My '82 Shortbed

Great truck!  There's a lot of potential there! 

[82Shortbed]

that is a nice truck, do yourself a favor and put those 882's next to your door and use them as a door wedge and get some stock vortec heads and be prepared to really burn some rubber 

I have a set of 062s just sitting in the building outside, just been debating on using them because of the lift clearance issues.  I really don't wanna pour a buttload of money into them.

I hear ya. I put some 062's on my 350 and the comp 270h cam which has .470 lift which the stock springs can handle and its like a whole other engine.

The cam I want is a .465 lift with 230 Dur at 50, think thatd be okay with the springs?

ya that's fine with the stock springs but dont forget you have to get a vortec specific intake, intake gaskets, and intake bolts which all add up but I kept an eye on craigslist, ebay, etc and got my stuff real cheap.

You have to use the rockers from the vortec heads but the pushrods from your original heads.

Yep, i've been lookin at a performer Vortec intake, Felpro 1255 gaskets, and ARP bolts.  My 062s came with the rockers mounted on them already!

I really dig your truck!  I wish mine looked as clean as yours under the hood, same year except mine is a GMC Sierra Classic

[82Shortbed]

Thanks man, that was a buying point when I looked at it, that's how clean it was under the hood the day I bought it.  I really need to clean it up again soon!  I bit the bullet, took my 062s to machine shop.  when I get them back, they will be ready for .510 lift with new springs and the guide bosses drilled, fresh valve job, and milled to around 62cc's.  can't wait!

I mounted up a 5" tach, post better pics tomorrow!

[82Shortbed]

Well, Tomorrow is here, a month later haha!  Here's the tach on the dash
