all you have to do is read this thread. i told you earlier get a 1ton front a 14bff rear.

build traction bars instead of that weird swingy block thing.

and get the best tranny you can afford.

[Dudewith4x4]

PICS!!

Heres the Manifold Im going to buy. Needs some cleaning but getting a good deal I think



Heres The rust on the Rocker panel That Im gonna fix in auto body before to long..
(notice the carpet thats in it... Lol )



Heres the Interior.. (Being replaced... Any suggestions comment.)



Engine pics!! No edelbrock manifold.. I was lied to.. But it had a four barrel carb still.



Andd...





Heres the other 327 Im gonna pull and rebuild.. Parts wise What should I get? Its got 283 heads..

[jgh64pkup]

hey thats a quadrajet
and i say keep the bucket seats and get em recovered
and keep the steering wheel

[Dudewith4x4]

Whats a Quadraject? ehh?

I wanna bench. I like the girl freind in the middle to much. lol. I may sell the buckets.

I love the Steering wheel. Maybe stain it?

That holley Hi-rise intake will be a million times better than that stock intake. The 283 heads are most likely power pack heads (they have two triangles cast in the side of them ^^) or a set of "doublehump" heads which have two humps cast in the side of them.


EDIT****
So what kind of car is that other 327 in?

or the powerpack heads can have a single triangle cast in them like in his picture
heres a link to some info http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/powe...eads-3692.html

The other 327 is in my dads 1 ton gmc haytruck he bought when he was 18(hes 50 now) and its been sitting since he was 20-30. So Its gonna take some work. Im pretty sure there power pack heads..

chlsnk- The holley high rise comes with a edelbrock 600 carb... All for only 150 dollars.

[Dudewith4x4]

So chlsnk are you telling me they are good heads cause gage told me they arent worth working on and to buy new ones. I think Im beleiving gage. No ofenense.

[Chlsnk]

Powerpack heads dont flow worth a s*** and are pretty much worthless except for mabey a nostalgia hotrodder. The double hump heads flow pretty decent for being a stock head but you would be much better off finding a set of vortec heads which flow 10x better than the double humps.
Double humps also dont have any acc holes soo you are limited there too.

I'm going to run a set of double humps for now because I have a set in amazing condition with 2.02/1.6 valves and all Im going to do it clean up some of the casting burrs and throw a set of roller tip rockers on them. These heads will flow much better than the smog 305 heads i'm running now.

If I were you I'd save up for a set of good aftermarket heads.

Slap a set of 1.5/1.6 roller rockers on these edelbrock heads http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-5073/ and you could really unleash that 327 for about $1000 thats a killer deal!

[Dudewith4x4]

lol yeah I looked at these same heads the other day.. Dam 1000 dollars.. Thats more than I paid for the truckk..

[jgh64pkup]

well do you want power?

[Dudewith4x4]

Yeeahhh... And I need money though. Like I said Gage I need to go search the salvage yard for treasures.. Maybe today.. Im lazy though.

[72BlckButy]

Check the local yards and swap meets for some real nice deals on parts. Heck check the Parts board on the board.

Looks like a fun project, and my vote would be for gunmetal grey!
