i'm back to the drawing board on the motor... so many options lol. i want a roller cam but holy **** on the price tag... anyone wanna buy me a retro fit kit and donate it to the save a chevy cause?

Sure! Do I get a night out on the town with you if I donate? Hehe

Some retro fit kits aren't too expensive. I think Comp's is pretty reasonable. I'm good with hyd flat tappet myself. I had a custom ground cam made from Lunati and it ran $200. Again, hyd flat tappet.

Ordered my 2x3 3/16 wall steel tube, Currie enterprises rebuildable Johnny joints, and 1-1/4 12tpi tap to fab my trailing arms, and my aftermarket trailing arm crossmember made outta 1/4 inch steel with extra drive shaft clearance and clearance to run 3" exhaust through it. Get my arms built and the front suspension disassembled and she'll be ready for powder coat!

backed out on powder coating... scared shitless of it chipping lol so i ordered a complete frame coating kit from http://www.kbs-coatings.com/chassis-paint-kit.html so we'll see what it does lol

 

[Gen1Pat]

If I was to do powder coating, it would be the tempered finish for durability.

That kit should do the trick. Eastwood has some really good frame supplies, as well.
