Re: my 87 short bed project.

yea i was after this truck for 6 years from a old man down the road. i kept on bugin him till he finely let it go lol yea thats a oil press gauge. i just used it to start the motor on the ground befor i put it in. the motor is another good story. i payed 500 bucks for it with a saggy 4 speed. he told me it was just a stock 327. ppsshhh was he wrong lol. i took it home and tore it down cuz it sat in his shop for 8 years he took it out his el comino and put a newer 350 in it to run a.c. yea hes got money. but it turns out its a 0010. 010 020 350 board 60 over with trw .100 dome hight pistons. a balanced crank double hump heads. i gave it new gaskets and new intake. carb. hei destrib. and a old edelbroc i had. idk what the lift is on the cam but it surly counts them off. as far as gears go i was thinkin about 4:10s but that might be a bit much. i have a turbo 350 with a shift kit. i can take back roads to go to town but i dont want it to run out of gear at 100 lol
