Got the front clip and drivetrain removed with the help of my Dad and Uncle Tim.
Installed the ORD engine mounts and cross member along with an ORD steering brace
Came to a stopping point on the body and frame. Decided to put the ORD Doubler Kit together.
Finally finished stripping the body tub and got it off the frame.
I was able to get the PSC steering box installed and got the front of the frame steam cleaned and painted.
Finally got my Blueprint Engine 355 which dynoed out at 427hp. I installed the GMPP Serpentine belt kit on it along with FITECH fuel injection. Coming along...
First TIG weld ever. I know it's not pretty but it'll do till I get better...
I was able to install the ORD Custom 3"springs on the front and get my axle put together. As you can also see I got the rest of the frame painted.
Yep...But the K5 (my wife calls her my new girlfriend "Cheyenne") is going together bit by bit. Gonna start working on exhaust next...So you been hoarding parts and holding out on us?
Looking good so far
Looks like a great start and good progress!
Just realized my 700R4 is not a K series transmission. Is this a big deal or can I live with it???
I believe that you will be ok with it, unless you use the truck too hard. I know that there have been a fair number of trucks that had a 2wd case put in them before. I know that it would be preferable to have a K case since the bellhousing is supposed to be thicker as well as having the flange for the heavier cover. But I believe that it's your call whether or not to use it or spend the time and money to get a K case.
Anybody in the Nashville area? I am looking at a body tub and would love to get some eyes on it before I plunk down some cash???
