If you HAD stayed with the straight six, I was going to post this picture as an example. I think it is outstandingly cool...but of course definitely old school. Its a 292.

THis is sweet.. wonder were all those pieces were bought at. might just want to trick out the 6 on the engine stand and then sell it..lol

I think you can get most of that from Patrick's. I remember the owner said in his thread he ground the intake manifold smooth before painting and he (obviously) painted the distributor cap too. Personally I love the very old school cool beehive remote oil filter the old 235's had back in the day.

What cam and heads are you running? I wound up buying a brand new LY6, which is an iron 6.0L with VVT and the L92/LS3 style heads. I'll be making it a carb'd LS and loosing the VVT...at least for now anyway. Ordered my 500+hp capable 200-4r and 2500 stall convertor today.

I've read your thread a couple of times now, man thats a beautiful truck..... You never did say what the back spacing was of the rims.. I would like to go 20x10 in the rear too... Can you possibly snap a pic of the rear fenders to show how close it is and how you trimmed them..
Thanx
Trevor
