I chose a big block for two reasons 1.) I am an old school guy when it comes to motors. 2.) I already had the motor sitting there in the shop and figured why not, right? it was originally for a 72 K30 i was building, and long since parted ways with. i didn't have to really change anything, a 468 is a 454 block bored out .060 So we just used the factory big block frame mounts for a c10 and bought the rubber mounts from Early Classic in Fresno. Core support and all the other sheet metal is all 68 parts. We are planning on tearing this truck down later this fall for a well needed overhaul. The truck currently weighs 3800 lbs without me in it. She needs to go on a diet. We'll also be putting in an LS engine similar to the one in our C10R project

Why did you use a 468 cu in big block over a LS or small block? Did you have to change the front clip or just the motor mounts for the 468 cu?
