yeah so a guy i work with is being forced to liquidate a few projects by his err warden.
im scoring a 120k mile 70's 454 with pretty much brand new accessories for 140 bucks worth of body prep stuff (gallon of por-15, some tiger hair, other misc. items)
it runs great, is still in a truck, the truck has a blown tranny. what else do i want off of the truck, as its getting junked.
he offered me the 3/4 ton front springs with it, do i want those? its going in a 1/2 ton, but i plan on lowering it anyway.... like a 3/5 from the stock stance, i almost assume i want those springs, but yer, i dont know.
what will i need to make this thing work with the th350 in the truck? im planning on an external trans cooler and a shift kit at the minimum to help keep it cool, and will source a th400 in the mean time to get rebuilt this winter when we work like psychos and have no time for any fun stuff. then ill rebuild the th350 and sell it, my buddy bought the tools to rebuild them with and has only ever done 1, so he said i could borrow them and learn if i wanted.
other than that headers and a carb and im ready to roll pretty much?
