Project "ole blue hare"

in the begining i got this turck off my boss at the time it was our shop tuck ... it had a worn out old 305 700r4 trans and an open rear end, o yeah and 391000km on the dash... so far i put a newer clean 305 in it with some minor modifications....
-58cc HO heads
-roller lifters and 350 vortec cam
-i port matched the intake to the heads with 350 intake gaskets
-headers with true dual 2 1/4 pipes and bottle mufflers
-some tbi mods with 350 injectors
-o yeah and some high performance blue pant that adds 50hp (just kidding)
-i used the late 80 style serpentine best setup but i changed all the pullys to except a 6 rib belt (skinny belts look ****ty)


some plans include
-4/6 static drop
-nip/tuck front bumper (thantks to bigjranch)
-new trans with shift kit and ratchet shifter
-debadge
-ss 454 grille
- rear roll pan with tail lights and exhaust through it

and much more!

i am on a shoe string buget and this is my only transportation i love my truck and i love to tinker and advise or mods you got for me would be great ... love the site ... theres some nice trucks here and great people!

Looks Cool! 391k huh? wow, looks great for that many miles. I like the air cleaner, I'm gonna have to try that next. Nip tuck on the front bumper sounds great
