MID12sSSS Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'm digging the cap on the end of the water pump pulley! I need one of those! Motor looks good! Yeah. I welded the pulley to the pump shaft. Filled the entire cap and then ground it flat. Joe sells the little billet cap to cover up the welds. Lol. I've seen several trucks rip the water pump pulley off when pushing the 2300 to the levels that I will be. After closer inspection to the jackshaft, I'm not too fond on running the bearings. So I'm gonna have to send it out to Magnuson and have new bearings pressed on. They just feel gritty and I don't want to risk it. Haha. Looks Good B. The block being painted is sick. Thanks man.

rcapone Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Glad to see you're back in the game! I know it has to have been killing you to have all the parts just sitting there and not being able to do much. Motor looks insane too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MID12sSSS Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'm having the SS towed to my new place and hopefully I can start making some progress this weekend or something. I still have lots of boxes in the garage from the move. Lol. Gonna have to clear some space! Yeah. It's been rough having pretty much every penny I've saved the last 3 years wrapped up into this truck, and all it does is sit. I need to finish it soon! It's driving me crazy! We just got an AWD dyno about 20 miles from my house. A member or two from here have already been on it. Everyone seems to be putting down some good numbers so I'm getting anxious! Sure would be nice to put down about 700 to the ground. Lol. But we'll see. I have no idea what to expect. As long as it can break 11.5 I'll be happy. I can't wait to hear that cog drive scream!

BlueAKSSS Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Wow looking good, lots of shiny parts! That AWD dyno sounds really fun, can't wait to see what you can put down and run at the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MID12sSSS Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Yeah it just sucks it's taking so long. But I guess I can't say I'm surprised. Last time I did a build it took nine months. Lol. And with this one I'm already at three. But it'll see some more progress soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilEz02 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Awesome work. Thanks for update. We needed that! Good luck on all life's curve balls and twist. Sounds like it's all coming together and you'll be running it before ya know it. Can't wait for that dyno video!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcapone Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Finally moved into my new place. Haven't completely unpacked yet but I'm getting there. Having the SS towed over to the new place this week so I can start making some progress at home. I never get any shop time anymore at work so it's been a long while since I've been able to work on the truck. Back ordered parts from Left Coast 32 showed up and I'm just now starting to pick at the build a little again. I was hoping to be driving it by now but life gets in the way sometimes. Anyway, I'll try to keep this thread as up to date as possible. Haven't been on it awhile. But here's a few pics of the long block I took a while ago. Looks awesome Brandon...except for the FORDS in the background! Edited June 9, 2014 by L8ERBRO (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MID12sSSS Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Looks awesome Brandon...except for the FORDS in the background! Lol. Yep. Job security. Drive the best and fix the rest. All these damn fords breaking all the time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
