My Build (Big Green)

I got this truck when I was just 16, had it 12 years now. I never really wanted to change anything, still don't want to change alot. These trucks are perfect the way they are, but I'd like the repaint, get the interior redone, and get it a new pair of shoes. I thought about 18's and 20's, and 20's and 22's. I have something in mind, but as far as wheels go, its back to 15's for Big Green. I posted a few pics, but first off, I'll say what its went thru over the years. First, when I bought it, it was a 327/400t, bone stock. I went to my best buds house the next day, and he said it was nice, but we needed to install a bigger cam...lol...thats where it all began. It got a Lunati 282dur/480lift cam, no stall, just cam. It was HUGE with no stall, it lunged at stoplights...lol. People used to sak "got enough cam in that thing?" We were 16 years old, it was cool back then, we didn't know better, what was a stall?...lol. Ran that engine for about a year or so, cracked a piston and traded my block to his dad for a fresh 350 block. The guy his dad bought it from told us it was 30over, built and had running same day. 2 days later, buy calls, says its 60over, to late now, it was done and with the same 327 cam, but 2500 stall, and was a 12.1 engine. That engine ran like an SOB for a year, 8 grand by a 17yr old teen several (hundred) times...lol. After that is was a 468bbc, over 700hp and 400shot, scared the ever living **** outta me. Sold the bb and built another 350 and when that route till todays gas prices, now its stock 350 with RV cam, and a DD. Pics in order.


stock 327, before or after cam, not sure.


burnout with the 12.1 350sbc


rearend change,350 13.1, from 3.08 to 4.11
