well the engine would be going into my 72 blazer. it's a daily driver for now. with the old engine in her now she was pretty quick. she was atleast fast enough to beat the ricer's at my school. I'm not sure what kind of rear gears it has, but I do have a brand new th-350 with a stage II shift kit in it , probably with around a 1000 miles on it. I'm not to terribly concerned with the gas mileage. but the higher it is the better. I try to put in 92 octane when ever I can, so I don't have a proplem paying for good gas.

mikep I would be very grateful for any help you could give me. I wouldn't mind taking a look at that engine too. Why do you want to get rid of it?

p.s. your truck looks pretty sweet from the little pic. Do you have more pictures?
