The transmission is now done other than painting the bottom of it. I put a new pan gasket and filter on it as well as new front and rear seals on it. It should be a good transmission as it had a very, very small amount of metal shavings in it. We also took the corvette out today for lunch and on a parts run today and it ran like a champ. It has a rebuilt 350 bored 30 over and has a small cam along with headers.

Lol yeah. We will need to wake it up from hibernation though. It is way faster than walking.
-
The smaller one is only $65 Stuart said. It is rated brighter and cheaper than the milwaukee m12 stick light.
-
Looks like dewalt is giving milwaukee some competition in the lighting category. The area light also runs off of either the new 20v packs or the 18v pod style packs. It can also be plugged in as well. http://toolguyd.com/dewalt-20v-led-lights-dcl050-dcl060/?utm_source=tg_side&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=toolguyd_recent_posts

We took out the engine to my grandpas place yesterday evening. I doubt it will be done in time for prom now. It is on the 26th and we still need to wire everything up and put the accessories on the engine and run the brake lines on the front end. I will probably wind up taking his 64 Corvette instead.

And all of the Bosch Capri pants he will buy.

What were you going to do about the tranny and transfer case?
-
What about the one where they go to the Deep South and get caught at the gas station. That one was hilarious!
-
I think that the 5.3 gets 270 hp but not sure about the torque. Go with whatever is easier to install. The aftermarket is your friend.
-
The 5.3s are good motors, would be great for crawling. For the 5.0 ford are you talking about the new coyote or the older one in the fox body mustangs 5.0 (actually 4.9)?
-
Looks great, I can't remember if you already said so but did you guys paint it yourselves?
We did paint it ourselves.

One day it came up the adress to one of the guys houses. We only have two things from HF. A small tubing (brake line, fuel line size) bender and a bench grinder stand. I think that their boxes are fairly good but have never investigated one at a store but we don't have one within 100 miles either.
-
Here is the engine now. It is as far as we can get it done here. We haven't fired it up yet though as we need to break in the cam. That consists of running it at 2000-2500 rpms while fluctuating. Our shop is a mess right now but since the engine is done we can start on our many other projects at home.

Were you going to keep the LS stock?
-
LS as in late model gm? If so he better have deep pockets.
-
Great video Javier. I thought the dewalt would have done better than that.
-
Glad to hear.

The craftsmans are rebranded gear wrenches. For auto use I hardly ever use my ratcheting wrenches. I don't see the flex being handy to me.
-
I have a pair too and I like them as well.
-
Amazon or eBay are great places for batteries. They are way cheaper.
-
I think that they make 12v coolers but not sure about microwaves. I have seen 12v coffee pots, toaster ovens, and more. Just check the amp rating and make sure your vehicle can handle it.
-
Tonight we put the oil pan and chrome timing cover on with new gaskets and seals. The lifters are in as well. The engine sounds like it makes great compression. There isn't a whole lot left to do but wire everything up and hook up the lines and finish the interior and then it should be done. We are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

We have 3 on our finish mower. We only have to sharpen them every other year. What do you sharpen them with DR?
-
If you are going to use it for a daily driver I wouldn't go with a cam that big. My grandpas truck will be more of a show truck more than anything. I would go with something in the 240 range on the intake side. It will be noticeable but shouldn't affect the drive ability much.

Welcome Jordan. Harold is exactly right Klien tools will last more than one lifetime. I have a few of my grandpas tools from when he worked at the local electric co-op over 20 years ago and they still work like new ones. You won't regret your decision one bit.
