Ok I'm planning on going through my shop I work at. I have an elebrock 350 with a 4bolt main coming. It's a direct bolt fit for my other stuffalike my exhaust and it wont require any modifications. I liked the motor that was in it anyways so I really dont plan on going performance. I'll dress it up but thats about it.

PNW VietVet.... So I came across some bad news, and got some good news today. I decided to take a closer look at my block since it was stripped. There was a crack between cylinders 4 and 6. (Pics included) so... I ordered a brand new crate long block for her. As i said Never getting rid of it!View attachment 280375View attachment 280374

I’m guessing the good news you got was that you can afford the new long block?:eek:

What's the cost for the engine? Where does it come from?


Edlebrock and Im getting it through Summit, although I cant tell you how much due to how it was discounted through the company I work for.... Lets just say I'm under 17 for it. I can use my own intake instead of a carb so I dont have tonchange my computers. Which makes me really happy because I hate to change anything except the motor. I want to keep this truck as original as I can. I talke to my boss who thought it from, he had the transmission rebuild at around 200,000 so ive got 35 on it now. Putting a new motor in will definatly breathe new life into this girl.

Well, I finally am getting this build under way. I had some serious family issues pop up which put everything on back burner. Now, my new hear is ready to go into my baby....

Before anybody asks, I had to help some family with some serious bills. So I had to go with a used motor for now. My step dad needed the money for some medical expenses, due to a recent diagnosis of cancer. So I gave them all the money for my engine. I scraped up some for a used engine with about 87,000 miles on her. I'll do a new one next year. But my family comes first...

Sorry to hear about your step dad but you are definitely a great dude to help him out with his medical expenses. You have your priorities right. Glad to hear you’re still moving forward, and all the best to you and your family. :console:

Thank you... Rocket Man. I'm just glad to be getting back to work on my truck though. PNW VietVet has helped me in my journey on this truck with diagnosis and stuff but she'll be coming home hopefully by the end of the week
