I made my fillers, if I bought fillers from grantkustoms.com they would have cost me around $130 8O

The engine has been rebuilt, and it has a 4 barrel carb on it. I couldn't put aftermarket headers on because they hang way too low. Maybe later on a turbo, but I just wanna get her done so I can drive it!

Havin the long weekend helped out the build very nicely. Got the front/rear frame painted, engine bay painted, brake booster and brake lines painted, and got the motor and trans installed. Engine bay is about 95% done, finished up early today to relax 8) Here's some pics

Bagged 79 truck looks good like the color as for headers try Downy Toyota (they are V8-V6 conversion specialist) they have shorty headers that should work on your truck.Oh and have you thought of putting a 200R4 in your truck it would give you the best of both worlds 2.84 low and a overdrive and it is a bolt in deal. 8) 8) 8)
