Re: My new project 86 Silverado

YAAAAAY...
well today marks the 3rd year of my rebuild... it's on the downslope now i hope LOL

i'm happy that all the build work so far on my truck was out in the front yard, and only a handful of tools... no special stuff, no welder etc. a true shade tree mechanic build

hope to be finished enough in a couple of months to drive it... final paint will be a while anyway...

updates soon...

Re: My new project 86 Silverado

thought i'd share some pics of my high horsepower Olds 455 engine build, this is not the engine i just put in the truck, that is built with stock parts(rods/pistons etc.)...

new Olds 455 short block specs:
Block bored .025 over for Pontiac Icon pistons
Scat 7.00" H Beam rods
"N" crank
Balanced
ARP main studs
Align honed
Square decked
Bored and honed
Block dressed and relieved
Federal Mogul Race Main bearings
Clevite rod bearings
Durabond Cam bearings
Mahle Moly Top ring set - file fit.
Cloyes Billet timing set.

Cam - 232/236@.050 on a 110. I'll put it in at 106... will have gobs of torque and some tone. Lift is .568 on both INT/EXH

more pics as i get them from the builder

Torque converter was bad, and trans was slipping clutch material in fluid, was gonna have it souped up anyways. Sounds like that motor is going to be fun!

Re: My new project 86 Silverado

Awesome build so far! Keep up the progress. Just my 2 cents on the paint. I saw that someone told you to paint over 300 grit. In my experience in collision work and custom paint work, you can paint solid colors over 320 w/ no problems but can sometimes show sand swirls w/ metallics. We've always done final sanding w/ 400 grit or higher and metallics always lay in smooth. Can't wait to see this beast complete.

Also, thank you for your service sir.

thanks for the info, i started with 40 grit--->100 then epoxy primed, and sanded that with 300, then sprayed 2k primer... will sand down to 600 before i put any color on it..., maybe even finer...

it was a privilege to serve...

kind regards
