Sorry for the crap picture (cell phone) but I started working on the truck swap last night. This is what we got done yesterday. Motor mounts are half built and tranny cross member is in the correct spot.
Picked the shortblock pieces up from the machine shop today and got the rods, pistons together (spiral locks were fun at first), rings are on, and crank is in. I'll get the pistons dropped in this weekend and everything torqued down. Heads will get put together next week and I'll probably have a completely assembled motor (minus oil pan).
Truck is:
62 Chevy sheetmetal
63 Frame with 5 lug and disk breaks
