hey guys, havent posted for a long time with pics of the truck, im sure some of you might remember about 3 years ago or so i had some up of the truck when my dad and i finished it, everything has been great but this fall i decided to put some money into it so i pulled the front clip and yanked out the old 275hp 327 and th400 trans and replace it with another 327/th400. the 327 is a 65 vette block and heads, i was rated 365 hp from the factory, this one has been bored .30 over, steel crank, forged pistons, 11:1 compression, and the rest are obvious bolt ons. its got just cheapo valve covers right now but im expecting a big old box of goodies from summit any day now. i went with the proform dress up kit, its all wrinkle black stuff. i also am getting some ceramicoated headers from them too. This weekend im picking up a freshly rebuilt th400 and if i get some time i might have them bolted together and in the truck but hard to say (ive got a busy weekend lined up....watching the cardinals win the world series and drinking lots of beer). i got the rear leafs de arched roughly 3.5-4 inches and a 1 inch shackle drop. Tonight i just fit up the new feul cell my buddies dad made up for me, i am so pumped with the fit and just how nice it tucks up compared to that awful blazer tank i had in there (that is forsale here soon by the way). Anyways here are some pics for you guys, tell me what you think, Derek

Looks good! Nice jack too!

smoknbarrels · 10-27-2006, 12:27 PM

nice job!.. but you should really get rid of that solid fan! it's eating up at least 10-15HP from those nice camel hump heads! at least put a clutch fan on, or an electric..

Looking Good Derek! You Still Got The 1/2 Ton 4x4?

NW Ol Blue · 10-29-2006, 07:18 PM

365hp should be real fun on the snow packed streets of Kelowna. Keep it right side up.

67cst · 10-29-2006, 11:16 PM
