I just bought a chevy C1500 for 700 bucks, it has a 4.3 w a 5speed, I am building a 350 SBC for it and it will be a TBI, Im curious as to how that 5 speed will hold up. Also its a 1/2 ton regular cab regular bed (grandpa lookin mutha!!) Should I look into swapping 3/4 ton springs into it? I am wanting to put some lift front coils on it and was going to lift the rear to match I just want to be sure it will haul my little blazer OK. What 5 speed is this also? (and before ya start harpin on the rearend, I have a FF14bolt on standby duty! LOL ) :flipoff2:
