They are local but not a junkyard.
Hmm, the mystery thickens. What is Tilden?
They started with a different name but they were one of the few that started LS swapping everything and they now offer all kinds of kits as well as full service installation
Tilden Motorsports, ORD used them for cam packages.
They joined ck5 and norcalbigdawgs about 15 years ago.
Kevin the owner if he still is also had other members working with him but some years later split up.
They are in the bay area.
I remember Kevin with Pacific Fab. Did that become Tilden?
Yep
Pacific Fab is still around, they just do different stuff. At least that was my understanding.
Same people or they split?
I thought it was the same people under the same roof. Tilden sells the engines packages and does tuning, Pacific Fab does the fabrication and installs the engine packages.
Ok, I have not talked to kevin or Ryan Burke in so many years.
I think Ryan left and went on his own.
I forget the other names, my life had a lot of downs and ups and it got in the way of my friends and me.
Cleaning, blasting, painting, assemble and repeat.
Nice!
When did you pick up the BB? I missed that part of the story.

He got it from Tilden and it cost him less than what he made selling the 350 TH350 combo originally in the truck.
Cool enough he could afford orange paint and a few other things!
Valve covers are painted and sanded for that OE look
And I bought some Chinese headers from the same eBay seller I bought from previously for the sbc. Passenger fit pretty damn good but the driver is a no go.
I gambled and lost $100 so I’ll need to find some other headers.

How much room do you need to make that side fit?
Can’t bend the frame a bit or shave and plate? Or no way your modding the frame?
