86 k5 build thread (update) flex shots

[buffblazer]

finally got back to colorado and had time to snap pics before i hit the road again. just need to do some fine tuning and she is gonna run like a champ.

350 bored .60, 4 bolt main, flat top pistons, comp cams 4x4 camshaft, hyrdo lifers, stock heads, edlebrock peformer intake and 600cfm carb, flotech headers running through true duals and flowmaster mufflers.

coming soon is a new carb, and throttle bracket and cable, i have a rocker nut that keeps backing off so im gonna order new nuts and rocker arms.

bolted to a sm465 and 208, upgrades are to get a 205.

axles are the stock 10bolts, upgrades are a 60 and a 14bolt coming soon.

i will get more pics soon of the bumper i built and i guess the start to my build thread

Nice looking motor ya got there!

thanks i spent a lot of time trying to make it look good, to bad its just gonna get dirty lol

 

[Dalejrfan]

what kind of coating is that on the hedders?

 

[buffblazer]

its that header paint from autozone, i would not recomend it, i followed the instructions on how to bake it and everything, and when installing the headers i got greasy finger prints on them so i took a rag with a light amount of brake cleaner on it and was gonna rub the prints off and it stripped the paint with the first swipe

the motor only has an hour of run time on it so thats the only reason the paint is still on there,

looks good right now but im predicting it will come off after a couple of runs with the headers nice and toasty

but if it last, i will let ya know.

little more progress

well i got the tires and wheels and the axles

went with a d60 front and a HDd60 rear, 456 gears, with a true track in the front and a detroit in the rear.

tires are bfgoodrich m/t km2's 35/12.5/17 wheels are crager soft 8's with 4 inch backspacing (hopefully they will work i kinda wish i went with 2.5)
