Newbie with a possable 1st build
Hey guys,
I want to say that i've been browsing the forum for awhile and decided to join. When i was 15 my dad and I semi build up a 75 Comet and that as my 1st taste of old'skool building.
I'm now 27 and looking for my own project. I've come across a 1980 GMC Stepside that I have I'm looking to purchase. The body is pretty good, monor rust and typical ware. It has a 305, Which i am assuming is a small block. It also has a 350 turbo tranny. It runs but will need to have some work done so i could drive it more then park it.
I was contimplating building up a 350 and using that, but for the time being I have read a few articals and different sites that talk about the 305 and how you can build it up to be pretty good. $$$ is a partial issuse, like it is with most guys, but i was wanting this to become an ongoing project.
Questions: Since i'm not 100% sure what the truck/engine model # is i'm not to sure where to start. Please remember that I am pretty new to the GMC old skool truck & car. lol I have a honda and a harley.... Any help or advice would well and greatly excepted?
Thanks
