    Well I'm still doing the tear down/grunge work on the pickup. I got the front end off and engine and tranny out and torn down. The engine had been rebuilt once and is currently at .040 over and will need to go to .060, the crank still looks good and is standard/.010 and the heads look good, so at least the engine has one more rebuild left in it.

    I think I've pretty much finalized the cam/intake selection. I'm going to run a 1969 350 HP cam, square flange intake and either an original 69 AVS or 750 Edelbrock carb. The combination always impressed me for the bottom end torque they made

    I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
