Edit: Just noticed you did not say it was a 4x4,,funny,,just got a letter from a different guy asking about putting a 454 in a 67 4x4,,thought this was You!  |
yes it is a 2wd truck it is also lowered. we are putting the Big Block springs in the frnt too. We are going to use a mallory style ignition with the box on the side. we are blocking off the hearter box area also. and we are running electric fans. so we are gonna try not to tear up the cab. So we are gonna move the motor as far forward as we can. We are gonna get the stock valve covers chromed or paint them ourselves. the cab we have is all original that was a barn find. original rockers with no rust cab corners and floor pans also.
