Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I'm going to change mine to FI too.. just not sure which kit.
Just something about the BBC lurking under that hood. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Can't you do a 4L80E without a computer? I have a buddy with a carb'd 454 and a 4L80E in a 54 F**d and I'm pretty sure it worked like a champ. Something to look into.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I dream of an all original short box and finding a 5.3 to put in it at as a daily driver. Maybe someday... And thanks for the compliment. Hope to have a trans, driveline and brake lines in soon so I can finally start on some body work

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
When we first started my re-build we were going to big block it, my grandpa was really wanting to find an old 348 or 409 to put in in, he had one for years laying in the building and ended up selling it long before this came along. We wanted to get on of those to have something a little different but wow with the prices of them we got bit by the LS bug and never looked back.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
What has more power? A race horse or a Clydesdale / Draft horse?
Olympic power lifter or an Olympic Triathlete? There's just different advantages and disadvantages to both. I kinda like the strong man analogy personally. Brutal power but can't carry it up a flight of stairs. Know what I mean? I'm an ex / injured / old Triathlete myself but.. I'm still a BBC guy at heart. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Had some time to work on the truck today and I managed to get a few loose ends tied up. I finally installed the correct motor mounts so now my motor is completely bolted in the frame
