Currently tracking a box from summit which may contain rotating assembly stuff in it.
And maybe a very nice camshaft.. should we link a video to the cam it’s getting or make everyone wait?

Wait. Since that may have changed since you last saw it.

Nah man, I heard you like low end torque so we're using the stock l31 cam to provide copious amounts of power under the curve so you got torque on top of torque.
Gonna pretend I didn’t read that.

Block is going to the machine shop tomorrow morning. @littleblazer is taking it over, I’ll be in school. He also put the door latch in. Cleaning and organizing stuff tomorrow, who can guess what it’s getting at the machine shop?

Update: Got in contact with Black bear and found out what else we need, going 36lb injectors so we don’t run out of rpm. Sent them a bunch of info on the truck and they are going to send their mail order tune off what I gave them. Injectors were also ordered. Finger crossed to start assembly this week and it being completely assembled.

Great job guys.... I really didn't think you'd be able to pull it off in just 1 evening.:tiphat:

Thanks again guys for allowing me to swing by and hangout for a bit.

The Saga of “The Redd-Schnell From Hell”

So THIS Project Began... As They Say
With Brian and Paul, One Cold Day
Though Not Down on Their Luck
With their Broken Down Truck
They Had Their Work Cut Out This Way

During Days that Ran Well into Nights
They Both Worked in the Cold, Under Lights
While Knee-Deep in Intrigue
These Two Suffered Fatigue
Turning Wrenches Until they were ‘Frights’

But in time, this Mechanical Two
Pulled the Engine and Knew What to Do
They had all the Old Parts
Set on Roll-Around Carts
With The Need to Replace Quite a Few

With the 350 Set on The Stand
The ‘Engine Tear Down’ was at Hand
The Garage Floor was in Stains
When they Pulled Four-Bolt-Mains
And the Crank Didn’t Look all that Grand

The Pistons were also Not Buff
Hell, One even had Valve Damaged Stuff
But When all the Dust Cleared
The Two Men Persevered
And the Naked Small Block Looked so Rough

In Dark Times, its Important to Know
That No Matter Which Way that you Go
Engine Building Takes Sockets
And some Really Deep Pockets
So the Red Truck ‘Gets Back in the Show’

The Men Cleaned up the Floor with a Mop
While the Engine went off to The Shop
The Machinist Worked Magic
On a Motor... Most tragic
It Came Back to them Looking Tip Top!

Brian said, “No 350… You See...”
...For NOW it’s a Three Eighty Three!”
Though its Never the Rage
To Employ Plasti-Gage
Paul Insisted, Most Emphatically

So they Worked off and on, it would Seem
That they Sacrificed Much for this Dream
And in Spite of Bad Weather
The New Motor’s Together
Now “The Redd Schnell” is Running Supreme!

And at Night, when the Moon’s on The Rise
Comes The Red Truck, and it's No Surprise
That the Stories We Tell
Of the “The Redd Schnell... From Hell”
Puts a Glint in its Two Makers’ Eyes

In The Dark, Late at Night, People Heed
The Redd Schnell is ALIVE!” Yes, Indeed
For it Starts with NO Stumble
And The Engine DOES Rumble
NOW it Drives Down The Road At FULL SPEED!
