Re: My 70 2wd Project begins!
New 6.0 is installed and running! It doesn't look any different than the 5.3 but man does it sound different! We installed a mild cam (LPE GT2) and some 853 heads with yellow springs! I took some video but the sound on the camera sucked so I will shoot it again with a better camera next time.

Still needs a little cleaning up but not to bad!

Thanks for asking - He is doing some better but still has a hard road ahead. Tomorrow will be his 8th trip to the operating room in less than 5 months. He spent 75 off his first 100 days in the hospital and we have nurses here most of the day to care for him - he's a tough kid! We are grateful for the strength God has granted us to walk through this! It has been a hard journey.

Man! that engine is looking amazing! Such a clean install and engine bay. Awesome!


Sorry to hear of your son's health problems. I'll say an extra prayer for him.

Looking good. Glad to see this truck coming along and your son getting better. I have been watching this tread for a long time. I can't wait to see some pics or video of it on the road.

Re: My 70 2wd Project begins!
Totaled up the big ticket receipts tonight and total was over $28K - did not include any paint, body, labor and probably another couple grand in random receipts. Guess I will be losing a little on this one - wow that hurt.

I'm actually surprised it wasn't more. Are you finished?

Re: My 70 2wd Project begins!
While I had the hood off I cleaned up the hinges a little. Didn't spend alot of time polishing but a definite improvement. You can see the 2 done and the 2 yet to be done in the pics. Also got the front aligned and windshield in with the help of EBFabman. No pics of that - other than the ones he took and I have yet to see Maybe he'll throw one on here for kicks.

Trying to get it ready for the Goodguys show next week - need to get this thing sold!
