Hello from Ill. Is that a 250?
77 c-10 - 77 400 86 700r4 "Emmy"
83 citation - 2.5L Four on the Floor!
88 sierra - reman 350 700r4 "Eleanor"
All normal practicality and rational money handling goes out of the window when it comes to my truck.

ive looked at them, offy, & stovebolt. first thing im going to do is a head swap to a non integral head w/ a 1 bbl. it has driveability issues right now, but all that should be gone when im done. plus it will look way cleaner under the hood ;D  i havent seen any posts related to it so i might post it when i swap
