    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    I'm runnin that setup on my rear end. Already got the rollpan, just need to cut off the old bumper bracing. And yea, rake the truck. I say drop it 4 in the front, 2 in the rear. I'd go w/ the 400 if you can find it (i'm tossin a 454 in mine hehehe). Five on the floor sounds SICK!

    hey go get a 97 or 98 350 vortec then you have decent heads, ( some have ls1 flat top pistons, you already have a roller cam, so I mean they are pretty nice motors, and we can find decent running ones around here for about 600 with fairly low miles.
