I love that motor. And I dig your ride a lot man. I think we have similar taste. I signed up at 67-72chevytrucks and glad I did, lots of god solid advice already and piles of relevant info in sticky threads.I will look into the classic enterprises disk conversion but the reason I am considering the hassle on a cross member swap is (1) I have more time than money, and (2) i would gain powersteering. I am leaning towards a bolt on kit at this point but well see. The newer CM is a bit wider which I don't like...I dig the way the wheels and tires are tucked on these trucks as is.I agree with you on the wheels. Right now I am thinking about some old school 15" wagon wheels painted white to match the bumper and grill but undecided at this point...do you know if they made those in a 10" width? I also agree that 10 sec is a lot to ask for out of a 4,000lb TRUCK. Luckily our rear suspension is already a great platform to build upon so we'll see. Spent the evening at my buddies house with the 8 sec turbo ls fox body picking his brain about this and that. I will have no problem making 600whp with minimum motor mods and he is confident we can make it hook without a great deal of effort. Whatever it runs, it runs. Either way the thing is going to be an absolute beast on the street. hell even a 12 sec vehicle is quick in my books and should eat up 90% of whats out there cruising around. Since I'm going to all of this trouble I might as well shoot for the stars...Even if all I do is land on the moon <img src="/images/smilies/tongue.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title="Stick Out Tongue    :P" data-shortname=":P" /></blockquote>
