I will be updating this. Don't expect final results for quite some time but hope to use this thread for motivation/incentive to put the work in. Hoping to have the engine/trans out by the weekend and then I'll see if I'm going to strip it in the garage or have it media blasted/stripped by a shop.

AWESOME Will!!!
Glad to see/hear you're going to be working on it! All that talk about it the last couple of weeks must of got you going, huh?!?! (Or, was it Kat bugging you to start up on it? lol) Is Tony going to be helping you with the build?
Good luck and keep us posted buddy!

I'll keep you guys up to date. Hoping I get to pick up the block tomorrow and maybe see about getting the 12 bolt I found for it. This motor/trans should be out by the weekend hopefully. Then gotta start making decisions on whose doing what to the body. If I'm stripping it, I'll get started, if not I'll start looking for someone who can blast it.

Update for today:
Mainly all I did today since engine/trans is about ready to be pulled is I reorganized the garage to make more room. Still have a few things to move around but there is plenty of space now compared to what there was.

Sorry it's still in the bag, I'll pull it out tomorrow for better pics. Picked up the 6.0L iron block machined to be a 408. Took a set of calipers with me and all appears to be good. I'll naturally have it checked out by a machinist to ensure all is ok. HKE did the work so I'll probably take it back there.
