Re: Am I Crazy?

I knew a guy with a 283 he put in a`77 K/30 4spd that kicked butt.Another freind had a`78 F250 w/400(not that they compare to a SBC) and they went at a follow me challenge.The Ford lost and that guy had the girls in his truck.You have gears,you have power.I`d consider that/At least it isn`t crazy.But,you`re lucky to have a 400,now.At least keep the 283 around for a replacement.I really like my 400/4spd in my truck.
I`m building a`67 shortbed 2wd from scratch.I already have a 350/TH350 for it and thetheme is use what I have.But,I found a deal on a complete just pulled original`68 327/TH400 and had to have it for the`67 just to give it more`67 flavor.It`s at the machine shop now.I`m using the TH350,though.I know where you`re coming from.
