I built the truck in my profile pic out of about four different trucks i parted over the years. It was an original v8 auto truck but was missing the frame stands and Trans crossmember. I used stock 72 sbc stands in the stock location to install a rebuilt 1973 355 and a stock auto Trans crossmember slid back to install a 700r4. I used a one piece driveshaft from an swb 80's c10. I am running stock ram horn manifolds and a heart throb dual exhaust. I even have GM LT1 style aluminum valve covers and quadrajet with a stock closed air cleaner. I am running an HEI distributor, a comp cam and edelbrock performer intake though. It all went together like it was made for it. (Probably because it was!) The truck has several thousand miles with no issues.
