After months I finally got my truck running again. I ended up using some parts from my other project and selling some stuff I didn't want plan on just to finish it but its running. I decided to go roller with the new motor and had huge setbacks with the engine I got but ended up buying a retro roller cam and getting it done. With all the porting and upgrades I made this thing should be a lot of fun, I can't wait to get a few miles on it and maybe a few runs too ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

It's time for the country to do what Obama's own father did.
Abandon him.

Ahhhhh yes, the old phone "a" and "b".....
I'm doing great now and only have one phone. I'll PM you my new number. I want to work all the bugs out then see what that thing will do. I went full roller with a custom ground Comp cam, added fresh ported GT40's, upgraded from a 65mm to 70mm throttle body, installed Bassani equal length headers and an electric fan..... the #8 piston being in tact makes the most power though. I'll also be adding my methanol kit and some more boost after checking the fuel system out.
