`69 Chevy pickup :

[DonMan]

It`s just a basic 350-4 bolt main block, bored .060" with flat top pistons. The crank is turned .010" / .010". I`m running a Pete Jackson gear drive, just for the cool whine. The cam is a .488" lift / 234* duration. The heads are stock 441 castings. The intake is an Edelbrock Performer. I`m running headers and Flowmasters.

I always wanted a PJ gear drive. That lil mouse motor ought to sound pretty dern good.

The only whine mine has is from the flex fan.....

That lil mouse motor ought to sound pretty dern good.

I`ve used this cam-specs in other small blocks. It has a nice rumble. With headers and 2 1/2" exhaust with Flowmasters dumping at the rear axle, it should wake the neighbors.

just a little advice with that bed ether put about a 1/4 inch of rubber undercoat in rear wheelwells or get the roll water and ice shield roofers call bitchathane and line them. otherwise the tires will launch rocks out and hit from underneath and pop paint or primer off the outside. this happened to my 90 gmc and took me a while to figure out what the chip was caused from
bed looks made for it keep up the good work

Update :

I got the alternator, water pump and pulleys, etc ... on the engine.

I bolted the trans to the engine and set it all in the truck today.

I put the front sheet metal on tonight. Also got the headers on, but forgot to take a pic. Hopefully, I`ll have time to paint it sometime soon.

 

[DonMan]

Today I installed the grill shell and grill insert and also got the front roll pan installed, it`s fiberglass.
The grill shell was a little dinged up, so I decided to use body filler to straighten it up, then I shot it with self-etch primer, then covered it all in low-gloss black. The whole truck will be low-gloss black.

Here`s a pic of the engine with the ceramic-coat headers installed :
