Well shit. I spent all of Wednesday, Wednesday night, and Thursday wee hours of the morning working on putting together my stroker 1973 shovel bottom end. It's got all of the goodies and has come together very nicely. Unfortunately my oil pump was binding up and I didn't bring my lifter blocks with. Oh yeah and somewhere along the line we made a mis-calc and now have tooooo much piston popping up out of the bore. Time to CNC some stroker plates! Enjoy the pictures. I am posting up a TON!

It was interesting welding the cast frame piece to the mild steel weld on hard tail gusset. The cast needed a bit more heat to get started,
