so here is my truck. im starting my v8 transplant. so far i have my headers mounts all gauges. i am going to be taking all wiring out and doing just the bare essentials, lights, heat only blower and well thats about it. this truck will not be a daily driver. so far i dont know what i will be doing for a motor setup but i will be running a power glide trans. let me know what you guys think i will post pics as i make progress, this will not be a fast project.
