Maybe I better put the turbo I have sitting in the garage in it...Or Nitrous or....
Better upgrade to a turbo 400. It will handle a lot more than the 350. 12.5 is down right lethargic in the 1/8 mile

I guess we have taken your build thread way off track, lol....

you think that old truck can handle going 95-100 mph and stop straight?

do you plan any other upgrades?

you will not be disapointed when you swap it over!
i did my disc's back in December, i can't wait to do the power steering.
i'll do that when i swap in the rebuilt 360 i have.
