Hi,



Just finished my repu project and thought I'd post it here.Bought it around 1 month ago with a blown head gasket from some farmer(never told me the rad has leaks )for $400 and swapped the 84 SE 6-port motor from my 83 that has frame rust into this regular cab short box.After countless holdups with stuck on bolts and other things in my way from finishing this swap I fired it up for the first time today.Now I can put it back into action as a daily driver to get me back and forth to work..... after I find a way to tone the exhaust down. Pics are located in my garage.Link is in my sig.I will post up to date pics after the thunderstorm outside stops.Thanks to those who helped out with info(you guys know who you are) and tips.



Later,

Luis

i likey! it needs a good cleaning, scratch that, it looks slow enough to have a lot of fun.



the funniest thing about my friends 20b2600, was that everyone though it was slow, so when it wasnt, they got this look of suprise, he he

Around here it's the "whats wrong with your truck?" then I tell some of them its a 13b rotary under the hood and they laugh.
