No unfortunatly there will still be enough room under the hood to have a party after its all done, Just swapping another 350 into it. If I hit the lottery then I might do something else lol

hind-sight is 20/20, but shoulda done the engine swap before the lift, easier that way!

Scott M

oh i knows this lol, I wasnt planning on doing the swap for awhile but the motor blew up on me long story unfortunate event, it has been a challenge with it lifted you are exactly right would be way easier!

So much for that nice 120k non-opened 350, huh? Cool truck!

Don't forget to beef up the frame at the steering box. There are weld-on kits avail. A weak spot on this vintage Chevy. A must.

Man I love these trucks. Looking great. Out of curiosity, can't you put a 454 in there?

Ended up taking the zz4 motor to the shop...got new crank bearings,new cam bearing, piston rings, cleaned up and cleaned out, valve job, had to deck the heads, all new seals and gaskets, and everything cleaned up...didnt plan on doing that till I checked some tolerances and im glad I did... made some progress got the motor back in 5 working days and installed it in the truck...I killed all the rust on the frame with OSPHO, going to finish painting the frame and underside of the truck this weekend. going to assemble the accessories on the motor and put on the headers ect and put on the 2inch body lift i bought.. this is where im at....
