[n8r67]

Hey guys. Newbie here but ive been lurking for a few years now. Bought my 67 c-10 about 4 years ago. I recently tripped over a 2002 express 3500 with the 8.1 4L85e. It has finally pursueded me to dust the old girl off and dive in. Been searching all over the board. However, the only posts I seem to find are from guys that wanted to do it but have been persuaded not to. Mainly for the lack of and price of the aftermarket for the 8.1 or the popularity of the 6.0 and ls small blocks. I have yet to find someone that went thru with it except for the one guy with a square body. Dirtylarry I believe?? Has anyone gone outside the popular crowd and done one in the 67-72s?? Or am I gonna be the first and have to set out on my own?? I have aquired alot of priceless info and seen alot of great ideas from you guys. Looking forward to throwing in my $.02 from here on out.
Thanks!!
Nate
