About 4 months ago a friend of my step-dad wanted to get rid of a 1965 shortbed stepside 1/2 c10, so i said to him i wanted it and would pay money but he said it was fine and gave it to me free as long as i towed it and now its mine.
i have a 1974 454 w/4 bolt mains out of a 3/4 pickup and was wondering if i should put that in or sell it and put a 400? i would like a 408ci stroker eventually with some nitrous because my main goal is a street/strip setup mainly towards the strip portion,or would it be a better idea to destroke the 454 to 427 and see if i can build close to 550hp or alittle less and run it n/a? THANK you for listening to a newbie and his rant
