Hi Oz, I did have the frame blasted before the powder coating. The frame originally did not (as far as I could tell) have any under coating. I say that because the frame you see before the coating was so covered in mud and grease, you couldn't see the actual frame. If it did have the under coating on it, it got blasted off. Now technically those gauges did not fit my bezel. The speedo and tach were just 5 inch gauges and the smaller gauges I believe we're 2 3/4 inch gauges. I had to shave the holes out to fit the gauges. Interesting tidbit: The clock in the center, I had to make a filler piece to fit that one in. It was too small of a hole to fit a 5 inch gauge and too big for a 2 3/4. I was really happy with how it turned out. Although I did end up selling them. Any other questions are very welcome. I love talking trucks!

Well the blasting will definitely take off the undercoating as well as everything else that needs to come off. And those gauges I used were the Auto Meter Phantom II style gauges if it helps. Good luck and happy building! Need anything else let me know!

So had to jump on this deal a little earlier than I wanted to. But it was on sale for Black Friday from Summit so I just had to go for it!

I had heard horror stories about these blocks, however, aside from the tiniest amount of surface rust around the holes for the head bolts, this is a great block! 880 casting, clearances for a 383, factory roller, 4.030 bore, and a 4 bolt main! This thing will rock!

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom

Did you use those CPP tubular mounts? I have those same ones. I had to do the same thing and drill a hole and move my motor back. My headers were hitting the frame. I have headman headers shorties. I cleared it on my frame on the passenger side, but I'm still catching the inner part of my frame on the driver side. I decided to notch my frame ever so slightly. As for the firewall. I had room to spare. Nice tight and clean. I love the look of your truck. We are polar opposites tho. You don't do chrome and I do! Lol! Didn't want to ruin your build with all that bling to show you the outcome of the mounts. But you can go to my last thread and see it. I just did it. So it will be easy to find. Those mounts are really a pain. You will need a certain header to fit so research it. I actually have different header part numbers that will fit those mounts. I just don't know how they will match your other applications? Let me know if you want those header part numbers.

Just looked/read through your entire build, man you weren't kidding, that's a lot of chrome! Those are the same mounts I am using. I already have a pair of Hooker super comp headers for mine. I will notch the frame if it comes to it. It is good to know that you were able to clear the firewall though. I have been really nervous about that. I would love to see a picture of the space you have between the engine and firewall as well as the space between your belt and your radiator fans. All in all you have a really bad ass truck man, nice build! Can't wait to see more!

Thanks man! I will take a picture and post the firewall and radiator space on my thread for you. The frame is no biggie, I just hope your header clears that mount. That's the big dilemma! I just don't want you to be caught unexpectedly in the middle, like I was. Luckily I was warned early about the mount. The frame was a different story!

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom

Ordered a bunch of parts today. Ordered the diff cover, trans pan, oil pan, valve covers, breather, and a few other smaller parts. I know, I know, seems a bit premature, but remember, I have to get these all powder coated in two tone and that takes a while! Pictures to come!

Thinking about these now,
These are the valve cover hold down bolts.

Do them black or do them blue? That is the question

Very modest beginning. I also gave the block a new paint job. Kinda hard to see from these pictures though.

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom

I also moved the engine build into my back living room inside the house. With all the cold and the rain my garage is way too humid to keep in there. I kept getting small spotts of rust.
