I just bought my first truck, a 1978 Chevy LUV, and she's a project. She's not all stock, had a few alterations and repairs, including being lowered (correctly) 4 inches. I am completely new to automotive anything and working on her motor is how I will be learning. She's not a pretty thing right now and I don't have her running yet, but I will soon hopefully. I would highly appreciate any information and help you all have. Thanks to Stuart who just sold me a motor and introduced me to this site! :ebiggrin

Thanks. I've done a bit of exploring of this site and I am impressed. I'll post pics of what I have so far in the project area. Progress may be a bit slow as I am working with my dad and he's only in town on weekends. I'm from our lovely Valley. Springfield area. Yourself?

You're right about the obsession part! :ebiggrin I will get some pictures up in the next couple of days. I only have the two motors in my possession, the actual car is sitting in the back lot of a local garage until I have the motor cleaned and rebuilt. I took a healthy chunk out of my pinky finger on my dominant hand while turning the flywheel (because I am clumsy as all hell) so I haven't done much with either motor as I wait for it to heal enough to avoid infection.
