    Granger Smith aka Earl Dibbles Jr. father's 74 GMC full restoration videos.

    I did not know that, probably because I am never up that late. He seem like a real good guy.

    This truck also has the big brakes as it was a camper special 8200 GVW rating, so will clean, paint, turn and all new brake parts. Really glad to have these big brakes. It sure is nice to have a doner vehicle. Speaking of doner, I am getting one complete ford 9" 59.5 inches wide, complete, and...

    Nice enough today to work on the doner truck, so got the body off. It is remarkably straight, with two good doors. Plan is to completely strip it down, taking lots of pictures. I plan on removing most of the exterior and interior paint, then fix any rust, imperfections. Somebody put three screw...

    Granger Smith aka Earl Dibbles Jr. father's 74 GMC full restoration videos.

    Watched all 23 episodes, but fast forward quite a bit. Interesting, he quit music, got busy in his local church, and is going to school studying theology. He lost a child I learned, hate to think about it, but he's headed in the right direction for sure.

    Manley push rods, very nice, weigh 73, and 83 grams each. I did not have any interference with rockers to valve cover. All studs torqued 45 ft lbs, guides adjusted, and tightened. Lash is .035 down from 0 backlash, so I went to 7:00 o'clock. Soaked the Johnson lifters B-4 installing. Shot brake...

    1964 Chevy ll ls1/t56 swap

    It is a C3, and yes you are right, go straight to the LS1/t56. I think that is good advice, so ECU, wiring harness, fuel tank pump.

    1964 Chevy ll ls1/t56 swap

    I also have a complete 94 Z28 Camaro, LT1, 700R4, posi. Everything could be swapped, engine is strong. 700R4 will go into the C20 with the 6.2 Detroit diesel....if it will bolt up, giving me OD, and easy swap. What to do? Anyway, I will hire a guy to help with body work, (found a former...

    1964 Chevy ll ls1/t56 swap

    I also have a 355 circle track motor, runs very good, and sounds great. The TH350 out of the K20 is also excellent, though I know I will have to change the tail housing to fit the car. This would be quick and dirty, and get it on the road, a good option as I am not getting any younger. I will...

    Soooo, while she looks a little rough, I just have one little bit of rust at the rear window, and body work is done. I will use 3M seam sealer, and clean/paint underneath with epoxy primer and paint to protect the body, may rhino line the fender wells. I plan on a mini tub also. The engine is a...

    What year bed is this

    That's odd, because I have two 73's a K10, and a K20, both have the doors, and both are original.

    I scoured the shop looking for my pushrod length checker, bugger lost it I guess. I made this from 3/8 crs, turned the end to 5/6 and radius with a file. 1/4-20 ready rod, made one two, and one three inches long, and a nut for a lock. Other end bottomed out tight. Worked well. Exhaust need to be...

    These are the head small parts, pushrod guides and rocker studs, poly locks. Very good quality.

    So I said I would post how to check valve to piston clearance. Two methods shown. With the soft springs you can find TDC, and then count the revolutions and part rev, and .312 exhaust, and .274 intake. The playdough just measure after the valves have opened and closed once.

    Best way to transport 19 55 gallon barrels?

    That's some funny **** right there, sure made me smile. I heat with an oil burning heater, but it does not like waste oil, bugger.

    Update on my Ignition Module failure!

    Yeah, I have run points, and while I still have engines with points, like the much hotter spark of electronic ignition, Pertronics has been good, but I run MSD on all my small and bbc engines. Yes I have a brand new one in a box I bought from ebay, it did not work, but could be sent back to be...
