Hey all,,, 1979 c-10 5.7 diesel convert to a 1972 455 cid
« on: July 23, 2014, 09:01:02 am »
 Hi all truck lovers. I am from South Eastern KY. I just bought this 1979 c-10 Silverado short bed slick side . Came as 5.7 Olds 350 diesel. Some years back was converted to a 455 cid. 1972 toronado engine.
Truck has been around the body shop about 6 years. Did not drive much. [Gas Hog]  LOL
  Strange how life goes in circles because  I had a 1980 Scottsdale c-10 diesel in early 80's which was converted to a 1970  442 455cid engine. Now that sucker would honk. :)
  Awaiting 250 hp NX nitrous system. Going to jet to 150 hp to start out. Engine has a 600 cfm holley. Going to put 800 cfm EB back on the engine.  Glad to be here.
 Will try to post a few pics.
