Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Thanks 63short. I'm also raising kids and trying to keep the wife happy. It's a delicate balance but sometimes the wife will just have to be pissed. I'm going to try and get it drivable by summer. Pay no attention to all of the deadlines in my thread that I've blown by. This one's for real.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Thanks Joe. Happy New Year to you too. I'm trying to make time, believe me. I'm about to hit the 4 year mark and I want to drive the old girl before I die. Seriously, I day dream about driving it all the time and can't wait to actually get in and fire it up.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Nice! Thanks for the motivation. I actually spent all day out in the garage cleaning and organizing stuff so I can make some progress next week. I might have enough money to pull the trigger on the transmission I want. I'm planning on getting the new Tremec RS 500 5 speed. Wish me luck. Thanks RAD.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Oh, I'm getting the machine work done on my LS2 right now. I'm going 4.030 bore and standard stroke to make 370 cubes. If I had another grand I could buy the stroker set up and make a 408. I'm still trying to sell my old 350 on craigslist, but no luck yet.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I never loose the desire to work on it. I think if I could start it up and hear it runs some time soon, that would be a huge fire under my arse.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I aired it all the way up and rolled it out of the garage the other day to organize and get ready to tear into it again. It's been far to long since I made any progress. I did get my ls2 block decked, honed, cam bearings installed and rotating assembly balanced last week. I've got to get a cam and oil pan and I'll be ready to build it. I did a test fit with some SBC to LS adapter plates I made. I'm going to have to do a little reaming but it's close. More soon.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Thanks Delmo. Yes, RAD I'm trying to stick to my new years resolution and get something done. I've been shopping for transmissions and I think I've decided on the new Keisler RS500. It's an update to the TKO stuff and the price is a little cheaper. I'll try and update more frequently and not fall off the map again.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
That's big praise from a couple 60-66 veterans. I'll see if I can live up to it.
And RAD, change that damn profile pic!

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Johan, if you're talking about the number 1 exhaust tube and the CPP mount, there wasn't any clearance till I took a 1/4" off of the mount. Now there's a ton because the motor is on a stand about 10' away from the truck. I've got it on craigslist again, because I need some cash for a new trans to go with the ls2.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I got the adapter mounts done and bolted the block in. Then I thought, what if I just put on the heads to see where they'll sit and what if I put the intake and throttle body on and what about the engine cover? And this is where it ended up.
