I got to drive this truck when my friend first bought it!

Thank you so much for putting that bench seat in. Those goddamn buckets sucked with where the steering wheel was hahaha. Also the engine looks so much nicer now and I love the bowtie wingnut on the air filter.

Way better than before

This thread is hilarious! I also had a different vision of "all put away for winter". Omg...so funny! I'm readin and it says "horrible bowtie" and my thought was 'what horrible bowtie?' It hadn't been pictured yet... and then I saw it........I laughed out loud! I'm actually still laughing. Wow. Good call dude, that was hideous.
What a great thread.

So i pulled engine to do a re-ring job, but looks like i might go further and get it professionally rebuilt.

This engine is actualley a BUILT 406

What i have found so far.

.202 Heads with Comp guide plates, ARP Screw-in Studs, dual valve springs, Roller Rockers
ISKY roller lifters (Not sure on cam yet)
SpeedPro .030 Pistons
Eagle H-Beam 5.7" Rods
Cloyes timing gears
and alot of aftermarket small goodies

Anyways, it seems like it deserves a proper rebuild. stay tuned!!
