Re: Slow And Low So Goes The Tempo!!!
WoW.... nice picture story..... especially NICE WORK ..... As I have said "over & over" it seems like I am never going to get to the point you're at. What makes things even worse is that I have parts/stuff collected for practically "every part" of our build. I just have to get the "time" (and some more bucks) to get things started.
My back (both upper & lower) and the daily driver ('80 El Camino) I just picked up is causing me lots of "physical" & "wallet" pain.... HA!!! Hopefully before the weather gets bad I'll have the cab & bed off & begin work on the frame..... pictures to follow.....someday!!!

Re: Slow And Low So Goes The Tempo!!!
Lovin the anti-roll and a bump for progress pics . I also went with the Cola crank , but went 3.85 and lentz billets with JE's . I think my crank is set up for 1800 bob weight and pistons and rods ended up like 1755 or something . Yours should have great throttle responce . Once you get it lined out a safe 150 shot wouldn't even hurt that motor . it would take that for decades . Keep us posted .

Re: Slow And Low So Goes The Tempo!!!
I like the build it has some of the same mods done 2 the dash as mine,except that my dash pad is shaved off and the radio is gone. I went the 598 bbc route. I was able to keep the stock frame,as my rear is still in the air. Nice work !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Slow And Low So Goes The Tempo!!!
well guys,
i have set aside the project for a while. the body work needs done and so forth. the thing is is my wife is going to college and it has been very costly and times being tuff i thought it was in our best interest just to let her set. of course i will never sell here. she has been siting as i last worked on her and has not hurt a single thing other then i really want to drive her. so it may be another year before i get to her. i hope. the boy starts college this coming fall. but my wife should be done and i hope our income will be good enough to support one of my habbits.. anyways she the project named amy after my old pit bull will be done someday, just got to have patients.. later andrew K

Re: Slow And Low So Goes The Tempo!!!
I hear ya.
I wrecked my truck back in March, and still haven't found the time to get after it. I have another frame to replace the bent one that has been reapinted and everything. Just need to start swapping parts. Gary
