Re: 1958 Apache Big Window Loooooong Bed "Lucky"
No new truck photos yet, but I picked up a (supposedly) running 283 from a Chevelle pretty cheap, and its rated up to 220 so thats an easy kick in the pants for Lucky without breaking the bank. It also came with extra 327 heads (which I wont use, anyone in Norcal need 327 heads?), an extra 327 intake, and an Edelbrock 1404 500cfm carb.
Carburetion is a whole new world for me, by the time I got a drivers license everything was fuel injected.
"Doing it right" and having everything machined, hot tanked, etc. is great, but I think I'll be dropping this in as-is and seeing what happens. If it's garbage, that just means more chances to learn!!
Are there any reasons I should try and fabricate side mounts instead of using the front mounts? Is it worth the trouble?
