I haven't heard about adapter for a 4WD MY6 for 2WD MY6 or bysa versa .

Question guys :
Will the iron MY6 handle the 350 w/ cam, duel headers , new 4 b carb ? Hatzie says yes - I'll probably do it .

I'm building an stock 350 (with whatever cam I haven't decided on yet ) for my 66 GMC 3/4 ton (recent conversion) MY6/ 6 cyl 292c .
The 292 runs great but the head gasket is leaking occasional oil ( weird ) and needs better fuel carb , sluggish .
I thought of an 283 instead so I can supposedly get better gas milage ....But then again bigger motor works less hard = less gas . Right ?
Isn't the 350 less weight than the 292 ?
