So I introduced myself in the Newbie Check In, but my name is Neil.
I have a 91 reg. cab short box that I bought for $400. The box is rough but the truck overall is in good condition.
The plan as of now is to pull the low horse 5.2 out and replace it with a 67 318 that I tore apart today. It will be getting check at the machine shop and cleaned, along with the heads being ground 10 thou and the crank being checked. After that it will be assembled using stock parts and a 340 stock cam. Why go with an old block you say? Because 1. It has a wiring issue I don't want to deal with and 2. It was free.
The rest of the truck will get a virtual frame off restore since the underneath is rusty from sitting for 3 years, but that will have to wait until I get money together for all that.
The start will be getting a motor built to around 300-350hp. The truck honestly won't need much more than that for now, all it will do is spin the tires anyway.
