81 SWB blown sbc project

[81shavedtrk]

Haven't posted on here in a long time so here is where i am now. I am currently working on my 81 gmc swb that I have had for 6 years now. Last year I hit my goal of 11's on stock suspension (11.98 @112mph) and decided that its time to build the truck how I want. I parted out the engine and am starting from scratch. Tore down in January and hopefully it will be driving by August.

Specs of new setup:
383 cid with afr 227 comp heads, .650 mechanical roller camshaft, enderle bug catcher mechanical injection hat, 6-71 blower, and little magneto. I am retaining stock suspension with the hope of running mid 10's then I will change that

Here is how it sat before tear down


Here is how it sits now



The rest of the suspension parts are drying now and I should have it back to rolling chassis by the end of the weekend. Firewall is getting shaved and 90 degree mount master cylinder will be inside the cab. Can't wait to get it on the road.
