I fired it up tonight and it sounds great. Took it out for a spin and the tranny shifts perfect, clutch works perfect and has a lot more power for sure.

**Advanced Design** · 05-09-2018, 10:26 PM

Excellent! Always a fun time!

**Getter-Done** · 05-09-2018, 11:30 PM

You have done an Awesome job on this upgrade to your Truck.
I know you are going too enjoy those extra gears.
Hard work does pay off.
You have a top notch truck.

Looks like a new truck man. Time to have a cold one. Congratulations indeed.

Metaldoc · 05-12-2018, 04:21 PM

I bolted down the bed box I picked up for free.

I took my old 2bbl air cleaner and made it fit the 4bbl. I needed to raise it up so I had to make a spacer ring that I made fit to an old 4bbl 6 1/2 " cleaner. I drilled out all the holes in the base to allow more air but I may need more. I'm trying to find another 2bbl cleaner to add a second snorkel from it but no luck yet. Added a custom tequila cap, screw down for the breather. I might add that it was dam good tequila too.

**Canuckvetter** · 05-12-2018, 09:53 PM

If you just need the snorkel I can bring one when I come next week. I have an extra 67 breather that I can remove the snorkel.

Great progress on your motor.

Metaldoc · 07-19-2018, 10:32 PM

Thanks, I noticed after scrubbing the oil pan, the pump screen was touching the pan. This may have been when it was dropped but not sure. I know the pickup tube was not very tight. That was a complete new pump and the new high pressure pump didn't come with the pickup screen. I had to change it over from the other pump. If you buy crap you get crap so my fault. It's set now perfect height by measuring.

Can someone explain how a cam shaft can cause cancer and or reproductive harm. Now I can see a heart attack from the speed you go after from HP increase and I can see it giving you a hard on that lasts more than 4 hrs when you hear it run. But not the other two warnings.

Anything containing ".ca.gov" is bound to be a little over the top. Lived there for 46 years and glad to be gone!

My guess is that you have to warn the morons that think the lube on the new cam should be licked off before installation.

Got the firewall all fixed and paint blended back in. I have a little buffing to do but not too bad. I ran out of masking paper.

RDrancher · 08-19-2018, 09:50 AM

Good to see you back at it! How are things going with the headaches?

Thanks It's a tough road but I'm always positive. Just this week I've had over 30 Cluster headaches with each lasting about 1 1/2 hrs. Some real crappy days. Now the engines in, with help this time, I can get all the little stuff hooking it up done. I can't wait to drive it again, it is my cure for bad days.
Thanks Derek.

Metaldoc · 08-20-2018, 05:54 PM

I'm really liking the new second snorkel look, and I got lots done today.

**Canuckvetter** · 08-20-2018, 06:07 PM

That duel snorkel does look great! Got my motor going in Wednesday. Missed most of the driving season too. So looking forward to putting on some miles.

Right on time to beat them up on the road.

Man I love checking on your thead. This truck is AWESOME. I show everyone I know pics I've saved of your build (and it's a lot!) Much respect, man. Great job.

Thanks man, it does take a lot of dedication to build anything and for me it takes a bit more because of the headaches every day. But I try dam hard to put thought into every piece. I'm trying to figure out how to make a build video, I guess that's what kids are for.

Metaldoc · 09-12-2018, 02:00 PM

I put about 200 miles on it today and I'm quite happy, happy, happy. Engine's running great and with the 5 speed, it's a new truck.

Chevys4life · 09-12-2018, 04:06 PM

It sounds like a fun machine now!!!

Metaldoc · 09-16-2018, 05:19 PM

Took it out to a car show in Paris Ont. today and the A/C was nice. Beautiful day and hot. My wife and I are married 23 years today and she still goes to the shows with me. She gets roses and I'm getting garbage rolls for dinner. Old people life.

Orange67 · 09-16-2018, 07:10 PM

Congratulations on 23 years, bud. My wife and I have 22 last July. It isnt common these days.

Your truck is an inspiration to me. Keep it up. Love your ideas and innovation.

Chevys4life · 12-28-2018, 12:58 AM

I know it's going to look good when you finish.
