Re: 80 Luv fo free!

I was figuring to go as fast as I could with as much OE equipment and replace it as it broke!!Will a 454 fit in there? I have an LT1 w/aluminum heads that needs a stroker kit put in it, then maybe some squeeze on top of that. I guess 400-500hp in one of these truck would be like 6-700 in a heavier car, so no need for BBC I am thinking 700r4 or something like that. If it has 4:10 or 56's I'll need an overdrive. A buddy of mine had an old LUV like this that he put a too huge cam in, and we never could get it to hook (good thing or crap would'a broke) that is where I got the idea when I saw this truck sitting. I need to go get it before he decides to give it to someone else. Tomorrow is a snow day so that'll work!! We got a mini blast up here dropped 5-6" in about an hour or two, so no worky tomorrow. I'll get picts!
