if it originally came with a catalitic convertor it has to pass pollution. 1974 is the cutoff in most states....
i think i want a 454

I looked on the opec website not long ago and the US pumps a LOT of crude, were in the top 5 in the world. So, where does it go? China...they pay more for it than we do.why aren't we pumping alaska to its fullest yet???
damn that would save us some money...
75 and earlier are smog exempt.
it looks pretty nice. i was going to put a new motor in mine then start on the suspension. this one is already done. if my front end fits in it then all i have to do is swap out the interior. then put in the motor of choice. call it finished.

I just replaced the engine in my 1985 chevy short bed pickup with GM Mr Goodwrench crate motor. 350 long block 260 hp and 300 lbs of torque. Before I put it in I changed cams, the cam that comes with it is mild. I used the comp cams 224/230 duration 477/480 lift cam w/ edelbrock air-gap intake and hooker headers. Total was $ 2100. Brand new motor and it WILL smoke the tires, has a cool cam sound. Best of all it's considered a factory replacement. With cam and intake and headers it's about 325 hp 340 lbs tq.you guys keep over-looking something. the motor is only $3000. i am more than happy to pay someone the rest to put it in for me. i am capable just fuckin lazy.
so i found this.......75 GMC FULL SIZE JIMMY 6 INCH LIFT 35S ON IT PROJECT - $800
everything it needs my truck has. everything my truck needed this one has rebuilt already. for the price he's asking i could drop a badass smog free motor in it and take all the good sh*t off mine to finish this one. i talked to him, now i just have to find a ride to go look at it. it's about an hour and half away.

FDD get the k5 man! those things are raw! especially for that price u can make it badass. i have a 94 chevy k1500, 9 inch lift on 38s with a 350 in it. 206k miles and no problems. took my cats off and runnin dual flowmaster deltaflow 40's. she screams.
If i had a choice for a new motor i would go with a zz383. 450 some odd horsepower out of a stroked from gm? thats what im sayin. but a 454 is nice, proven, just heavy. sucks yall got smog laws, aint gotta deal with it here.

i'm gonna sell it. fuck it. it has body rot on the door jambs, around the windsheild and fender wells. it needs the suspension fully re-done, blah, blah, blah,......i love her but i have to let her go.
now this is something i could drop a new motor in myself.......1951 Chevy *REDUCED* Gotta Go! Make me an offer!

i know.
i can take the $7000 the shop was going to charge me for a new motor and buy this. then sell my truck. put the remaining money together with the truck sale money and be smoking tires all the way around the block.
where do i find one?

take a $1000 and rebuild the motor in the truck, 30 over thats it.
then spend the rest on the car. your always going to want the truck. 4x4 is a must have.
