I just completed at full rebuild on my 1989 chevy 1500 5.7 Everything is replaced or redone. it was bored to a 375 ci and is running fantastic. Any questions as to what was done are welcomed.
Pics are in gallery

Yeah thats a true story. Well the wording isnt the clearest it could be but it tipped over the hoist and fell. and the damage it did was to destroy the oil pan, break the smog pump and cracked the front housing.

Was just asking because there once was a time when something
that I had fell, though I did have to take a running start at it.

lol no i used a hoist that was not ment for a bigger engine it was meant for the tiny jap things. but i just fixed the album so its now viewable

OK, I see them now. You even have pictures of the staff, plus an "action shot"
Good deal, it's looking nice. Thanks for putting them up.

all that work to go back with exhaust manifolds. the shame.
love the pics and hope you are happy with the end result. the engine looks awesome and maybe with a little luck, some members will get the itch and clean up their engine like you have.

I know what you mean with the manifolds there was alot more i wanted to to with it. 4 barrel carb, headers, all kinds of things but i ran out of cash and had to settle on a few things.

bradrhale · 09-25-2009, 10:42 AM
