Restore family 65-street rod - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Welp, here goes the first real upgrade this truck has had in years. I am the oldest of Steve's sons, I decided beginning of this year that there was no reason I should be able to out run the hot rod in my Miata.

Especially not considering I have not 1 but 2 TPI motors sitting on the stand in the garage, a 305 and a 350.

I have spent the last 6 months building up the 350 into the best TPI I could make on a ultra-slim budget. Took the best parts from both motors(the 350 was a 87, the 305 was a 91) Yesterday I started pulling the old motor(305 Carb). I have attached pics as the truck looked yesterday, and of the new motor. I should have more time to get the motor out this coming weekend
