finally made it in
« on: June 18, 2010, 01:31:53 pm »
Hello to All,

I have been trying to get on this forum for a week! I don't no why I couldn't? But now I am here so lets talk trucks. I Have a 82 short wide chevy 2wd that I am starting to fix up. It is ugly now but soon it will nice. I pullled the old 305 out and odered a 395 horse 355 crate engine from Dominator Engine in Arlington,TX. I changed the trans to a Non-lockup and had it rebuilt. The guy told me three weeks on the engine 12 weeks ago!?!? Hey good things come to those wait! I hope!? Well I will be on here this weekend talking trucks........ Glad to finally be on the 73-87 forum!

Welcome! We love pics around here. Such a shame about your engine, did they give you a reason why its taking so long? I would have given up by now and found another source, unless it is GM who is taking their sweet time.

Hey Guys! how do you insert pictures here?

Save the pics somewhere like photobucket. then copy the picture's link. When your typing a response or post, click on the "picture frame" icon, to the right of the you tube icon. Insert the pic's link in this:   [ img] [/img ]. Repeat for each pic.

You are trying to paste the link in the image code. Just copy in photobucket to the left where it already has the image code.

" It is ugly now but soon it will nice."
It's not ugly; it's just oozing potential.
looks like a nice solid project.
