[my56chevytruck]

OK, I've read all the posts so I'll chime in with my .02 worth. My truck came to me with a 283/327 convervsion and it ran like a scared rabbit. the owner took me for a drive and said, hold on and screeeeeeeeeeeech away went. Very impressive huh? So I trailered this beauty all the way from Georgia to Indiana and shortly thereafter I sold the 283. I had already purchased a Gen VI 454 with the intentions of putting that into the truck, and I did. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for the upgrades, late model EFI's, etc. if that's YOUR choice. I'm here to tell you dependability and reliability can also be from maintenace of what you have. Clean gas, clean filters, etc. So you can tell Im' over 55 I guess.
