well the official start if the project is Saturday, and i believe it will take me about a month to a month and a half, unless i get laid off and then it should only take me about 3 weeks

I found a set on eBay for 800. But i am currently discussing with my grandpas friends weather or not i am going to make the switch because i can run a flatter piston and archive the same compression, and with a lil head work get about the same flow.

I have deiced to go ahead and get the 77 back on the trails. Sadly my friend pretty much wrecked my truck about a year ago, and here its sat ever since. I would like to fix it up one day, but for now i am just going to use it as a trail rig. ALL BODY DAMAGE, and the BLACK door, are results of my friend.

That'd make a great trail rig since you won't need to worry about denting it. Git-r-dun!
