That is certainly a nice truck to build up. Is the 427/TH400 going back in?
What are some of the things you have planned for this build?
Captain , Thanks I thought the same I like that aside from the motor / trans swap the truck is unmolested.

I am going to use the 427, it runs great, I was told it is fresh and turns 602 HP at the tires ( tire in this case ) . Ill throw it on our dyno once I get it back in the truck to confirm.

As to what all I'm going to do to this project is still open right now. Basically I want the truck to be a daily driver so I need much better handling, better breaking , steering etc. I was thinking of getting it lower as well, maybe on air. I have read all kinds of good reports on the Porterbuilt products and do have a email into Nate already so we can touch base so I may go this way.

Im getting a rendering of the project done up now. Ill post this once I get it.

Thanks MB
