So I have had the heep sitting in my barn holding down some jack stands for about a year now. I planned on having the beast running by now but I may have underestimated the amount of $$$$ it will take to finish. So far I have a built and shaved 14bolt rear. A 35-spline highsteer D60 KP, both with disks. I also built a 4.7L stroker and put a big valve head on it, had the tranny built to accomodate it. I also have a PSC pump and steering box. I have 37X13X16 boggers. And a Shiznit load of other little misc. things, including a KOR 7" lift and sliders. All in all about $10-$15K worth of stuff.
Well, I don't know how I missed it but when I went to put the 350 MC and switch the brake pedal around I noticed I could see light under the dash. So right where the harness and hood cable pass throught the firewall there is a rotted hole about the size of a baseball. And the fender below the master cylinder/booster is completly gone where it meets the fire wall. There is actually a 1-2" gap from the frame rail to the out side of the inner fender. As I'm looking around it I stripped out the interior carpet and all and there is also a hole where the driver seat meets the floor about the same size. And the entire right rear fender tub is gone about half way back.
So is it even worth fixing this heep or should I liquidate what I can and start with something more there. Sorry about the novel. Any input is appreciated.
