I want to pull a trailer all over this great country and I think I have the basis for an adequate tow vehicle.I'm a cheap so-and-so and I think long and hard before I spend.
>>Currently thinking a 383 (stroked 350) or a 400 small block with a NV 4500 5spd,and keep my 3.73 gears but up-grade to trac-lock. Discs in front might be nice but I haven't yet seen an 8-lug conversion kit.
>>Then fix or replace the AC, a little body work+paint,better sounds,and I'm gone.--Or maybe just get a DuraMax.
>>Anyway dreams are cheap.
