Engine build progress - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi all , a few months ago I decided to take the leap and build a new motor for the truck,
We'll it's going to be a 350 that is machined .060 over, and all the goodies that go with it, flat top pistons, steel Callies magnum crank, hyd. comp cam, with aluminum hydraulic rocker arms, GM bowtie head, airgap aluminum intake, Holley 650 double pumper, with mechanical secondaries, and the list goes on.
I finally got the bottom end all together, now just waiting on my heads to get finished.
Once I have this motor together , then I will pull the other one out as that I need the external parts for the new one, some will get reused some will get replaced.

Actually ordered from a company called RPC performance but they are available from different companies. I like the old school look.
