Niiiiiiice!
Do the tires rub on the 02? And since you are taking the 4.8L out of it--what is going back in its place??
Whats the 68 gunna have done to it?
Nice work on the IH.
You need FI if putting that itty bitty 4.8L in there...

hmm sell me ur old 350 is it 4boltmain

oh yea btw welcome haha

Cool, thanks, the 68 was like that when I bought it, it was cheap enough. Thus far I shoved a new 327/350 turbo in it along with SSBC brakes, tubular upper and lower control arms and a big sway bar.

The 4.8 in the Silverado runs just fine with the intake and exhaust no trouble at all. The tires don't rub unles you turn to the extreme left or right but they are hitting those little flaps.

As for the yellow IH, it only weighs 2600 with me in it, (I got scales) that is all iron too. figure on the aluminum head 4.8, plus its a little smaller and I should save more weight there. we'll see, I may go with a supercharger or just a few cool items like a tune and LS6 intake.

Nice. Good call on the 327. Those motors were sweet! Is it the 327 truck motor? Or did ya do some mods to it to raise CR and get more power out of it?

A supercharger on that truck would truely be unique... You would definitely get more out of it with a S/C versus an intake and bolt ons...

yeah,

I think I am going to supecharge the '47 first and the silverado after its paid off. We'll have to see first.

The 327 is a pass car motor that's 0.30 over, aluminum intake and a demon 650 flowing into long tube headers. i have a set of new HVH aluminum heads for it but I only have the cash to build one at a time and the '47 has been together for a few years and really needs a freshening up.

Good girl! That's exactly what I was going after when I asked about it being the lower CR truck motor--and if you got the pass car motor with more CR... Damn man--thinking along the same lines!!! Nice job fool.
