« on: April 29, 2015, 10:39:29 pm »
Ok so ive got a 73 k10 with th350 and 350 engine.  I heard a 454 would bolt right up is that true? Also how much ho and torque can the th350 handle and how much hp and torque would a 454 from another 73-76 chevy truck make? Or upgrade the 350 and what upgrades?

If you have access to a 454 go that route.

It likes the motion lotion but the payoff is worth it when you have to explain to the plastic surgeon why he has to remove the smile from your face.
