I think I'm with C10-C90 Bill on this one, I have a 1979 model 289 Pete which is a 2 axle 359 with a silver 8v92 T in it. The front springs and frame are twice as heavy as my C60 or C80 trucks, I think you are looking at a 6v53 here. I'm afraid the DOT might look cross eyed at it also, just my opinion. Besides , a C60 drive shaft and rearend will never hold a 450 hp 92.
