Thanks. Yours is a nice looking mill as well. I have a vintage intake with the oil fill, but my machinist talked me into an air gap. I'm not sure that will stay. It's a '68 truck engine also using 2.02 heads, flat tops, and cam. We were shooting for 325hp. I had a '71 truck 350 for that truck but found out about the 327 for sale and had to have it. The 350 I plan to build a 383 with for the '72, and set the original motor on a stand.

I knew a guy in the early '80s that had a sweet looking '77 K30 single rear wheel 4spd Silverado. Black, lifted with 38" tires. Great looking truck. He and another friend with '79 F250 when 4 wheeling and that thing was ripping it up. made that F250 look wimpy. It turns out it had a built a 283! Not what you'd expect to see. But that motor sang so sweet climbing hills and churning through deep mud. I was very impressed. The F250 had a choked out 400
