Re: I found something in the driveway....

 ). I spent about $1500 after shipping ($150 freight) and it took a weekend to get it running and driving. I would recommend it to anybody looking for a good, solid, easy, set up then get a crate. As far as which one, that's all in what you're doing with the truck, I just want to tow, go camping, and use my truck as a truck, so I really don't need any extra horsepower and I like the low RPM range of the torque curve with the penut cam. I have a Camaro to hot rod around in.

Re: I found something in the driveway....
Did you purchase it dressed out or bare? I am looking at Jeg's offering with the Edelbrock intake and carb. I sure like those valve covers, how much did they set you back?

 The valve covers came from GMPP, I bought them for my old 82 Camaro a couple years ago when I was still working at a GM dealer for about $120 or so if I remeber right, I'm getting the matching air cleaner whenever I have some extra cash around. As for the crate motor, I bought the bare long block and used all the stuff I had from the original engine and the stroker motor for accesories and everything. |

Re: I found something in the driveway....
Besides ochre and white, green and white look the best.
