72 Cheyenne

AND finally!......

Chassis back together minus fuel tank and brake lines.

Got my block back the other day. It's the original 350 4bolt bored out 40 over with an eagle forged 3.75 crank and H beam rods which equated to I think 385 0r 388 cubic inches. Got a set of Edelbrock RPM heads and a Weiand 142 blower that will go on it and should make somewhere toward 500 hp and a whole lot of torque.

Struggling on the tranny thing......would be easiest to put in a built 200r4, but got the itch for a 6-speed...........more money, but would sure be hella fun........any input appreciated!

As for the body, plan on a color change even though I like the way it looks now......just want a change. Probably gonna be a steel blue color with the lower moulding only and I found someone that sells Cobra type wheels with the 5/5 bolt pattern. Even though they are kinda Ford, I love em and thought they would look *****in.

That's my current plan.........BUT BELIEVE ME.......I change my flippen mind all the time!
