A little dirty, but this is how my '77 K10 Silverado short bed sits currently.. (actually, it has rained recently.. It's probably a little cleaner now. Natural car wash

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Here's my 85 Stepside. Just dropped in a nice warmed up small block last weekend. Just in time for the snow to fly! Can't wait to get it back out next season. There a lot of gorgeous trucks on this thread...nice to see others appreciate this vintage of truck.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Sorry, no pic's of the motor yet. If I have time tonight, I'll snap one. The truck has been put back into storage for the winter. Not much to look at right now...just a black small block with an aluminum intake.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Well heres the new engine....like I said, not much to look at now. I'll bling it up a little next spring. Need to switch over to a posi and lower gear. Right now it will blister the right rear tire. Suppose to be putting out about 330 hp, but with the 3:08 gear it sure doesn't feel like it.

I ask because I know nothing about the motor that was swapped into the truck I now have and it has centerbolt valve covers just like that. So Im trying to narrow down the information I might possibly have in mine. ![]() |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
I'm not sure of the engine year...it has been machined .040 over and built to ZZ4 specs., not a crate motor. The heads are Vortec Heads that have been refreshed with bigger valves. If you have Center Bolt heads, then they are Vortec heads. I honestly couldn't tell you when they started making them, but from what I've heard they are a better design from the previous heads. Of course that may be just an opinion. I don't have any facts to back that up.
