Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Have not got the engine all the way out because I do not have an engine waiting for the transplant. The engine builder told me yesterday that he has located (2) 327's and was going to look at them both then decide which one was best. So maybe he is actually trying! I'll have the engine out this weekend with some pics.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Slick... I know this is a little off subject of the current conversation but I wanted to ask you about the plastic fuel cel you got from summit. How do you like it? What made you go with a plastic cel instead of steel or aluminmunmunmun?

I like it and went with it for several reasons. It is never going to rust for one, and it has a much cleaner look than a Blazer tank. There are a couple of things I would have done differently lookin back, but I am still happy with the outcome. One thing that could have made things a bit easier for the fuel filler neck tube would have been to cut a new hole on the driver back corner of the tank so the filler neck would be shorter, and easier to route (I cut one crossmember on the bed bottom). The original cap could stay in place and use another cap for the new hole. May cost about $30 dollars more, but after all the customizing, $30 would have been cheaper.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Got a little done yesterday, headers, waterpump, radiator, manifold, valvecovers, fuel pump, battery cables, power steering pump, and all of the motor mount bolts are now removed. Still have the oil pressure tube and the tranny bolts and that's it, she'll be out tomorrow.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Thought this was kinda cool. I sent some pics to Mar-K and they put my truck on their website and sent me an email saying it would be a Featured Truck soon. It is close to the bottom on the right side.
Check it out here. http://www.mar-k.com/custs/cvList.aspx

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Thanks David!
Thanks dude! The engine builder told my friend that he had a 327 coming in this week or possibly this weekend for me. He didn't know if the engine was good or not but he is hoping it will be and he will start workin on it for me. Just found out about this an hour ago. Hope it happens.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Talked to the engine builder today and he said go ahead and pull the engine cause he should have my block as soon as tonight. We'll see. I decided to go ahead and get the engine out so I can clean everything up while I am waiting. My oldest brother Mike helped me a little so it made things a little easier.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
I know, I know. Ronnie doesn't stop sanding his 39 coupe if my truck is uncovered, and he blows the shop out with a backpack blower. I don't think he would do that sh*t if his Cutlass was in there.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
I think I spoke to soon on the engine. He has not contacted me nor has he picked up my engine. Guess it's time to make another trip over there to build the fire back up because nothing is going to happen unless I stay on him about it.
