I've never been a thief but I swear, every day I wake up, I feel like I'm stealing time...
You and me both my brother from another mother.....
So any hints as to the next build??????? Inquiring minds want to know.[ddd

I guess saying "build" might have been misleading. My other daily driver, 83 C10 has 237,000 miles with the original 250 six and a 700R4. Neither have ever been worked on or replaced that I can see. The old gal has so much wear, the oil pump pressure is only 25 at start up and drops to around 15 when running temperature is reached. It taps from lifter wear. But it starts right up and runs every time. The tranny is starting to act up a bit and I figure it's time for a change. I happen to know there's another 305 motor in good shape right out there in my barn, along with another 700R4 with unknown past. I think Tobby can work me up another nice transmission and I'm not opposed to swapping the motor for something with a little more pizzaz....
I'm just looking at ways to cut down the down time. I can get the motor set up in very short order and if Tobby can do the transmission, I'll be set to do a simple swap. The last motor/transmission swap I did on the 31 took less than an hour with one man to help and the motor and tranny still together.
