i just pulled the cups out and marked an inch all the way around the bottom of the cup and put it in a vice and put a cutting wheel on my grinder and cut it off was pretty easy took less than an hour to do both sides

thanks man the motor thing was a big headache but got a good one this time i went through the whole thing put new bearings, main seals, pro cam, valves, double gear timing chain, heads up gasket kit, pushrods, rebuilt edelbrock, new oilpan with the one piece gasket that was awesome ( I would never use the old ones now)

[aric70chev]

still havent got the ambition to install the notch I am not looking forward to drilling all those holes contemplating taking off the bed not sure what will be easiest. wish I had a plasma I would cut out the frame and could drill the holes with it to oh well I really need to get it done though

[aric70chev]

almost forgot on a good note I took her out to the first little carshow and I got best interior on classic truck (there wasnt many trucks there but I will take it) that was pretty cool the trophies they give out are rolling shot pics they put on poster boards will post a pic when I get mine
