So I haven't updated this in a while but I've gotten a few things done. I got the engine back from Bill Trovato at BTR. It's now a 383 stroker. Scat crank and rods, Mahle pistons, Comp hyd. roller cam, Edelbrock E-Street heads, Performer intake, Everything is new except for the block and bearing caps. Here's some pics of the short block waiting to be assembled!

I love those trucks. Looking for one a little closer to Seattle!

Maybe it is the small town hill billy in me but my favorite vehicle, hot rod has always been a pick up truck. I picked up an 86 c10 about 2 years ago and built a 355 for it. Ran into money issues and sold the roller. Kinda miss it a little. I like what you're doing with it. Nice ride.

I have the exact same truck. It has been sitting in my back yard for years. I bought it only because my brother in law needed money and I i bought it from him wit the intentions of him buying it back when he could. A guy stopped the other day and offered to buy it and it got me thinking of doing something with it. I have been thinking of doing a 383 stroker like you did. I am trying to set up a budget for this project and was wondering how much it will cost to do this? I have never done a project this big before. I have only rebuilt 2 engines in my time and they were both 4 cylinders. What do I need to look out for and I would appreciate some pointers from some experienced gear heads.
