I'm excited to say that I invested about $3500 into my Sanity today. Things are getting serious now.
Updates to come soon.

Gapp · 10-24-2013, 05:44 PM

Great work! I would be foaming at the mouth with 3500 to drop!

NEWFISHER · 10-24-2013, 05:51 PM

Crate motor or Porterbuilt?

McMurphy · 10-24-2013, 08:53 PM

You got a shifter knob....

Ta2Don · 10-24-2013, 09:13 PM

Must be some spendy seat covers...

TJ's Chevy · 10-25-2013, 03:45 PM

Must have gotten one SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET set of mirrors!!!HAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!

theastronaut · 10-25-2013, 04:00 PM

Seat covers would be nice but that's down the road a ways.

Mirrors? I don't need mirrors. I don't care who's behind me.

Thanks, John. I've got them both done now except the mod on the brackets and some paint. More pics soon when they're finished.

**pdxhall** · 10-26-2013, 09:57 PM

This will be here by next weekend plus a harmonic balancer and flexplate. I'm also going to check on a 700r4 trans, Tru-ram headers, and HEI distributor. I would like to know some opinions on what HEI to get. I know there are some that don't fit too well with the firewall in these trucks. I'm tossing around the idea of MSD pro-billet. What do you think?

McMurphy · 10-27-2013, 12:10 AM

Wowzaaaa !!

rusty76 · 10-27-2013, 01:24 PM

That's going to be fun.

Bomp · 10-27-2013, 02:05 PM

Way cool on the motor showing up.
There are quite a few some small diameter distributors out there to choose from for clearance issues.
Good luck with the motor. Can't wait to see it live.

Ta2Don · 10-27-2013, 02:49 PM

Better than the Spendy Seatcovers I envisioned...

Nice!

**pdxhall** · 10-29-2013, 03:18 AM

I'm getting pretty stoked right now. I just checked and my engine and stuff will be on the dock in Portland tomorrow and hopefully delivered Wed. which is the start of my weekend. I'm going to work on getting my 700r4 ordered, also. Have any of you dealt with Transmission Exchange based here in Portland? They have a heavy duty trans that I've been looking at that sounds pretty good.

LostMy65 · 10-29-2013, 07:21 AM

I have no experience with that company.
.
Man! That is going to be a nice power train.

**pdxhall** · 10-31-2013, 07:28 PM

I just got delivery. unpacked and first shots of the winter project.

Bomp · 10-31-2013, 07:35 PM

Congrats.

One major step in the right direction.

Ta2Don · 10-31-2013, 07:38 PM

Very Nice!

LostMy65 · 10-31-2013, 07:48 PM

I'll be swinging by this weekend to pick that up.
Thanks,
Robert

mark 66 · 11-01-2013, 05:57 AM

I know, right? And I didn't think I'd been that good this year.

Thanks T.J. Not a 383, though. That was one of the options I had thought about but in the end decided to go with the 350. 330hp and 380ft/lbs torque.
This should get Sanity down the road just fine, I think

**pdxhall** · 11-01-2013, 09:34 PM

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.
