Well I sealed the deal on drivetrain today. After careful weighing of my options I have decided to run a Pontiac motor after all. The thing is it's a GMC not a Chevy and although Chevy's are my first love, this truck is not one. If my truck were to have come with a V8 in 1959 it would have been a Poncho motor not a Chevy mill under the hood. I am not going to bother tracking the correct 336ci motor but am picking up a 350 that is coming out of my cousin's 1969 Firebird. It's strong and fresh, he build it about 7 years ago and it was strong! Too strong, it blew his tranny almost immediatly. He had a tranny built to handle the torque monster but then he decided to go bigger with them motor and tranny. The car has been sitting since the tranny blew so it is still low milage. I am excited about the deal and about doing something alittle different. It has a set of machined Ram Air 3 heads and we are negotiating a set of rollers for them also. I will be pulling the motor and tranny out the weekend after this coming one. Then after a quick freshing up it's going in the truck. I will take pics for you guys!
