Hell yeah man. That 86 is clean! What small block did you put in it? Was it a 350? In your opinion, how similar would a 4.3 swap be to what you did?

It's a 305. I thought it was temporary but it goes well with it. I haven't done any real wheeling with it yet, just ironing out any bugs and driving it daily. I have a 355 in the wings but that might go in something else.

A 4.3 would do similar if things were set up more for it like gearing and such. More engine room up front would be a plus.

I like making people scratch their heads and wonder why.
