He did save the crank. It came out nice. I will probably just resell it, Or save it for another build. Its 10/10 now, I'm going to just pick up a new Scat crank. Bored the block .041. He decked the block, Just to make sure it was leveled. He didn't Zero deck it. Hot tanked and acid...

Yeah, my cam is like .540.... I will more than likely be running a set of Aluminum pro comp heads, that have been worked over really hard...With 230cc runners 64cc chambers,Loaded good.... But really looking for a set of Iron Dart heads or something. Seems a bit pricey. If i run Iron heads i...

Finally! Called today, and said its done. 416 dollars?? He quoted me 460,So i guess i got a deal maybe. I think my last block i had done was much more than that. He bored it another .010 making it a .040 over... What they call a 408 Decked it, He didn't get into what he decked but talking to...

Holy crap! That thing is a peach!! I've had 4 K5's and a Fully size Jimmy... Loved everyone of them. And sold them all. Like an idiot. I'm not selling anymore lol... I'm going to latch onto every one i can pick up cheap. And chevy trucks. They are all getting pretty hard to come by around here...

I dunno, He was backed up when i dropped it off. I told him to take his time, I got along road of body work,lol...

Still in the machine shop :( lol

Go all that cut out :/ Rocker in.... Aslo the patch in the floor is finished... The passenger side is finished, exspect one small hole, And a little shaping on the bottom body lip beside the rocker. Next big endeaver will be pulling the body off to finish the bottom of the body and paint...

Picked up new shocks for all 4 cornors,brakes and brake lines for front and rear. Also got spring kits for the rear drums. Got a new dsitrib with cap and coil. High performance 60k volts. And 9.5mm wires... Cut to fit wires. Also picked up a bunch of stuff to do the body work and paint...

I don't think so, I've never seen or heard of boat sides intill a few weeks ago, Like 2 days after i ordered all new rockers and other metal :/ Boatsides do seem like a better idea though. Oh yeah, Blazers and suburbans get it the worst here, because of the unibody deal. This is my 5th...

Waiting for more metal to come in before i weld that on..lol Have all new metal for the blazer, besides the inner fenderwell, on that one side.

Used to mud race this Blazer a few years back. Now i've decided to get back in the sport. But i'm going to be going through the whole blazer front to back. Probably will be a slow build. And havn't nailed down some things but here are the pictures i've got so far. Hahaha, Some of my...

I'm open to suggestions. I'm sure there are some that know more about this stuff than me.

Going to be using .200 dome Speed pro pistons. (Like 13.4:1 compression at stock deck height with 64cc Comb chambers, Scat 5.7 Hbeams, Scat 9000 crank..... Heads, I'm stuck between with bumping into another class and running some pro comp aluminum heads. 2.05/1.60 210 runners Or going for...

Hit a snag at the machine shop, Guess we're going to .040 over... Hes also going to deck it.

Ok, Thats good. The block has never been decked or anything. Waiting on the block from the machineshop before i actually order pistons. I'm pretty sure it will clean up without boring it again. Yeah, I run Sunoco 110... About the only stuff i can get around here. And its fairly cheap if you...

I don't know alot about heads and high compression pistons. But i will be running a .200 dome... Will that be ok to run on 64cc heads? I'm thinking about biting the bullet and going for a set of pro comp aluminum heads. They are 205cc runners and 64cc combustion chamber. That would get my...

Have a set of new pistons for a 400SBC ..030 oversize. For use with 5.565 (Stock) rods. Flat tops with 4 valve reliefs, Asking 200 TYD... Wrist pins also included. :chipper:

Yeah, I have a B&M trans, With the upgraded baskets and shafts. Its a TH350. It has 12bolts now, Probably going to need some work. The previous engine was a 468, and used up the life in the drive shafts and axle's .... I will be going through the axles too.

ok, Thanks.

H beam rods.... Not I beam... Had a brain fart there, i guess.

Thanks... I think i will go that route. Did you drill for steam ports? Do you use the 400 gaskets?

I think i might go the Vortec route.. Are there any vortec heads i should stay away from? You have done spoke up... Your going to have to deal with me till the end! :uhoh:

How was the cooling on that 408? I've never used a vortec head. And i think the heads are going to be my biggest downfall. Unless i can come up with something. I've used the center bolt heads. (I even think i have a set of center bolts laying around) ...

I forgot to say, Its going back to the machine shop tomorrow. :lol:

Well many moons ago(08), i sent my 400 block to get bored and crank polished. While waiting, I got pretty sick and ended up in the hospital. I had a buddy pick the motor up, He started to put the bottom end together, When he found the rods were roached...So i just had him put it in storage.When...
