The BBC was my drag car motor (72 Nova-10.52 best) detuned and rebuilt to sane street driven specs, a LOT is needed for this truck- both sides rockers /cab corners-floors are good, both doors and fenders and both Qtrs. High point is the bed floor+front panel and Tgate are perfect + I still need to find V8 mounts and a T400 or T350 (not interested in a 200R4 or 700R4)
