Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"

Great news on the updates. Can't wait to see the rolling chassis!

I've always wondered how much rust it would take to destroy one of those vented rotors. My Suburban has the same style. I replaced the rear rotors last month because the ribs in between the plates were so rusted. Now I'm glad I did! Glad you had a happy ending to your story, though.

Here it is:

224/230 .604”/.604” 113 LSA +3 advance (with 1.7 ratio rockers)
EPS HiRev/HiRev lobes on 8620 steel 3 bolt cam core
EPS24-1/EPS30-1 HR113 LSA +3 advance (110 installed intake centerline

Nothing to wild but it should be enough

Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"

I stopped by the paint shop this evening and Steve the painter is laying down some extremely nice paint! He's got the inside of the cab, front fenders, hood, core support, front inner fenders, doors and cowl painted. It's coming right along, I can't wait to get it all back and start on the assembly of everything. He's leaving for vacation tomorrow though so it's all going on hold for a week, which will give me time to play catch up on my end.
