Pretty darn nice. Love the bucket seats! Why did you rebuild a 352 and not make it a 390??????

If he had made it a 390 it still would be the same external and he could put the 352 sticker on it and no one would ever know. Either way, it's a nice FE in a nice old truck.

Love the truck, you did an awesome job. As for leaving it a 352, love it as well. What is it with everyone wanting to bore them out and make 390's. If you want a 390, go out and buy one. Don't "ruin" a good thing.

Definitely an amazing truck!

Being original has it's benefits, both emotionally and show-wise

If someone were to pass that thing by me, at the right price when I had the money in the bank, I'd buy it in a second.

You could have put a 500+ FE in it, but chose to keep it original 352. That means more about the spirit of the truck than anything, IMHO.
