Re: Chassis and Body Parts Catalog Question
Chris, does your 70 C10 still have a 307? When I got my 69 it had a 307, but after adding a small 4bbl and dual exhaust thru turbo mufflers, the truck felt like it had 25% more power. And maybe it did!
I eventually replaced it with a 350, but always wished I had just rebuilt it using 64cc heads for improved flow and higher compression.
I think 307s get a bad rap because they were all low compression with 2bbl carb and single exhaust. I mean if a stroked 350 is cool, why not a stroked 283?
