I will be following along with this build RPM is the kit I want to get too.

I'm still in hunter/gathering mode. I will say what I have received from Ron to date is very good quality and you couldn't ask for a more friendly customer relation. I hope to get started soon, right now I'm just kind of dinking around powdercoating small parts and going to be priming some larger parts. For the chassis and suspension parts I will be using Eastwood DTM (direct to metal) epoxy primer and Eastwood rat rod satin black urethane paint. More to come.....?

Still scrounging parts........picked up some bearings & rings. Winters coming soon..................

I'll be following your build. It's fun planning, getting parts, and building.

9" rear housing came today

 

[choppedtop]

Nice to start off with new clean housing that you don't have to grind on.

 

[tfeverfred]

That's just plain hot rod porn. What man doesn't love a nice, smooth rear end.

Awesome......I need a big boy body, eager to see progress

I never posted this, 5.3 LS Engine Block.

 

[choppedtop]

Ahhh, Santa came early!

Gotta love the 6 bolt mains on these motors

 

[JeffK]

Never built one before. I've done fords & chevys(gen1) f4, f16, A10, b52, and f15s though, so I'm sure it will be fun. The 6 bolt mains are unique. It's an iron block but I doubt weight is an issue in a bucket ;-)

Ahhh, Santa came early!

It's good to be Santa lol
