Then I have to do a Billet Specialties Tru Trac on so it all tucks together and I can get my ac in it too. I have another SB block in the shop thats built some but not crazy that would give me more power and I also have a LS1 floating around along with a 700r4. So at this point what do you guys think before I start buying parts for something I may not be happy with in the long run??? I want to drive the truck with a fun factor. Give me your ideas. Thanks Curt

Jonboy just did a TBI/700r4 swap into his 74 not too long ago for 'improved efficiency & reliability'. Although it's 'ok', he's mentioned since (more than once) he should have stuck to the KISS principle & left it carb'd & just added the OD trans.

I vote put an OD or GV's behind it....
Do the sbc TruTrac....
Drive the wee out of it....
