Lucky dog, mine needs everything but a seat. Well the seat needs a different color. How did we both end up in GMT-400 trucks? Its almost turning into a build off, both trucks are kinda clapped out.- Irishman999

not impressed so far.....
Electric drill with a hole saw on it...... I wonder if that would work. Not technically hacking anything up, just doing modifications that should have been designed in the fender in the first place.- Irishman999

Irish's pickup from hell, the 454SS.
Update on the truck: I decided to drop the engine in before its finished because I need motivation to finish it. All I lack is pushrods and that is turning out to be such a pain in the ass, I have already ordered two wrong sized pushrod checkers trying to be cheap and am now learning I need...- Irishman999

I will be getting better heads in the future, when the rest of the truck is in better shape. I was looking at some Brodix cast iron heads with barts valves, at that point roller rockers and fabricated aluminum valve covers will make more sense.- Irishman999
