Does your couch look like your engine, ok kidding. I did see a gramma's couch once all sealed up like that, was old and just mint, yours just makes me want to see under the plastic...

Re: 1983 C10 build

So are you going to go with some kind of fuel injection or carb set up.

Re: 1983 C10 build

Oh hilborn would be so cool, I have always wanted a super charged big block, but sure it won't happen, still doing a lot of other builds right now to afford my 1970 454 I have to build, carb is nice and simple and 650 should work out just right, good choice especially cost wise.

Re: 1983 C10 build

looking at selling this project for 14K firm. If interested pm me and I can send a list of all the new parts already purchased for the truck. Should be everything someone needs to assemble. Many parts are EXTREMELY hard to get. There is nothing wrong with the project holding it up I simply have a home construction project running well over budget.
