Chip Foose said it best: make subtle mods so that when people see it they scratch their heads and know something has been done, but don't know what was modified. Good luck Nut Case
Thanks lol! Anywhere I can get info on the heads?

To my surprise he did, although to this day I hear about how he coulda sold it for 500.00 bucks, lol.

At any rate, I like your drive and confidence. You can build this, and I personally also would like to see you keep the 327. Those Chevy 6 cylinders where not the best engines, and I promise you'll regret using it. By the time you hit 16, regardless of how level headed you may be, your gonna want that 327 in there for a few reasons, lol.

Good luck and have fun.

Thanks chance! Must be fun to hear about that 500 bucks all the time haha
I'm gonna end up finding a second truck that's decent and run with that 327 in it... This truck isn't exact.y gonna be driven everyday and I run our 6 cylinder farm truck quite a bit and I'm ok with it... But I'm definatly still giving it thought!
