I stuck in a mild 355 in my 1986 C1500 2WD (in place of the 4.3V6) plus a TH350C and 4:56 gears in back
New power is on tap now but truck has a tendency to be twitchy at the wheel - truck gets bouncy and always feels like I am correcting left and right of center when the truck is on the go to keep my heading straight - very unnerving to try any bursts of speed
Feels like its on knife edge - any slight turns cause immediate over compensating body roll ( or is it "yaw" )
I have done new shocks all around , 275 60-15 all around on stock wheels , the steering shaft coupler was replaced
admittedly I only did basic replacement of the worst/busted control arm bushings
Where do I go from here to get some more confidence in the truck going straight and to STOP TWERKING under power
