I've been thinking of a new paint theme. Candy red on the bottom and satin black on the top from the first seam up would be satin... Would be something different!

Maybe someone can photoshop it for you. It will give ya an idea of how it will look.

shortbed70 · 02-12-2012, 12:36 PM

I need to try to get on my laptop I guess and see if I have a picture on there. I think it would be different. I'll see if I can find a pic.

That's really odd.

daverod · 02-27-2012, 10:59 AM

Old cam new lifters? Hope it's not too bad. Last weekend I torn the end off the crank on my snowmachine ...if that helps.

shortbed70 · 02-27-2012, 04:51 PM

Old cam and old lifters. Been ran for years now after the head swap now the issue. Im so damn frustrated now that I am really loosing intrest on it! Maybe it will be something simple but I'm not real confident.

Ya my sled thing was simple. PTO in one hand engine in the other.

Maybe your thing will be better.

protrash64 · 02-27-2012, 10:08 PM

That sucks Troy....hope it's not too serious. When you go from pre-86 heads to Vortecs, do you use different pushrods or are they the same?

shortbed70 · 02-27-2012, 10:55 PM

Well guys I'm back on track!!! KISS factor...

Long story short; distributor pad is 1/8" taller than stock,old gasket stuck on distributor (I install new one without checking) and not completely tightening dizzy down.... BOOM got oil to all rockers on both sides... Back in business!!!!

Good to hear you got it straightened out. Isn't it crazy how a little ride makes a few hundred hours of work seem less work like!!!!

What did you come up with for paint scream? I know know you were kicking around a few ideas...

We just got a foot of snow yesterday, taking mine out is a month or two away.

Well it's going to stay satin black for a while. Gonna drive it and get the kinks out of it then maybe paint next winter if I'm still employed! The drive was absolutely worth all the work and it takes something like that to really relight the flame to work on it..

I bet... nothing like a 5 minute ride to recharge you for 200 more hours of working eh?

Congrats on the drive!!
I am still a few months from that on mine.

Alan's Classic · 03-25-2012, 01:08 AM

Lookin' good Troy, your making some good progress.

Ok that made me laugh.
I just pictured your poor truck falling apart as you drove it, scattered parts and bolts bouncing down the road behind you.....

Too funny.

chad64chevy · 03-26-2012, 04:43 PM
