Thought I'd introduce myself. I used to be deep into the 67-72 Chevytruck scene. I've left and come back. I live near Durham NC.

Before I go much further I have to put this out in the open and hope I don't get banned. My truck will not be bowtie powered, or even GM powered. By now many of you are probably saying Oh God please not a Fxxd. Well it's not it's actually a Small Block Mopar.

It's like this I have a fully forged balanced 408 Stroker (started life as a 360) from another project that went away so I could get back into the truck. The buyer of the drag car I was building wanted a big block so I kept the motor.

I also look at it like this. It's nothing different than our fathers and grandfathers did in the 50s and 60's.

Anyhow it's good to be here and I hope you can look past my cross breeding.

I like the way you think. In a perfect world I'd have a new ls7 crate engine, but I don't live anywhere near perfect, so I'll settle with 500 hp a different way.

This was once my truck and is again, It currently has a 2/4 Early Classic Drop. When I can get time to pull it back in the garage, I'm blowing away the front sheet metal and going back with 67 stuff at the same time i fit the enging and tko 600.
