Nah, I’m into stock stuff on this rig. The buttons need to work and be just like factory. Just a little extra HP, mileage, and gears to make it down the highway.

That 454 is waiting for a rebuild and implant into square body pickup. Maybe then, one project at a time.
Even I could never break one of those! Lord knows I used my toys hard.

You could use one in place of a wrecking ball and still not damage a it. Lol
Make sense for long distance trips. mtmuley
I used to play with 44s on my trucks and one night I managed to tear off an entire front tire with everything still attached but the axle housing! That was a real treat to get out of the mud and hauled to safety.
Glad you included a picture for reference. Could have gotten taken out of context.

My bench looks like a train wreck but there is progress. All the old junk parts have been replaced. Just waiting on the proper shim for the clutch pack. Then it will all be back together. The amount of cleaning it took to get the parts clean was crazy. A week soak in parts cleaner and a day in purple degreaser. Then scrubbed with dawn and hot water to get the last of it.

Good thing I bought that other one. I’ve been swapping some obsolete parts that were needed to replace what was worn on mine.
It can still go back together and be sold, it still has some life left in it before it’s a core.

Nah, I have a Chiltons manual, YouTube, tools, and patience. This whole thing is a learning curve.

Had a nice day out so I hooked the hot water pressure washer up and did the final degreasing. I spent a good 2 hours getting absolutely soaked and filthy. Whatever the coating was on the frame came off with the chemical degreaser I used prior. So the goal was to get it down to metal to recoat it with good spray paint.
