Mike that is a Beautiful Truck!!! Hope mine turns out half as nice!!

For everyone else. Remember these trucks were running mid 7's all day long with 358cui and W-8 Heads all motor. Just some FYI!!!

I personally would not try going that exact route myself. Small Block shifting at 10,000rpms every pass will eat up some valve springs and other parts fast.

Turbo'd Small Block or 600+ BB with some Predators and maybe some Turbos would be my choices.

BUT always have to look at the rules for the classes at your local venues.
