That is WAY encouraging because in spite of it being so darn heavy in comparison to the aluminum MY6 that means someday when I grow up I can put an V8 in it and not worry about breaking something .
This is an 1966 GMC 3/4 ton I've had since 1979 , it had an V6 in it and in 1987 I put in an 292 ( waaa? ) Yep .
Today I fired it up to see if its gonna work and so far the new driveshaft and "kit" works great at least in the driveway .
The seat and new floor jute is not in yet and today I put in new firewall cardboard I got from Bowtie bits .
Ive got bucket seats ( an bucket HA HA ha ! ) until a couple days so I can't drive it . (pics) of new driveshaft with corvette "kit " adapter so it will bolt in the carrier bearing cross member . GOOD NEWS - the new (old ) shifter WORKS PERFECT and was worth the extra dough , plus its position is almost perfect (pic)
