thanks for answering my question, i was worried about push the push rods. this truck will never be raced stop light to stop light, it will be a highway cruiser and pull a light boat, sometime, so high performance isn't the target but good performance is.
86 Silverado (short) 350 (basically a L82 from 74 z/28), turbo 350 (lockup), 273 gears (going 308 or 342 after build).
