Never got my hands on any chevy 348s or 409s but that's the motor i want to put into my old chevy. first car ever was a '70 1/2 camaro rs,after that got a 75 v-8 monza that got totalled by a 16 yr old girl who only had her license for 2 weeks,after that i got a 64 malibu w/ blown 400 sbc since then i've been through 3 c-10s 2wds;first one was a diesel converted to a bbc it as a pig on gas in town but w th overdrive i got 25 mpg on the highway, the next was just a little 305 truck w/automatic i think it was cursed every time i fixed something on the body someone else would hit it,so i put some distance between it an me. now i wanna get serious on the current build i found a 2wd w/four speed which i wanna replace with a car 4-speed(gotta muncie) i want to bag it and install a porter built front drop cross member
