump. I'm just waiting for my fbody oil pan to come in and I can button this motor back up. Then I can prep and paint it.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Thanks Mike, I'm ready to wrap this motor up and get back on the bodywork. It has been a nice distraction as I was getting burnt out with sanding but it's time to get back to it.
Thanks Jason, I really enjoyed working on it. It's the first time I ever tore into a motor like this and I had a blast. Quote:
Wow, that would be awesome Chris, it would just take your amazing truck up another notch, if that is even possible. If I had your big block with the roller cam and fuel injection I probably wouldn't have made the switch at this time.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Motor is looking good Keith. All those upgrades should put a smile on your face. I probably missed it but what color are you painting the motor?

Thanks Tom, I still have the big block and the turbo 400, in the spring when it warms up I'll get the frame out of storage and pull the motor and trans to sell. Know anybody who wants it lol.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Yesterday I got my fbody oil pan installed along with the front timing cover. I was finally able to get this pos harbor freight motor stand to turn all the way around to allow me to install the oil pan easier. I had to reinstall my balancer to make sure the timing cover was centered and lined up correctly, after I got the cover torqued down I pulled the balancer back off so I can clean it up and paint it. I'll reinstall it after I paint the block.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Keith, I got my LS started last night. I put my coil packs on the inside of the main cab support between the support and the trans tunnel on the tow board. It was a close fit, but they are in there. I forgot to snap some pictures, but I'll see if I can get some tonight!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Sorry for the lack of updates guys. I have had a major setback in my life that may force me to sell my project and never see it finished. This is the last thing in the world I want, I have way to much time, energy and money invested in this project to just let it go. I am going to sell some things off the project like the wheels and one of the motors (not decided which one yet) to try and recoup some funds. Hopefully I will be able to keep the truck but in the end if I have to sell it, then I will. I won't have any updates for a while as I try to sort this out.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Keith, real sorry to hear that. I know youve worked your butt off in this and have a lot more than money invested in this but there's other things that are more important to take care of. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you work through this.
