A small one :thumrigh: but here is what's going on today :happy8:
I went out between thunder storms and rain and pulled the intake to take a peek 8-[ I called Small Block and he has a 1970 fresh build with low milage ready to go that was pulled from a Barracuda to install a 340:thumrigh:
Creed talked me out of my shaved ported pumped up 360 I have turned 8.75 1/8 mile in my old drag racing truck :binky: :eye:
Next move it to have Creed bring me his exhaust pipe rolling cutter and get this 318 out and covered up to be built anther day :glasses2:.

As you can see it has been a long time for me to have something other then Victoria to drive and this needs to be dun so I can shut her down and remove the little head and prep for paint under her bonnet and put my new big valve slightly shaved head on I have setting under my bed :toothy8:
 
Moving forward this morning as I look outside at Creed :occasion:

Mike! Add a 5,7 hemi in it like a stock application. Then you will have one hell of a driver. Jeeez, I miss my Ramcharger. I had a 91 red/white with redd interior. I should have made a project like yours too. Good luck with it.
 
The heat :sad: 100 with a heat advisory today Pete, Cliff, 65dartcharger, Doc, and Snake
With the heat index 120, Dang man the yard looks superb :hello2::hello2: Brownie points for sure :blob: Creed and I took here out for a maiden voyage and all is good :wav: Trans sifted perfect and rides great.
Creed is beet down tired and jumped on his bike to get home and enjoy a well need shower :pirat: Thank you son :bounce: You did great and get some well deserved rest, I am :sleepy3::sleepy3:

Me, Well I am beet, The heat was killer out there today and yesterday
I kept the cold ice tea coming and handing tools to make the job easier on him.
I did sneak under and remove the starter remove a few things but that was about it.
Another pair of engines together son :hello2:Thank you sooooo much.

Good going memike
Thank you Cliff, Creed dedicated his hole strong end to this and I bet I drank 20 glasses of water to his 10 glasses of sweet tea :pirat:
memike don't do no sweet tea, Just a shot of Tequila and a lemon in a big class of ice water.
We are so so,so happy the trans shifted out perfect and is good and quite with no wining and noises from it after a 4 year stored time :blob:
 
Came home tonight after a couple hours of shooting pool and seen that Creed put my old hood on :love4:
Night time pictures of the hood that needs some freshening up and I am thinking it would look great white
We removed the front bumper to get the hoist closer to install the RV 318.

Just a couple pictures to share, but the story and build is at fortrucksonly.com.

Getting closer to having a new daily driver :love4:

The Trans is out and getting a complete rebuild :glasses8:
We are blest to have a 30 year experienced moPar trans builder just 12 miles away and he will do it all with a new 1.800/2.000 stall with a year of guarantee for $500.
The old 3/4 tun truck brought $423 dolors salvage back to use after we pulled all the good a/c system and rv 318 out along with ECU, voltage regulator, blower motor, wiper system, and complete bulk head and wire harness and a few other extra parts
The engine runs great and the trans started slipping in third gear and so it will be dun by Friday.. This is a good step toward having a great daily driver for me and a good investment :colors: I don't do car payments and I want to keep it that way :mrgreen:
Yes the hood will be painted white :colors:
