The Beast from the East

[Swar]

I'm starting a new thread for my project. The air ride build is complete and the nightmare is over.

I got this truck in the spring of 2004. I was 16 then, I'm happy to say this '71 Chevy was my first car.

The truck was originally sold in New York.
It was an original short bed, 250 6 cyl, 3 speed on the column.

I built a 350 for it, a 1980 4 bolt main, and upgraded to a 4 speed.

Flat top pistons, 10.2:1 compression, Comp cam, Edelbrock Aluminum Vortec heads and intake, Roller Rockers, Dual Quads - 1,000 CFM
Full MSD Ignition with the 6AL-2 ignition box. Running real good now.

I recently bagged it, which was a nightmare of a project, but I'm happy with the result. I have a lot of useful information in that thread if anyone needs it.

Right now, I'm working on turning this '71 Chevy into a '67 GMC.
