Give 'er a good power wash and degreaser bath and paint it!

 

Thats what i plan on doing but i will more than likely pull it apart and make sure everything is good before it goes in the truck.

 

Pulled the grill, lights, inner fenders, battery, rad. overflow, and battery tray today. I didn't work real long didn't want to do any more because i didn't have the engine lift and didn't want it to get rained or snowed on to make it a big PITA to work on tomorrow.
I just went and picked up the engine lift so tomorrow i plan on pulling the motor and trans.

 

Today i pulled the fenders, core support, and rad.
The unplugged all the wires and unbolted the motor and pulled it.
Took the trans off and took it to my buddy so i could get the one i needed for the np205 but i kept my clutch since its only a few months old.

 

Cool stuff! How much power do you think that engine puts out? Is it built up at all?

 

I honestly couldnt tell you. I dont know all the specs but i do know it has:
Edelbrock performer intake
crane energizer cam
holley 650 carb.
I dont know if there is anything else or not i know it runs surprisingly well for just being a mild 350, but i havent decided weather to do some more work to this or try and find something different. I would really love to pick up a big block cheap and build it instead, but i might just built this one up i might even just run it as is for a while.

 

Or turn it into a 383 stroker!

 

Na if i was going to do that i would just build a big block and run this as is till the BB is done. Im sure sooner or later this thing is going to end up getting a big block but i think if i get it all back together and run it with this motor for a while i can start building a BB to put in it.

 

Haven't been able to get much done lately its been snowing and raining and cant make up its mind on what it wants to do. Only thing i got done today was pulling the glass out of the new truck then it started raining, i figure since the glass is good i might as well keep it.

 

So it wasnt raining today and the ground was froze up for a little bit figured i would pull the cab off.
The frame is a little nicer than i even first thought the only problem though is the rear crossmember that the cab mounts too the one side is rotted enough that it didnt do anything but im looking for a good one now.
