Oh my !!! Can't wait for this one its right up my alley. Just starting a 71 SWB myself but could only dreammm of a Hellephant in it. I have a measily 454 HO for mine lol. I've always hung onto this one as inspiration
But now I get a better one from ground up lol.
Can't wait to watch your progress.

Custom oil pan came in today. It’s a nice bit of work. I also ordered brakes. I went with Little Shop MFG and their own billet 6 piston calipers front and rear on 16” rotors. Sourced a 8HP90 trans and it’ll be on the way next week. With can bus I can use a rotary style shifter(not my favorite) but have to have an electronic signal. Don’t plan to run a console so that isn’t an option for a shifter. I’ll post pics as stuff starts coming in.

Found an original paint 69 patina truck. It’s exactly what I wanted for this build. I plan to use the Sweet Patina rub to shine it up and fix a few small rust spots and have something I’m not worried about driving anywhere.
