    No sir I’m building a C model for a forum member is all I’m at liberty to say. It’s not gonna be Bilt to the Hilt but still have the same love and pride I put in all of em that come outta here.

    it’s a big pin 3ZJ
    Put deck rings in the block then trued the top. Lowers looked really good
    Went with the enhanced durability C model kit raised edge liners. New head. New 8785 nozzles. I had a turbo built for it. Steed speed manifold. Dual thermostat conversion, done the idler gear and worked the timing advance and pump over. All new springs, servo governor shaft as well as plungers and barrels. We’re sorta putting the finishing touches on it. Last one I done this way a while back was really nice. He’s put 15k miles on it with 0 issues hopefully this one turns out the same

    I've done some sketchy stuff. This isn't even close to it. Not really sure why the people on F@*$book are up in arms about it.

    Seemed most were concerned about a parking brake. Like wtf! Are these morons talking about. Then someone said homemade tools and osha don’t mix. Idgaf about osha. I doubt any guy with a shop in his backyard does.
