Super Stock truck build.

Thought I remembered you were on the list for a billet block? Is this the "small" engine to "get you by" until the billet block is done?

Pictures from Yesterday. Finally finished up the injector lines.
Note: the back two cylinders on each side are crossed on purpose.
This is the way the pump cam comes, I could of had a custom cam ground to simplify routing but if I were to ever have a problem, it could cost me several months waiting on a new cam to be cut.

Getting a little busy, waiting on oil filter from clearview filtration. It will be mounted between the shocks on the outside of the frame.

If you don't mind me asking, do you have an estimate of how many actual hours and dollars you have into the build so far as it sits?
 
I'd really rather not think about it. :doh:

It takes a lot of both. I think we probably spend quite a bit less than some because 90% of the build is done in house. The hours involved on a ground up, scratch build like this with so so many one off and home made parts is quite astounding. Hate to think what else I could have done with my time sometimes.

Haha, what else do you have to do? Unless you have maintenance on the house or time with family or something. Otherwise everything else you do would just be wasted time with no long term pay off like you get with building this truck :D

I actually mind you asking. After all Chris has shared in this thread with this build, you have the balls to ask what goes into a project like this. If you have to ask, you shouldn't know. If you have to ask, you most certainly can't afford it.
 
Is this final install or does it all come back off to paint the frame & such? So much work either way.
 
Once every last thing is accounted for, it comes back apart and gets painted and finaly assembled.

He didnt mean it in a bad way, was just a honest inquiry from a guy who thinks its a bad ass ride. Chris will get questions like that 24/7 once it starts slinging dirt.
 
Its gorgeous!

I know I'll never afford it, not with this job anyways. And even knowing I can't ever afford the million dollar truck, it's still cool to know that its a million dollar truck. And I was just curious about the hours into the truck, because I was wondering if it was something crazy like 1000 total man hours or something. I wouldn't know, because I've never done it, and never will.

I was just asking, no harm or "stealing of secrets" intended.
