Congrats on the new member of the family. Since you found out the engine is an Olds and it isnt a 327 either, do a 4.8 or 5.3/4l60 in it!

You will get everything your little woman wants and the reliability your looking for, along with the cool factor.

Thanks guys. I will get some more pics posted up this weekend.

The motor pictured above here is a 327 Chevy, the one coming in the '81 parts truct is the Olds 350. Since finances have drastically changed since i took on this project a couple months ago, the object is to just get this truck on the road as nice and as cheap as I can. As my financial situation improves I'll be able to do the upgrades that I want. Kind of sucks because I really wanted to do a build it once, build it right deal. Fortunately this cab is in really great shape and doesn't need hardly anything in the way of rust repair. I'll use the Olds 350/350 combo since they are said to be in good running condition, with a basic edelbrock manifold and 4 barrel carb I happen to have laying around the shop. Try to bang out the dents and dings as best I can with my pre-beginner bodywork skills, and cover it with some basic single stage paint (probably a red color since it covers well). I'll still post as many pics as I can, but the build will most likely end up being pretty run of the mill.
