Re: Gifted a 68 c20- what to do

You probably not interested, but consider this:

You could get a carbureted turnkey crate 350cid for 5k with a warranty. Now keep your sm 465, which is a great transmission, or if you want automatic, go with a turbo 350 or turbo 400.

This combo would be powerful, reliable, and much simpler than what you are looking at now. Then, with all the money you save, you could lower the truck, add disk brakes, a/c, etc. and still come in under budget.

This would be a much easier install, I just put a 350 in place of my 250 with a friend not long ago. The wiring alone will be a ton of work on your FI/700r setup.
