Thank you guys!
It was pretty quick stoplight to stoplight. We had a camper shell on it that my and my brother and sister grew up in. Sometimes we'd all go flying towards the back of the shell and I figured out years later why, especially when I started driving it. Pops was racing everyone from the stop.
After I put the 350 in it and drove it wasn't the same. Hopefully the LT4 with it's 650+ HP and torque will put a smile on my face again. And having the 10 speed and right gearing will give me close to the same mileage as the Camaro it came out of (20 ish mpg). The 10L90E has a 7.39 overall gear ratio and still has a 4.70 first gear with 3 overdrive gears up to 0.64. My truck weighs about 300lb less than the Camaro and will be Even lighter with a new chassis.
