Well got got almost all the exhaust done on my 75 K25.. it's nice how main quest just have side quests randomly popup
Need to replace/modify my spring hitch/bumper to finish the tail pipe and it will split the frame and leaf springs and dumped right under the rear quarter
2 minutes of me foot braking it. Not sure how much drone is the barn or truck, also bare sheet metal in the cab..

Hmmm should I start a thread for my gasser projects mainly the Malibu wagon, 75 square body and my 97 C3500HD with 454/NV4500??
Anyways
Picked up new floor pan for my wagon today. Still got a lot of brackets left to get but this is the biggest piece
Need to get some spot weld cutters/drill bits, probably the ones made out of tungsten or tool steel which are $$$.
To know my "mid size car" is as big or bigger than today's "full size car"..

Oh you make me feel not so crazy Adam, I've got more vehicle drama then 3 high school kids, finally got one fixed, and still have 1 fucked and one sticking its tongue out at me, how have you been man?
Doing pretty good, this year got the LMM back on the road after frame swapping it, and paid off early, still got a lot of little stuff need to be done.. including performance upgrades ??
?almost debt free per credit report .
All I have left is the house, but.... Tired of tinkering on stuff already.
That's awesome, I rent off my uncle, looking at buying land in SEOH or WV and base everything inside a 40*60 barnominum type setup
I wouldn't say I'm "tinkering." some things got put on hold for years the square body didn't have an engine for almost a decade ?
I think we are all in the same boat to varying degrees.
Lol, yeah, your projects are a pretty in depth, I'm just bouncing from vehicle to vehicle fixing this and that, well, car to car, the truck is solid, minus the valve body I apparently couldn't rebuild lmao
About 3-4hrs of work, got exhaust off, almost all accessories off, down to pulling the driveshaft, transmission drain coolant disconnect PS pump.
Can't find my intake lifting plate, darn thing grew legs and hid from me???
Got a FBMP score to pickup tomorrow morning, then swing by get another lift plate for whopping 13.00
get some measurements for the shifter hole., the pull the rest of the drivetrain. Then strip the interior
Probably pull inner fenders as well.

Got back, scored this off FBMP.. need and O2 sensor and ECT sensor and fuel pump...But for 350.00 dam good deal... the ECM is ~800 and the hand held is ~350 each.
I have this, but the ECM and hand held are dead. And I verified that with the new to me MPFI version.

What ever happened to the Hamilton cam? I saw you got the actual specs from it. Is someone duplicating it?
Still got it. Currently Sitting in oil bath.
Most likely use comp's custom cam for additional builds. As everyone wants to regrind the stock cam. Or 2500 to copy it with a billet black
It was a rush/big deal, because I thought there where still some on the shelves. And I beat myself up for not buying the cams last year ('24)... Because "I wasn't ready" yet
Love to put a dmax in my square body and my C3500HD.. and possibly my wagon but that's WAY down the roads. For any of those steps.
For '26
Right now stacking parts, for everything ??
, get my pickup and wagon decent drivers, pay off the last couple grand of debt.Then get a built transmission in the LMM
Also I'm not pull the LMM apart for anything serious unless a have a reliable 2nd vehicle which I don't really have currently. As the 4 other registered vehicle are either not running, of not in solid enough condition to A-B for a short time.
And I don't have enough to build a LMM engine then swap it in over say a long weekend which is currently pointless with a stock transmission and not a work vehicle unlike what I did with my LMM dually
As for the Cam and the prices, I find that to be absurd. I am going to find out if a blank can be obtained. I saw something about callies not wanting to do the Duramax cams but I couldnt find any sales on them.Still got it. Currently Sitting in oil bath.

Yeah IDK who's making billet blanks... Callie's won't do anything unless your spending 5 figures.. Wagler didn't give forth coming vibes.
Yeah, I am trying to see if anything is available but no one is picking up the phone. Maybe next week...
Yeah most those guys are shut down till the 5th or at minimum skeleton crews doing shutdown maintenance
Drove up to friends place in upstate NY. Some 350 miles of snow/blizzard.
Truck randomly went limp mode and through a P0101 MAF code. Swung in to a rest area and found this... Air filter all wet and plugged
No clue what could cause the issue ???

Now that's a cold engine bay! Kind of surprised how much snow accumulated under the hood.
