Bubba's79 · 04-19-2010, 02:58 PM

Driveway Dreams · 04-19-2010, 11:09 PM

SCORE!

That will be fun.

Bubba's79 · 04-20-2010, 02:53 PM

Well the machinist called and looks like it gonna bored .0020 over and run a 3.80 stroke basically putting it at a 390 ci stroker should be pretty crazy in my little pickup comes back on friday

Really excited to drive it hahaha

Bubba's79 · 04-23-2010, 05:39 PM

heres some pics of some project motors (bare blocks) and my new crank. Some other pics also

rolyats · 04-23-2010, 10:36 PM

Bubba's truck looks really good. Keep them pics coming, so we can keep up with any restomods you do!

Bubba's79 · 04-26-2010, 12:03 PM

Here is a couple pics of the pistons im real proud of them and so was the company who i bought them from cuz they were really expensive lol.

And my freshly machined block and all the gaskets to tie it together.

Driveway Dreams · 04-26-2010, 11:53 PM

You know you didn't actually pay for those. I heard they got ordered on the parts dept tab. Just kidding you man. That is all looking good. Get it together and get it in. Tell my sister that she needs to give up 1 meal a day for a month so you can build your motor...oh wait...don't do that!!!

Bubba's79 · 04-29-2010, 06:46 PM

OK so i got her running and im working out the little kinks it runs great and im happy i went with a mild cam cause before 2000rpm she just glides down the road after that it's a wild crazy animal and i havent even went past 4200rpm so excited for the 500 mile mark will post some videos. Paint and drop is next! WHEN I GET MORE MONEY SHE DOESNT KNOW ABOUT!!!!

Bubba's79 · 05-18-2010, 07:01 PM

Alright so the truck runs great, sounds great but looks like sh!t! So im going to paint it a nice silver metallic or a deep blue, kinda stuck on silver.
Still got to get the video's up just haven't had time .

STOCKISH · 05-18-2010, 08:41 PM

Bubba's79 · 05-19-2010, 11:30 AM

Bubba's79 · 01-07-2011, 02:54 PM
