well, it's official - i'm pulling the Goodwrench 350 out of my old 86 Chevy K30 to go into my '84... the rest of the truck is destined for GA to become basically a monster truck - including 2.5 ton Rockwells and a 454, so my brother's friend told me i was doing him a favor...! SCORE...! gunna pull it sometime soon, most likely this week...

on a nice note, i got most of the 305 apart and ready to scrap, and i cleaned up the valve covers and new intake manifold (oh yeah!)... getting pretty excited...

yes, that's the venturi vent and new louvers under the valve covers...

all those bed frames i pulled out of a dumpster behnd 'big lots' (a close-out store) and i'm going to use them to frame my seats for the new interior... i've decided exactly what i want to do, and i may just build it without posting some teasing pics,or maybe just the drawings and planning i have going on... not totally sure yet...

i also got some new seats for it because the blue ones in Rosalyn are spoken for by someone else... i put those in Rosalyn today (yeah yeah, without pics!) and they're comfortable...!

The deluxe marker lights are a nice touch. There is a lengthy thread about them going on in the van sightings section.
Great color choice on the intake and valve covers! chevy

thanks man, i'm glad i finally picked up the set of them... i'll get the rest on eventually...

i haven't been able to pull the motor out of the '84 yet, so in my lunch/slow/after work time i cut down a bunch of the bed frames, and i made 1 seat so far...

it's 42" X 21" X 15" and it'll go right behind the driver's seat...

also last night (no pic yet) i picked up a wooden headboard that's got shelving and stuff on it, just need to cut it down a little bit to make it work, and it will be the 'seat back' for the above bench... i think it's really cool...

me too, the price was great... FREE...! LOL

what i need to figure out next is how to keep a seat back up that's hinged... hmm...

(seat back will be hinged to stay up,but fold down to make the bed)...
