Good suggestion!
Fred:
That would look good indeed
.
I was thinking of using some of the parts/engines I already have laying around. I have a pair of 283s (not the one from my '62SS, that one stays "in the archives"), a complete 1978 Corvette L82 (not too exciting), a 1960 348 with 3x2s, then a few QB blocks with low perf heads.
I'm guessing it's not cheap to locate and puchase an older SBC fuelie setup. If they were cheap I'd get one for my '63 split window coupe
. I suspect you would also need the correct distributor, air cleaner, and related parts along with the intake setup.
But you are right, that setup would look and perform great!
Gotta decide if I want to purchase the truck yet. I told him I'd get back to him right quick. Need to put 'er up on a lift to get a better look at everything!
Best,
