I really dig it. :thumbsup:
Nice lookin truck !

Brandon,
I really like the direction you've gone with this build :thumbsup:

That truck looks killer Brandon. Great pick of color for that truck. Keep up the great work.:thumbsup:

Thanks everyone! It seems to be coming together nicely so far.

There is a bit of a lull in the action this week. We are smack in the middle of planning for next fiscal year at work.....blahhhhh! My wife is back at IU in a training session so that she can teach college credit Chemistry at our local High School - - just a quick plug for my smart wife - ;) Anyway, Nora (my 2y/o daughter) and I are hanging out this week and then the whole family is headed up to Gingerman this weekend for the Motorstate Challenge.

I think Dad is going to try to make some progress on a few of the items this week if he can get caught up at work. If I have to take vacation to get it ready, we'll be at Columbus!!!!

So, many of you know of my bad luck with the engine on the way to Columbus GG. I ended up buying a ZZ4 to replace the 327. I will dig into the 327 at a later date to see what happened..............

The ZZ4 is in the truck and we just need to finish hooking everything up, put the radiator back etc.. A little break-in and hopefully, I will be driving it again soon.

Great to hear!!!!

going to NSRA nats ?

Well................................I don't know if I will be able to pull that on off with the wife. I may try. We have a bunch of stuff to get ready in our house for the arrival of baby #2.

I'd love to make it down even if I don't drive the truck down. If so, I will look you up to say hey. Dad and I talked to your dad briefly at Columbus over by the Nomad. I only got to chat with you for second or two. I just felt like I was in LaLa Land that whole weekend..............

I missed the engine info. The 327 gave up on you? Any ideas what went wrong?
Im sorry that happened, I know you and your dad have been busting your butts getting the truck ready. Beautiful truck by the way!:cheers:

Yeah, I put the details in a separate thread, not sure why. I'll blame it on lack of sleep........

I think it spun a bearing. I made it within 35 miles of Columbus, OH on that Friday before it lost oil pressure while cruising down the interstate. I picked up this ZZ4 for not much more than it would cost to go though the 327 again, depending on what all is wrong with it.

The ZZ4 is new - A guy bought it for a project and never got around to using it. I think it will be a good engine for what I am going to do with the truck. There is a reason that GM has sold so many of them!
