Not sure about the slip yoke issue in the driveshaft... unless I'm totally missing something here, the motor/transmission are stationary, and the t-case is stationary, so I can't see a need for a slip yoke... And The more metal you cut and stick together, the more proficient you get at it...

GunFreak... work looks good thus far. However, you might want to look into this info regarding driveshaft angles. I know that the trans tailshaft to T case input is fixed, and you shouldn't be seeing any movement in fore/aft plane with new engine/trans/t case mounts used. Driveline 101 Tom...

I don't recall the starter bolts as being 'torque-to-yield' bolts, as many headbolts are. Headbolt stretch is a usual problem & thus the reason for tossing them & using new ones. Starter bolts should be fine for reuse, as long as they aren't stretch-bolts... Another option is to drill the...

Stud girdle, while a band-aid, will buy you some time. And the 6.X could be built later if you wished with 18~ish:1 pistons & then turboed. Longevity comes down primarily to quality of what you start with, maintenance, and how hard you run it. I've seen 6.X motors go 300K & some only make it to...

Insurers will never see it as anything more than a '84-'85 Chevrolet pickup truck. As such, this is not an investment vehicle. Unfortunately, the most it will ever be worth is no more than the highest bidder will offer you for it at time of sale. 'Tanner'
