The goal is to attain the ride and not necessarily the lift but the lift is a bi-product of the ride... blah blah blah Im trying to...

    Mild port and polish...

    Ok. So what about finishes? Im hearing rough on the intake and smooth of the exhaust... What about if you're adding TBI? Doesn't that play into the intake finish as well?

    Mild port and polish...

    I have two sets of stock cast heads from two 350's. One came out of the 77 im building and the other came out of a 72 Nova.

    Mild cam 77...

    Not looking for too much up from stock. Just trying to get a little more out of a decent bump-stick. Budget 350 build going into a 77 K10. I'm not looking for massive gains. Just a noticeable bump up from stock so a Hydraulic flat tappet will do just fine. It will be topped off with a set of...

    Ok, so it sounds like its worth it but what are the gains? Anyone have any numbers they can throw at me?

    Mild port and polish...

    Stock heads that are being reused for a 350 SBC with a mild cam, TBI (Brand undecided) and most likely 2.5 inch exhaust. Is it worth it? And by "Mild" I mean deburring the runners and giving them a shine with a Dremel and some time at the home workbench.

    Anyone know 1977 K10 350/SM465/NP205 Driveshaft lengths?

    I have a 77 K10 1/2 ton soon to have a 350 with SM465 and NP205 transfer case with a Factory GM 12 bolt in the rear and 8.5 inch in the front. Has anyone run this setup before and if so what are the drive shaft lengths? I know crawling under the truck with a tape measure is the best way but...

    I cant throw out a number when there isnt a number to throw. Half of this project is funded by hopes and dreams... and kindness of others (that's how I got the TH350 AND an NP203 for free). Trust me I would love to put a set value on this project but the truth is... there isn't.

    Anyone have an idea of drive shaft lengths for 350/SM465/NP205 on a 77 K10?

    It actually came out not too bad. Gears cleaned up pretty good and I just went ahead and bought the Novak Kit. Still have the top cap and case to clean up. Top cap is giving lots of problems but I should have them figured out in a few days. Ill post some shots when I get the chance.

    I'm going to attempt to rebuild it anyway. Even if its old and beat up I'm sure it will still do what is intended and it gives me a backup trans if needed.

    I also cracked open the SM465... wasn't too pleased with the looks but it rotates without a hitch (surprisingly). I hear these things are bullet proof to a point... Any insight on the validity of that statement.

    "The Highway Hauler"

    Welp, Here I am and here is my 1977... K10? That's really all I can call it at this point because it has taken the role of many other owners rigs. Anywho, on to the thread... I plan on making this rig into a smooth running highway coaster for transporting up and down the main arteries of New...
