Well I’m back. Life happened and had to sell my 78 but I picked up a 73 c10 that I’ve had for about 2 years now. I bought it as a roller first I put a big block in it but that was just not as reliable as I would have liked it to be, so I sold that motor and swapped in a ls 5.3 drove that around for about a year and now I installed a cam, springs, trunion upgrade, head gaskets, head bolts and a single 70mm turbo on it.

It’s not as fast as it should be. It only ran 13.5 @ 106 mph. The th350 tranny does not like the extra hp it hesitates on the shifts I’ve got a ratchet shifter to install so I can hopefully fix that. It should be mid to high 12s with the setup I have.

I love the cream color. Are you planning to put a new transmission Like 4L65 or 4L80?
