The 69
I bought a 1969 short bed a few years back and now i should have some time and money to finally work on it. I plan on doing the suspinsion and drivetrain this winter and go from there. Right now it has a 454 with a 700r4 and I want to get rid of it and go with the newer 5.3 or something along those lines. Ive already got most of my Suspinsion stuff from porterbuilt both front and rear now I just need to install it..

Re: The 69
Couldn't just change it to power steering gear box and add a pump? I know that sounds easier than done, but there should be some parts around to get it done.

Re: The 69
Getting rid of the big block has been a back and forth battle for me. Im ready to get the truck back on the road, but while its down I would like to make it easier to drive. Its hard to pass up the 5.3's.. They have low mileage motor and trans for 1800 bucks in the salvage yards..

Re: The 69
Im thinking about saleing the 454 and 700r4. The motor runs great with a small cam,new holley double pumper 850 and new hei stuff from msd. The 700r4 lost 3rd and 4th. Im wanting to sale it complete from carb to oil pan. I just droped 800 bucks in the carb and hei stuff. The carb has 5 miles on it maybe 50 on the hei stuff. Whats a good price for something like this?

Re: The 69
It sucks you dropped all that cash in the new parts, you know your lucky if you get half of what you gave for them. With that said, I'm not sure what these are going for? good luck with the sale.

Re: The 69
great looking project, if your going to sell the big block deffinently leave it in the truck and post it for sell, most people won't even consider buying an engine they can't hear run. If it runs well and doesn't smoke or use oil it would bring $1500 to $2000 around here.
