It has been 2 years, but now it’s running *Thanks to everyone!*
Two years ago I was going to change my timing chain…..then it snowballed into a complete rebuild.
![]() I’m giving everyone a big thanks for all the help along the way. ![]() And a few pictures too. s/t Does it look stock? ![]() ![]() ![]() everything that unbolts is powder coated or painted. (even the fuel line. ![]() ![]() ![]() Factory looking q-jet and all the brackets. ![]()

Where did you get that q jet?
Oh btw, looks killer, lets see some pics of it with the air cleaner on and hear some audio clips.

Thanks! Quote:
I only have the stock air cleaner, finding one that isn't chrome is almost as hard as finding a not chrome timing cover! Audio clips to follow soon! Quote:
Runs great had a little issue with it not wanting to idle, turned out to be a vacuum leak. s/t

Re: It has been 2 years, but now it’s running *Thanks to everyone!*
I forgot to post a picture of my engine mounted oil pressure gauge.
The tech guys at Auto Meter said even their oil filled gauges don’t last too well on the engine. So I opted for this location with a new SW gauge a neighbor gave me. I bought the gauge pot at the local shop. ![]() Whatever paint they use at the radiator shop is tacky when warm, that's paper towel that stuck near the cap! ![]() ![]() Headlight relays from M&H. ![]() Old school air cleaner. Now does it look stock? ![]() ![]()

Just currious, in one of your pics it looks like the plug wires are not connected to plugs? I'm lookin because I am fiddlin with the repro plug heat shields that don't seem right for me.

I know you`ve been around the world with this engine.I knew it would be one fine one when you got it done.so,I`m not surprised at all...sorry.
![]() When you had a question,you asked it.When you had doubts,you asked before moving on.This thing was goin`nowhere near the wrong path if you had anything to do with it.All the info`s out there if you ask...I do. Man,that is sweet!!!! I can`t wait to take a ride in one of my favorite trucks.I`m jealous.But,congratulations anyway. ![]()

Nice and clean. I love it. Are you accepting charity cases?
