Re: Hey :)
That's an awesome plan. It put a big grin on my face.If you look closely you can see where my papa accidently shot the side of the truck on the chrome trim right above the gas cap. In memory of him I'm putting that piece of trim in the interior, lining up the bullet hole where the push button for the glovebox is and making the button out of the brass used in that gunAnd not only that, Im going to to a custom pinstripe design about my papa!
Welcome to the site. The technical articles on here are great, and the folks on this forum are top notch. I'll be interested to watch how your truck progresses.

Re: Hey :)
Actually, I was planning on going with a 390. But when i do i want to do it high performance so that'll take a lot of money that I dont have at the time. For right now I'm going to buy me a parts truck for about $600 and use those parts to rebuild my 360. And later on when I have a job the first thing I'm going to invest in is building my 390foghorn wrote:from Okla. Always remember that
IMO i would go back with a 390 they have more power and get better gas mileage than the 360 i think you would be better off with it. Keep us posted on your progress with pics we love pics.
