(Project) "Finders Keepers" 5.7 Vortec, SFBD

TuckaBlaze · 10-10-2007, 03:33 PM

Well I found the truck I have been looking for after waiting for a good deal, and I think I got a good buy on this one! 1995 Std. cab short bed with 111k miles on a 2.2. I got a good base to make this truck, "the truck", I have had in my head, and had dreams of driving.

Theres ALOT of stuff thats gonna be going on. You wont find out the next step till I post pictures. I can say this wont look anything like it does now. I can give a hint on one thing! 5.7.

Pics do the talkin. Im not posting them all. For all the pics theres a Photobucket link!

*Gos to photobucket to upload pictures*

Edit: PhotoBucket link! http://s212.photobucket.com/albums/cc33/Tuckarson/

TuckaBlaze · 10-10-2007, 03:45 PM

To give you an idea on how good of shape shes in.

TuckaBlaze · 10-10-2007, 03:47 PM

And last pics im posting for now... "The Powerhouse Donor" (5.7 Smokes both tires on that big b*tch)

Ill also add that the trans. has been rebuilt 25k miles ago with a shift kit, and the motor has 93k miles on it.

As my friend 2dxtreme said, this truck is a VIRGIN! The dash looks like and the bolts look like no one has ever took this thing apart! No scraches on the screws.

Stock speakers and all!

TuckaBlaze · 11-04-2007, 05:25 PM

TuckaBlaze · 11-04-2007, 06:41 PM

Well I got it started... and you know what this means!

Rebuild! Yup new everything. i think the rings set up and they busted.

But boi she sounds good! im thinkin about maybe puting some watter in it and letting it run to see if it stops, but i know it prob wont.

Edit: I get prices on a whole rebuild kit tomorrow! Peice by peice its 225$

TrYiN2LaYaDiMe · 11-04-2007, 07:20 PM

how did u paint it or should i say get it that smooth... glass or just alot of sanding.

TuckaBlaze · 11-04-2007, 07:32 PM

Alot of sanding, and filler primer.

***2dxtreme*** · 11-04-2007, 08:39 PM

yea me and daniel are actually painting the same parts on the same year truck and when he says sanding he means alot of sanding. just in my dash bezel alone i can gurantee i have about 20hrs of sanding thats including any wet sanding as well. but man it looks tits when its all sanded

TrYiN2LaYaDiMe · 11-04-2007, 10:18 PM

i gotta find a color to paint my interior i dont want all blue i was thinking black or a dark blue

TuckaBlaze · 11-04-2007, 10:25 PM

WELL! i ran watter thru it, the rear heater core for the rear heat was leaking like a sob, but i kept watter in it and its not smoking now! (Well VERRY little)

She Sounds so sweet! It made me tingle thinking about it as i reved it up to redline!

I still think ima rebuild it before it goes in the s10. just cuz i have my friend casey and its cheap. And the simple fact i may run low boost... (Shhhh)

Ima paint his dash peices, and he helps me rebuild my engine!

For paint Trade!
