but I've been wrong before.

I didn't think any 81-86 1/2 ton pickups had the option for a 350, not even Cali. I knew this changed in 87.but I've been wrong before.

OK mike I changed the way your quote read a bit but I never added anything:-)
the LS9 350 was actually an emissions option 350 for Calif. only. It was a LOW compression 350 rated a whopping 5 HP more than the 305 but did it at 600 lower RPM it was also 30 more foot Lbs. of torque. I've only seen it in ONE of ALL the trucks/blazers I've had . DAVE
