Look What I Did This Weekend - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**BAD4X4** · 11-23-2004, 12:20 AM

Out with the mouse...in with the rat! All this in one weekend, maybe if I would quit working this hard on this truck I could get my other truck done! I guess the one that gets me back and forth to work is more important right now.

djracer · 11-23-2004, 12:21 AM

looking good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**too much stuff** · 11-23-2004, 12:26 AM

Looks like some good attention to detail!!!

glock35ipsc · 11-23-2004, 12:26 AM

Sweet! Looks great sitting in there!

*Randy70C-10* · 11-23-2004, 12:26 AM

Very nice!!

**PICKMUP** · 11-23-2004, 02:50 AM

That really looks nice. Could you come up and do a couple of mine?

*dtlilly* · 11-23-2004, 03:27 AM

Oh yeah, more power!

arkracing · 11-23-2004, 08:54 AM

Looks great...
I see another "glass" in-line fuel filter though....might want to change that before it breaks and you don't have a bigblock truck anymore

griesel72 · 11-23-2004, 09:57 AM

very nice

mocwon · 11-23-2004, 10:25 AM

Excellent job. Looks right at home too.

**Yukon Jack** · 11-23-2004, 10:30 AM

Of course I have to ask, given the trouble I had with mine, how is your valve cover clearance? Can you get some pics of the firewall and both valve covers. Did you leave it in the stock location or move the engine forward?

A.P. · 11-23-2004, 10:38 AM

Looking great.

**N2TRUX** · 11-23-2004, 11:29 AM

You been busy. That looks soooo much better....

superchevy · 11-23-2004, 12:12 PM

Joe67 · 11-23-2004, 01:24 PM

Nice work

ChevyDude · 11-23-2004, 02:22 PM

Congrats...it looks great!!!

68w/sbc406 · 11-23-2004, 04:59 PM

you should drive it to portland and show it off, if you can afford the gas

longnlow72 · 11-23-2004, 07:13 PM

looks good, i plan on doing those gauges too, with blue or black letters

Wootdog · 11-23-2004, 07:34 PM

That really looks good. Make us all get motivated. Kerry

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-23-2004, 08:33 PM

Nicely done look's great......

Sweet72 · 11-23-2004, 09:05 PM

Looks great, what are the details on the Rat, oh, now I see in your sig., 500hp 454.

**BAD4X4** · 11-24-2004, 12:30 AM

Thanx everyone. I'm still trying to work out the bugs. The motor is a little bigger than stock with hooker headers 3" exhaust, afb 750, RPM air gap, and of course a HEI. The engine fits good, tight against fire wall, didn't have to dent fire wall, have 67 vette valve covers and custom built cross member, also 2wd PS set up, and big block fan shroud.

**Yukon Jack** · 11-24-2004, 10:39 AM

Did you leave the engine in the same engine position? I didn't move mine forward as I didn't want to have to deal with modifying the driveshafts at the time.

**BAD4X4** · 11-24-2004, 09:17 PM

I left it in the stock small block spot. I also did the same with my "70'' swb 4x4 4-spd truck.
