Its finailly done !!!!! This is the 1st Big Block I've ever owned and I'm here to tell you I'll never build another small block for myself, Holy $^&*^%## I love the torque. I still need to put the AC back in and clean it up a bit

dons454s · 12-30-2004, 11:40 PM

I still get the shakes when I get on mine lol

**Palf70Step** · 12-30-2004, 11:45 PM

Thats a very nice!!!! I see excessive tire wear around the corner.

**Canadian694x4** · 12-31-2004, 12:40 AM

Looks Good!

**Bowtie468** · 12-31-2004, 01:30 AM

Nice !!!!!

**Yukon Jack** · 12-31-2004, 10:33 AM

Congrats! Mine is my first too and although I haven't driven it yet, I'm pretty excited to give it a try. Your bb looks great in there - really like the valve covers.

OLDROCK&ROLLER · 12-31-2004, 01:12 PM

looking good. How about some specs?

mr402 · 12-31-2004, 02:20 PM

Nothing beats a healthy big block. You have one sweet looking engine there.

70c10 · 12-31-2004, 02:50 PM

That entire truck is sweet!. What intake and carb are you using?

meathead95 · 12-31-2004, 03:44 PM

So it is really that big of a difference huh? Congrats and good luck with it...Later Mike

Alexis · 12-31-2004, 05:00 PM

WOW! that looks awesome. We just need a video clip of it in action

67ChevyC10Stepside · 12-31-2004, 05:15 PM

i may be wrong...but i would think there wouldnt be much difference between like a 400 small block and a 454 similarly built. i like the small blocks weight cost and revs over the BB though...am i wrong?

Have you ever driven a BB truck? There most definitely is a difference.

Congrats on getting the beast running.
