69' c10 lq4 swap
well guys, thought i would make a build thread of the truck. The old man and I call it the black hole, because nothing went right and we never got it done for power tour. Its a 69 c10 short box. Goin for the rat rod look. It originally had a 6 cyl and a 4 speed.
pulled the 6 out and started mocking up the motor mounts
we picked up a 2004 lq4 longblock with a bad piston pin in #1. got that replaced and painted the block and installed a 228r cam and some pac springs
also shaved the truck intake, and valve covers. wont do that again, as i have about 20 hours into it
decided to go with a t-56 trans and a ls7 clutch. the shifter came out under the seat, so i cut and bent the old 4 speed shifter to make it fit and welded it to the cheap ebay shifter i got. looks old skool.

thanks guys. i appreciate it. this thing has been way harder than it shoulda' been. we'll probably roll it like this for a while and then murder it out after a bit of body work. gotta preserve whats left of the body
