Well it is offical, I have begun the rebuid instead of the tear down. This weekend my buddy Jason from Indiana (same Jason that helped pull the engine) came up and helped me get started painting the frame. We would have gotten more done except I was on call for work and ended up in Detroit most of the day. The engine will be ready to pick up on the 16th of march. I will be happy to have a fresh engine for a change instead of old worn out ones.
I lucked out in that nothing major was wrong with my EFI motor except that it had a large ridge in the cylinders. So it had to be bored out, but we got a rebuild kit with new everything and had the crank ground. It will be cool. SO BE LOOKING FOR THE PICS SOON WITHIN THE WEEK.
My radius arms shipped out the 12th and should be here the 16th or the next week. I am still waiting on my axle pivot bushings and a distributor for my engine. I have painted the differential and have the springs and axle mounted back up to the frame and there are actually wheels on the truck again.
It is coming together slowly buth a little faster than before so check back frequently the fun has just begun. |
