Thanks you sir.
Dads have a major influence on all of us. I’m sorry for your loss, it’s never easy. I’m sure the car was a beaut. The C-20 I’m sure will be great. What size of a big block are you going for? When we started we put in a 396 big block, it was fun but the truck wasn’t nimble... that may have been because of the suspension.
Good luck, on the build.
