I have made drawings and did alot of research and want to bring life back to this classic truck. Ive spent then saved, spent, then saved, and spent again, right back. This truck helps keep me focused in life along with my friends and family. Ive got alot of plans, this is just a steping stone in my life. Plans are: 16inch rear slicks, four link suspension and coilovers, narrowed Ford 9inch with 4:11 ratio, oh and rollcage.
Motor is coming from the Blazer a 468BBC. 468 has roller rockers, cam, stock oval ports, Sanderson BB8 stainless headers, Edlebrock Air gap RPM intake, 750cfm carb, HEI distributor with TH400 transmission. Plans are:MSD Probillet dist., 6AL2, 345cc assault heads with Twin 88mm turbos. Plans may change. Im saving enough money to buy High Performance and build it.
I pulled 350 out already for swap. But it also has blow by. Previous owner said engine problems started after to out ran a 55 Chevy.

There is a racing and high performance area on the board, might be a good place to look.
