1956 Chevy that I have had since High School. A '71 Camaro front clip was grafted to the frame way back then. It's had a few motors through the decades but it has never been in running condition...until now.
It does have the 6BT/47RE out of my '99 Dodge. It is a STORM block, common rail head, P7100 concoction. Head has a little bit of work, 215 pump has been benched and modified and re-modified. Currently running some 8x.009 VCO injectors which I hope are enough for the S366 as I can't even hope to afford new ones right now. It is non-intercooled as well, for now. With twins it made 800 HP at 90+psi, so I have no idea what it will do now, but I would guess 550 or so. And it scoots!!
The transmission is a full billet Goerend with his torque converter and manual valve body. I made a shifter for it recently...the last thing before I called it "built." LOL
I have to thank Jeff Mumau for getting the motor back together a few years ago and it has been amazing!!!
Next I must thank Chris Snyder for doing the heavy lifting in getting the engine and transmission in this truck as I simply don't have the space or tools to do so.
After getting it home I "painted" it...DA sander with 120 grit then 320 grit before applying Rustoleums Rust Restorer which goes on like a black primer. I left a few areas in the original white and did the hood spears to sort of match, just happen to have some vanilla paint at the house. LOL I also put the stock bench seat from my Chevelle in it...both me and the wife find it much more comfortable and it didn't need upholstery like the truck seat did.
There is a laundry list of things to be done. It may have been around the block recently, however, she is not ready for prom just yet.
