Re: Surf Blue
The motor swap is completely finished, it runs and drive perfect! One push of the skinny pedal and it will kill both 315's out back, it's exactly what I was going for. I posted a few completed pics and I tried to post a video, if it worked.
Finishing this motor swap has more or less brought me to a spot where I have to say to myself.. "STOP"... This truck has come a long way since I started on it and I think it's good enough to leave it "as is". I'm still planning on doing a few more things to it (Big brakes) but nothing too major it's time to drive it and enjoy it. I think I need to turn my attention elsewhere for a while so this will probably be the last update on it for a while. I'm thinking in the fall I might pick up another 67-72 SWB and head a different direction with it ,Dropmember, LS1, bags, who knows I'll keep you guys posted on what I do. I figure since this was more of a Sport truck/ Muscle truck/ Resto mod, or whatever you want to consider it the next one needs to be different. Whatever I end up doing it will definately be a more challenging /custom build than this truck was.

Re: Surf Blue
So I know I said I was "pretty much done" with this truck, but.... it's just too darn hot here. So a Vintage air system will be on it's way some time in the next month or so, (definately before Sept). I'll have pics as soon as I get it.

Re: Surf Blue
