Like I knew a 50th anniversary big block truck from my butt when I bought it. The only reason I bought it was because it was cheap and I figured I could recoup a bit by selling the motor and this motor I put it in is one Iv'e been kicking around in my head for the last 20 years. It's got 400+ horsepower on a bad day , gets better than 10 mpg and has gobs of torque. A cast crank weak bottom end 396 would only leave me unsatisfied and wishing I had a 454. I have no intention on doing a concourse resto so I'm building the truck I want not the one chevrolet built 35 years ago.
If anyone wants to step up to trade me a late 60's/early 70's 2 wheel drive blazer with no motor for this truck without the wheels and tires and engine I'm all over it. I'll even give you the number of the guy who has the original 396 so you can buy it back from him. Otherwise I'm building it my way.
