        Since it is sitting on a GMC frame , the 350 .030 bolted right in , along with a 700r4 overdrive transmission that has a higher stall corvette convertor , and a 3:73 12 bolt limited slip rear end . The 350 is a 4 bolt main, Has Arp bolts , a tame Edelbrock cam . Running 9 to 1 compression , And a Wieland aluminum intake with a 600cc edelbrock carb. Has Camaro block hugger headers . A high volume water pump helps the 2 one inch row radiator stay cool . 2 1/2 pipes go thru magnaflow stainless mufflers and 2 tips of 3/8 thick solid aluminum . The frame was shortened 17 inches by me and on a alignment rack they quoted me that front axle was off from back axle by .040. Love the way it drives . When it goes into 4th gear, the convertor locks , Trans runs at about 140 degrees , engine at 177 degrees (180 stat) , can truly say the truck is as much fun driving to and from shows as the shows are . I put new leaf springs on rear and new front coils in front along with new shocks and brakes .

                Thank you Sam and all others for positive commends. I had a lot of help where needed and am shocked on how well it does . In 2012 , At the Pumpkin Run in Owensville , Ohio , it won a top 50 trophy , not a rare trophy , but meant a lot to me with 2473 cars registered.
