Went to pick up my engine today at the machine shop. Once I was there, the guy that I deal with at the shop talked me into letting him put the short block together. Gave me a hell of a deal to assemble it. So I told him to go ahead. So I left with out my 383. It will be ready either tomorrow or Wednesday. I waited a long time for this. But there is still alot of work to do. I plan on pulling the engine out, and sand blasting the engine compartment, then repainting it before I drop the 383 in it. But I am excited that I am this close to having the 305 out of this truck, and put a power plant in it that it deserves!!!
CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!!!!
