Well guys, here's a quick update. Here are some pics of my baby on it's way to the shop to get it's transplant. The teardown has already begun. With the motor out I decided to go ahead and shave the firewall. Also, if you noticed I have Baers 6-piston, 15" Extreme kit on the front. While I'm at it, I'm going to go ahead and put the same 6-piston, 15" Extreme kit on the rear and put a 9" in place of the 12 bolt. I'll keep ya'll updated as I go along.
Got the rear end out of the car and began shaving the firewall. I will order the 9" next week & the Baer brakes. Also, will begin test fitting the LS motor and T56 Magnum to fab up the tranny tunnel.
Here are a few shots of the engine being test fitted with the T56 Magnum. Fabbing up the tranny tunnel. This is not my new motor. This is an extra LS 6.0 I have that is going to go into my '68 C10 when I get around to working on it. The 408 stroker is still in the crate waiting on me to get it assembled. I'll get around it to getting it over to the machine shop soon to get it assembled.

Hey who's doing your work? I would love to see your car. What part of Dallas are you in?

Jim @ Killer Ridez does my work. He's a great guy and really knows his stuff. I also have '68 C10 swb at his shop that he is working on for me too. I live in the far east part of Mequite. Where are you? Here are a few shots of the C10 he's doing for me. It will have front & rear Corvette suspension, Dana 44 IRS and shockwaves on all for corners with a 6.0 LS & T56 Magnum as well. Build thread will start sometime next year although I'm working on it now little by little. These pics are of the stock crossmember removed and the Corvette crossmember being fabbed & fitted
A small update guys and the little brown delivery truck dropped my Currie 9" rear end off too. My shop guy is just finishing up the fire wall and a little setback on the tranny tunnel. After I posted some pics of the tranny tunnel getting fabbed up, fellow boardmember GregWeld made a good point that I overlooked. I forgot to make a provision to access the tranny shifter. Therefore, the shop had to go back and make a way to access the shifter for future service. Otherwise, I would have had to drop the tranny just to access the shifter. Thanks GregWeld for bringing that to my attention.
