My 1985 GMC High Sierra Step Side, Got her a few years ago at 15 years old as my first truck. The truck was pretty much bone stock, now 18 (still in high school) many sleepless nights later this is my end result .. for now. This truck has mannnny more up grades to come. Its believed to have 360k on the original 305, just started to burn oil bad and leak oil. Hopefully.. getting a 350 this summer. couple before and after shots.

That 85 Sierra is a cool first truck, or really just cool in general. Nice all around and good project to make nothing but better. Some nice add ons already too.

Re: How about some pics of your 4x4
realy nice looking truck
jegs sells a brandnew GM 350 for not a lot of money http://www.jegs.com/i/Chevrolet-Perf...rentProductId= its pretty basic cast crank cast pistons but 4 bolt mains and a 2 piece rearseal with all the stuff you have on youre 305 now you should have about a whole new longblock under the hood when youre done if you want more grunt i would go for a 383 with an eagle or scat rotating assembly and some vortec heads and some sort of cam meant for towing , that keeps the rpm low , if you build the machined block together youreself you prolly could do it for about 1500 to 2500 dollar depending on the machinework you need done to the bare block check some of the hotrod builds for details |

Re: How about some pics of your 4x4
the 350 should do fine it should allready give a little more power than advertized with the upgrades you allready have put on youre 305 (headers intake and carb)
should you decide to go bigger at a later date you could prolly use the 350 crate engine as the base engine for the 383 its allready a 4 bolt block or sell the 350 as a good bare shortblock and use the heads and all the external gubbins on the 383 shortblock , spend a little more and you got a rotating assemble with forged everything think either GM or bleuprint are pretty decent engine builders found this one : http://bossmachinefab.com/chevy-sbc-...d-top-383.html its realy cheap dont know the builder though |

Thats a definite idea. looks to be well built too. Thanks for the info. and the link! |
Re: How about some pics of your 4x4
Sounds like sound advice and should still be fair on fuel compared to the 305, the 383 may be a bit to much for all the driving you do.

Re: How about some pics of your 4x4
That crate engines heads and cam are its limiting factor. I wouldn't use them for a high performance build unless I did lots of work on them. A batter option would be a nice set of vortex heads. You will be pretty happy with the performance of that engine though. I have the same one and geared right it runs great

I wanted a side by side ATV, but hey, they are expensive....I got this 02 Blazer rolled for $600 and put $150 in oilfield pipe on it, is a lot more fun than a stock blazer now! Gonna lift it this winter and put a set of 32" tires on it.

Re: How about some pics of your 4x4
you could bring the sides up a little too so it be a little more watertight for wading through rivers
