my 1980 rebuilt
hi all,
My dream was to have one of the grate classic GM trucks, bud my dad did not accept the idea since he is a big ford fan, now after 25 years of dreaming, i bought this truck and am gonna rebulit it. i told my uncle about my dream and he gave his 1980 superban as a gift, its only 18K miles and look like new with some scratchs, but everything is as it is from stock, I am debating of swaping the enging from old 350 to a 6.0L out from 2004 chevy HD that i have in my garage, sometimes i think to restore the truck to be just as it was in 1980 with same engine, but i have the craziness of power that makes me wanted the swap so bad.   here is some pix of the truck .   I accept some advices and ideas. |

Re: my 1980 rebuilt
Someone tried to put in a 85-87 along the line. Anywho, I'd go for the new engine you just can't beat the power and mpg that the newer engines offer.
