and good move getting rid of the bolt bosses. Any chance you're gonna put lump ports in while you have it out? That'd really wake 'er up, especially with a turbo.

can't wait to see this get together and back on the streets, it's awesome for a pretty basic 6 truck to get back on the road.

Thanks Sam, If I can find a set I'll go ahead and install those but they haven't turned up on ebay recently. Does anyone know where to buy those from?

Thank you sir, hopefully both of our stepsides will be on the road again soon!

[hotrod 80]

Pick'in mine up monday finished or not .

[samwise68]

yup. I do know where, haha.

check out www.t6racing.org

His name is Larry Paige (i think i got the spelling right), he goes by twisted6 on inliners.org

He does alot of head work, and is a supplier for lump ports. i think around 130 for everything to do it?

He's a real stand up guy, hopefully you can get a hold of him.

How about you come down to Missouri and paint my truck torquise and off white?

Would love to come down there to help. You gotta pay for the plane ticket though, motel room, room service... beer.... spending cash... rental car...

When is the projected paint date?

I think my friend is supposed to come help me paint it this weekend but it may be next weekend. I'll have to call him today and check.

What were the specific parts you got/are gonna get for the I-6? I might get one and do all that, to keep the I-6, but get better power like you're doing.

[kyull67]

I'm having the block and heads completely redone with new pistons, larger cam, valve job, head bolt bosses removed from the intake, Offenhauser intake with a Holley 390 cfm four barrel carb, clifford split headers, and a HEI ignition. After my bank account recovers from this build, I'll add a turbo and an intercooler also. Most likely that will be my winter project though.

[thirdstreettito]

Where ya getting the turbo and intercooler from? Btw, if you dont mind me asking, how much will all the engine parts cost? PM me if you want.

[Bugsy_malonn]

I like the work on the dash I might use that someday

I agree. I was gonna patch my dash back up and put a CD player in the glove box but now that I've seen what you've done I might try that myself. Great idea.

I'm not sure on the source for the turbo setup yet, I know I can get the turbo manifold from a guy on inliners.org(Tlowe is his boardname) for $450.
The other parts for the complete rebuild were about $500 and $1400 all together for the machine work, parts, and assembly. EDIT: Offenhauser intake with Holley 390 cfm carb $450, Clifford split headers $125, HEI distributor $40, So for the complete motor just over $2000. Basically alot of money!

Thanks, I really like how it turned out for me.

Thanks, It really wasn't too hard, if I did it again I could probably finish it in about two hours. All you need is a radio delete plate, CD player and bracket, sheet metal, and of course all the tools. If you decide to do it and need any help just pm me for more details.

[kyull67]

Quasi update: We got the truck sealed and primed this morning and it turned out alot better than I ever thought it would. I'll do a little more body work, block it, and then hopefully paint and clear it this next weekend. Our shedules are a little tight so we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Sorry no pics, I loaned out the camera!

[bobbo]

I can come over and take some pics. I wanna see it!

[kyull67]

Anytime Bobbo! You know the number.

[Richard8971]

[kyull67]

Thanks Don! You've helped me out alot so far. Right now I'm actually waiting for the engine compartment to dry so I can clear it. I painted a few small parts to see how they matched with 2 coats of clear and the color looks real good! Sorry no pics again. Maybe later.

Good idea double checking the color for a good match as you are painting.

Now that you are painting (and doing smart things) I dub you...

"Wladimir Skrullinsky" - Master of the spray.

Do you like it?

Sounds good, we'll have to see how well I live up to my new name. What do you think so far?
The tailgate in the last two pictures is the one that came with the bed and matches the rest of it. The piece beside it is the fan shroud that I just painted. They match quite well I think!

[bobbo]

That looks great! Will see ya this evening!

In the words of Darth Vader "The Force is strong with this one..." Now I must get you to come over to the dark side and get you to complete the task of finishing your truck.

Looks awesome!
